These are housewares products that make opening jars, bottles, cans, and medicine containers so much easier. If you have arthritis or problem hands, or you occasionally need just a little help with everyday tasks, these housewares can really come to your aid.

1. Grip - Shelf Liner Rolls

This is certainly my favorite type of low priced, all purpose grip material that can easily be cut to any size square or circle, to assist in opening jars and bottles, or just to easily grip range timer controls. These can readily be found at most department stores and cut to desired size. There are many other uses for these liners, such as for shelves in recreational vehicle cupboards to keep items stable, or to lay flat on your box spring to keep the mattress from sliding.
