**Common questions**
## **Dressing aids: your questions answered**
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about dressing aids.
What are dressing aids used for?
Dressing aids are designed to help you put on or take off clothing and footwear without bending, stretching or needing assistance, covering everyday tasks like putting on socks, fastening buttons or doing up zips.
How does a sock aid work?
A sock aid usually has a rigid former that you slide the sock onto, then position on the floor or in front of you. You put your foot into the sock while it's on the former, then use long cords or handles to pull the sock up and over your foot, without needing to bend down.
Are dressing aids recommended after hip or knee surgery?
Dressing aids such as sock aids and dressing sticks are often recommended after hip or knee surgery to help avoid bending or twisting while recovering. Exact precautions vary depending on the type of surgery and surgeon's approach, so it's best to follow the specific guidance given by your surgeon or physiotherapist.
What is a dressing stick used for?
A dressing stick is a long stick with a hook at one end, used to help pull clothing up over the shoulders, push trousers down, or pull off socks and shoes without bending or overreaching.
Am I eligible for VAT relief on dressing aids?
If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on eligible dressing aids. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration at checkout, with the VAT removed at the point of sale.
