几年前,我发生了一次事故,导致我的左臂从肘部瘫痪到指尖。从两个功能性的武器到一个手臂,意味着重新学习如何做我通常用两个臂做的一切。寻找适应我每天完成的任务是重新获得独立性的优先事项。作为一个爱的人skincare,,,,I began my search for products that were not only accessible to a one-handed user but high quality—because a need for accessibility shouldn't be a cause for compromise on product efficiency. With skincare, my biggest struggle was opening and even sometimes dispensing products. If I was layering multiple products such as serums and creams, that meant battling it out with several containers, morning and night.

需要可访问性的必要性不应该是妥协的原因。

所有这些最终都为我开始和结束一天所做的事情增加了很多时间和挫败感。醉酒的大象是产品发现,不仅消除了这些问题,而且减少了我在护肤程序中采取的步骤数量。它的包装具有创新性和单手友好性,并且产品可行。干净的配方与可访问的包装(我最喜欢的部分)结合在一起醉酒我遇到最包容的品牌之一。As a bonus, all of its serums and creams (excluding sunscreen) can be mixed and applied in one step versus layering.

What makes Drunk Elephant so accessible?

Most of its products come in one of four types of one-hand friendly packaging:

Twist n’ Pump

"Twist n' pump" this retinol cream.

Twist n' Pump is the "Bend n' Snap" of beauty products for people relying on one hand. It's a fool-proof way to make something entirely attractive to us.

您会发现每一包包装醉酒的大象精华素(there are a total of five),眼霜,,,,and视黄醇霜(they just changed up the packaging on this one to make it easier to dispense versus the tube it used to come in). The twist pump is my favorite packaging type because the container is all one piece which means no runaway caps. To dispense, I like to hold the bottom portion of the bottle with my middle, ring, and pinky fingers and use my thumb and index to twist the top (colored) part of the product. This twisting mechanism reveals a pump that you can use to dispense the product directly onto your skin!

Flip Caps

醉酒is both accessible and high quality.

胶束水,,,,果冻清洁剂,,,,small shampooandconditioner,小身体霜and wash all come with a flip cap. Since some of these products are meant for shower use, a flip cap is beneficial. In the shower, soap and water serve as extra obstacles because they make things slippery. So if you’re already working with one hand, you don’t want to have to worry about wrangling products with caps you need to unscrew. A flip lid is designed for use with one hand. You can pop it open with your thumb while you can use the rest of your fingers to hold onto the bottle.

醉酒's large shampoos and conditioners are easy to use.

I love products that work with a pump. A pump eliminates the need to squeeze a tube. And the thing with tubed products is that you’re often looking to dispense them into something—something such as another hand that, in this use case, you either don’t have or can’t use. A pump lets you distribute product wherever you want it, whether that be straight onto your face or, if it’s a larger bottle with a pump, right into your one hand.

Face masks are often tricky when it comes to accessing them with one hand. You either have sheet masks, which are a nightmare to unfold, or you frequently find masks that come in large jars that are a challenge to open. Face masks are also my only flip-cap exception! Using one hand to apply a mask coming out of a tube usually ends with the container (and your hand) coated in product.

But all of醉酒’s face masksuse a pump so you can distribute small amounts of the product all over your face and then evenly spread it around. They are also compact enough and adhere to the airline liquid requirement, so, like sheet masks, they are great for traveling—because the one-handed community deserves accessible on-the-go skincare, too.

醉酒’s large shampoo and conditioner, large body wash and lotion, and face creams all work with a pump, and so do its “Twist n’ Pump” products, of course.

几乎每种醉酒的大象旅行产品都使用泵,使它们可以理想地进行旅行。旅行尺寸确实有帽子。但是,由于产品很小,因此您可以轻松地用两个手指将盖子弹出(就像用薯条一样)。

Four-sided containers

Containers with edges like this are easier to grab with one hand.

当你依靠尽用一只手,prism-shaped containers are your friend. And for that, Drunk Elephant is great because almost every single container they use has four flat sides, usually a rectangular shape. Containers with edges are much easier to grasp with one hand. So, for example, if you're dealing with a cap, you'll have an easier time unscrewing the cap without needing to worry about a spherical container spinning around in your hand (or legs if you sometimes use your legs to hold onto things you need to open).

因此,使用该品牌提供的少数产品不带泵或扭曲机构,边缘可以帮助您抓住产品。对于醉酒的大象,这将是Rosi和阳光下降以及其玛拉油和除臭剂。这些都有上限。但是盖仍然可以供单手使用,因为盖子本身是容器的延续。就像使用Twist N'Pump产品一样,您可以轻松使用拇指和索引在用其他三个手指固定容器时拧开盖子。盖子松开后,您可以用拇指一路松动。

这prism-shaped component makes Drunk Elephant's Twist n' Pump mechanism particularly successful. The flat sides keep the product from twirling around between the bottom three fingers I like to use to hold onto the base.

醉酒simplifies my routine without compromising

您可以将任何醉酒的大象的面霜和玛拉油与他们的任何血清混合。

事故发生后,我意识到我有时会在日常工作中跳过任务或步骤(不一定仅在我的护肤程序中)。例如,有时我会穿滑动,以避免穿我必须绑的鞋子。否则我会留下头发,而不是试图用一只手纠缠不成功的马尾辫。护肤通常是需要一致性的多步程序。当我意识到自己开始在护肤上跳过步骤时,因为我想用一只手限制任务数量时,我觉得自己正在抢劫自己认为很愉快的东西,只是因为我的残疾。

这unique thing with Drunk Elephant is that you can mix its creams andMarula Oil伴随着他们的任何精华素。该品牌的创始人将这些混合物视为“皮肤冰沙”。

这benefit to mixing is that you can combine whatever you’d usually layer and turn what would’ve been many steps into one. Its cream containers double as a mixing surface. The cream itself dispenses onto this surface, and then you can add whatever other product you’d like to that mixing surface, swirl it together, and apply. Since my one hand gets greasy when using products, this usually means washing my hand between opening and closing containers to avoid making them slippery and subsequently harder to open. That’s what makes mixing such a useful accessibility hack for one-handed users. You dispense everything at once and apply in one step.

可组合的组成部分是改变我日常生活的改编之一。当您患有残疾时,必须继续做自己喜欢的事情,同时寻找新的方法来做这些事情,这些方法不会不时增加您可能会遇到的挫败感。
