Getting dressed is one of the most personal things we can do, and for many people with cerebral palsy, it’s painful, difficult, or impossible to do independently. That’s where Nicole Cuervo and her company, Springrose. 

Springrose’s mission is “to design intimate products that champion resiliency and respect dignity.”

And while they’ve started with an adaptive bra, Nicole explained that their purpose as a company is “to improve quality of life, we have a lot of other things in the pipeline for different needs that we're not serving at the moment . And then we're also in the process of developing content around women's health at the intersection of disability.”

    WE NEED IT TO BE WIDE ENOUGH FOR OUR PADS AND OUR BRAS BEING WITHOUT BUCKLES ON STRAPS BUT BODY HUGGY UNLIKE THE ONES OUT THERE

    Thank you for sharing this with us @VANGOUGH. I can really hear the importance of this criterion for you. Have you managed to find any like this yet?  :)

    Oh these look interesting! I find the Scottish company Molke really good for more accessible bras that actually provide support too. They pull on over your head so no trying to reach around to try and do up hooks, and they're really comfy. Though on bad days I sometimes still need help pulling them on and off

    These look really comfy! As someone with a stoma, I love that there is underwear with a pouch for my bag :)
