After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im showing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. As a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic I hope that I can help you. The wheelsnoheels message is “so no one has to feel alone.”
I have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.
If you feel I have given you value today consider buying me a ko-fi, just think of it as a tip.

Even as a cellist this is an awesome tip. Sitting in the same position holding a cello for 3 hour rehearsals normal jeans dig in, ride down and ruin your posture. This is an awesome idea for anyone who is sitting all the time! Very smart!
I would LOVE a mini series about wheelchair friendly clothing. And I’m off to go try some maternity jeans because I get so much pain from the button. Thanks!!!
Me, too! Also seriously allergic to the metal. I plan to try this.
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Oliver Trent instablaster :)
@King Benedict i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@King Benedict it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
I almost exclusively wear maternity bottoms. They're honestly the best way to have cute disability/wheelchair friendly pants. I HIGHLY recommend Old Navy and Target to others in the United States.
I would definitely love seeing more clothing hacks for people in wheelchairs in fact you was the one who explain to me the vest trick for my legs and I use my husband's fishing vest whenever it rains to keep my legs dry and to stop the wind from making me even chillier so any type of hacks for clothing for wheelchairs would be much appreciated as well as any type of hack to keeping your legs warm in the winter because sometimes having a bulky blanket doesn't always work
Ahhh thank you. Really glad my hacks have helped you. Ill see what I can come up with. xx
Not actually tried this myself as I'm not a FT WC user, but I have thought about wearing waterproof/winter jodhpurs when it's cold/windy/rainy. I would have to buy them in a few sizes up depending on the waistband, but they look a lot warmer than standard waterproof 'over' trousers I've found!
Being lactose intollerant and having sensory processing issues I only wear maternity jeans and leggins for outside of my appartement. Makes a lot of sense, that these work well for wheelchairusers as well.
I’m so glad it’s not just me, I exclusively wear either leggings or maternity trousers, especially jeans.
Wheelchair clothes, like you said, are either aimed at older people or are outrageously expensive.
Due to my neuropathy I can’t have lots of seams, embellishments etc and the material has to be soft so I never buy online as I need to have a good feel of them because the last thing I need is my trousers causing quite violent spasms all over the place. I have a massive wound around the whole of my abdomen so can never wear anything with a waistband so for all these issues over the bump maternity trousers are ideal.
I think, like you, people are secretly envious of the fact that we can get away with wearing maternity trousers when not pregnant.
The other clothing adjustments I make are:
- not wearing proper bras with hooks and wires (so difficult to fasten/unfasten and so uncomfortable) so I wear over the head sports type bra, I put it over my head and onto my stomach area then put my arms through and adjust it, it’s so much easier to get on and off plus it’s much more comfortable.
- I wear a size up in T-shirt’s to make it easier to get on but make sure that they are short in the body so that I don’t end up with a bunched up mass of material around the waist area.
- I struggle to get on/off over the head sweaters and hoodies so tend to rear zip ups just to make it easier.
- I’m not very good at buttons so can’t wear regular shirts but occasionally you can find what look like buttons but are actually poppers or a couple of times I’ve had a shirt with magnetic fasteners which look like buttons (the only issue with this is that if you get caught up on something and give it a good tug the magnets can come undone. The other option if you have a gorgeous shirt/ blouse with buttons is to wear a T-shirt/ camisole underneath then you don’t have to button it up.
- i struggle to get a big winter coat on so tend to layer lots of long sleeve T-shirt, zip up, gilet etc there are also lots of beautiful big wooden wrap/cape type things (sorry don’t know the actual name) that can add another layer.
Anything to be comfortable whilst still wheeling!
I forgot, happy belated birthday. It looked like you had a great time with your mum and sister. 😀 🎂🎁
Thank you for your comment lovely. Yes they do seem to be very expensive. x
I have peripheral neuropathy and had a stage 2 pressure sore on my foot, I put these new bandages from the Johnson’s brand that are like a patted silicon, they’re for blisters I think, and they work a charm to protect my boney provinces. Maybe give them a go?
justaperson thanks for the tip.
wheelie26 of course! They do the trick when you can’t feel your feet and want peace of mind knowing you have some silicon to protect you from a pressure sore! I got mine from amazon prime for pretty cheap!
