When your mobility is limited, dressing and undressing can take time and be uncomfortable – even painful.
Our unique Petal Back™ range of clothing can make a big difference to your everyday life and enable you to dress with dignity at the same time.
Nighties, singlet vests and daywear slide up your arms and slip on easily over your head. No need to lift your arms and no tricky buttons or fasteners to deal with.
Pants have an opening at the back so they slide on without the need to roll or lift your body.
This makes them ideal for wheelchair users, older adults who may have limited movement, and those who want to look good and be comfortable while making it easy to change continence aids.
None of our products have buttons or other small fasteners, so they’re easy to use if you have arthritis, Parkinson’s or MND.
No Velcro or press studs are used either, making our clothes scratch-free and avoiding cuts or bruising when you need help dressing or undressing. Even our seams are specially sewn to avoid rough edges that can damage or bruise delicate skin.
If you’re looking for extra comfort at night or for long periods in bed, our adaptive women's nighties and men's night shirts are soft and stretchy with no uncomfortable seams. Couple them with our warm and fleecy long ponchos or short ponchos or add a singlet underneath.
Former fashion designer Linda created the unique Petal Back™ range after seeing how uncomfortable it was for her Nana to be dressed in her usual clothes by carers.
Linda started Petal Back Clothing in 1994, with input from people who know the difference good quality assistive clothing can make:
She now offers affordable and high-quality adaptive daywear and nightwear.
