Beat Those Buttons

Posted: 8/5/2010

It may now be easy for people with arthritis and similar problems to wear buttoned clothes.

(NAPSI) - Here's a "fasten-ating" idea: Seniors and people with arthritis or other challenges don't have to struggle to button their shirts--or wear only pullovers--anymore.

You can now get a set of no-sew fasteners that look like regular buttons but are actually easy-to-use iron-on closures. You wear your own clothes and shop at regular stores but convert the garment to close easily. No one will know that beneath the button there's an easy-to-fasten VELCRO® brand closure.

Each Button Conversion Kit includes nine sets of buttons to insert through the buttonholes on the shirtfront and cuffs. There are buttons sized for most men's shirts and smaller buttons, for ladies' blouses, available in black, pearl and tortoiseshell colors.
