Small mouth

[Chriswell]

Hello fellow friends. My mouth has got smaller and now when I drink out of a cup my tea dribbles out I can't use a straw as my mouth is numb, can anyone recommend a drinking cup I can use

Many thanks Chriswell

A wee sippy cup is needed pet...am the same...dribbles all down my jumpers! You can get sports type cups and beakers that aren't like baby sippy cups. My nose is getting smaller! weird!!!

Hi Marilynmcl thanks for the reply it sounds ideal didn't like the thought of a baby slippy cup, my nose is pinched in so hard to breath.

Next step is a bib that doesn't look like a bib x

Hi there, There are quite a few products on the market...some look more attractive and normal than others!!! Have a google search and see what comes up.

Try the Disabled Living Foundation website dlf.org.uk

Or see some examples here.

The combination of difficulties with holding cups with wonky hands, and then small mouth means how anything gets in your mouth is a miracle sometimes!!!

All my best

Thanks for your reply Lucy I have sent for a cup that comes with a lid for liquids and one for thicker liquid like soup. I can't wait for it to come and wish I had sent for one before I started dribbling.

I wish I could go to a shop that sells these aids but unfortunately I live on an island.

Not to bad eating solids it's the liquid that won't stay in.

Hurry up mail man!!

Regards