As a bloke, I live and die in Cotton Traders jogging bottoms. As I need the legs shortened I buy the longest legs, so there's plenty of room in the legs to accommodate my leg-bag. Tight trousers would be a practical as well as fashion disaster on a man of my advancing years. 😭
I just wear jeggings currently. No buttons or zips. lol
My question is why are clothes made for the disabled old fashioned. lol
I don't know. Or they are really expensive :(
Jeggings are painful for me. The inside fabric of every pair I've every are really rough and I have incredibly sensitive skin. Plus, the waistline ends up digging into my abdomen if I want to get a pair that fits my legs.
I know most of the "disabilty friendly" clothing I have seen is definitely not the most appealing, and yeah quite expensive too!
I highly recommend going to a tailor or just taking a seam ripper and taking out any back pockets or other seams on the sitting surfaces. They're a HUGE source of pressure injuries if you don't have good sensation.
Iam trying these this week...can’t wait, gave up on jeans because of pain in chair...yeppiiee!
So glad you did this. I think that what this illustrates is that women’s clothing needs to be more comfortable, classy looking and affordable no matter the person’s situation. If a famous fashion designer had runway models wearing maternity clothing with souped up looking tops and accessories, it would be called High Fashion. It’s all marketing and how you look at it.
I watched this video 3 years ago when it came out but since then i've become chronically ill and an ambulatory wheelchair user so I'm watching it again to refresh my mind
Due to watching this video when it came out I went and got myself a pair of Maternity jeans as at that point I was using a wheelchair part time. I’m now a full time wheelchair user and the only jeans I wear are maternity. I always rave about how fantastic a ‘hack’ it is the anybody who will listen, especially any members of my multi disciplinary medical team in the hope to spread this knowledge out as much as possible. No more jeans have down your bottom, no more cold kidneys, real comfort and support.
When I was first disabled, I wore maternity jeans. They were so comfy but in 1979 you didn’t as many options as today. It had a U-shaped cut out with elastic inserted. The tube style waist band you have is great!
As for the fitted leg openings that come with skinny jeans, I would recommend altering the bottoms of each leg with a zipper on the outermost seam at a length based on where the jeans get easy to get your foot through. Probably 3”.
The other way to alter the leg bottom is to put elastic or Lycra fabric on the inseam so the opening will expand as you push your foot through.
A shoe repair shop can stitch denim easily. I hope my comments help and maybe you will give it a go then video it! 😊
I hate shopping for clothes, but next time that I force myself to do so, I feel that I may have to try on a pair!
This is such a great idea. As I wheel around I find my top rises and any reaching forwards shows my pants and crack! I'm now going to buy maternity jeans. Also maternity tights, great idea, thanx to you and your friends for making it feel more acceptable to wear maternity when were not pregnant xx
Why not ask someone who is good at sewing or alterations to put in a zip on the legs?
I am a new wheelchair user and think this is brilliant. I am watching all you videos so I can be more informed about my new lifestyle.
Such a good idea. I might give it a go! Especially in winter, when my lower back gets cold while sitting while wearing normal waist height jeans, because high waist jeans don't feel comfortable around the belly when you sit in a wheelchair.
I'm really curious about maternity jeans now! I'd given up on jeans completely, because normally my stomach is so distended and sensitive I can't stand to have anything digging into it...but that nice big waistband might change my mind :)
Might be worth ago??? Id love to know how you get on. :)
Might have to try this! I've never been able to wear jeans, but these could make it easier. The maternity tights mentioned sound great too 😮
Even prior to my disability, I've had stomach issues, sensory issues, etc and maternity pants have been my BIGGEST secret. Never been pregnant may never be, but those pants... 👌
I will absolutely be trying this out.
I may have try the jean hack
Oh my gosh! I love this idea! I have gastrointestinal issues and chronic pain and have been struggling with the fact that I can only really wear sweatpants and the occasional leggings. To the maternity section I go!!
You two are so funny and sweet together! At our home, we always say, "Just say no to crack".
What a perfect idea... maternity pants! I have a big belly, because of Celiac...much trapped air. Perfect!
Also after your winter clothes video I got a really good wool snood ( from ski shop). Awesome. Please do more head and neck wear🤗
I switched to maternity pants after a year into my SCI because I ended up needing two ostomy bags. They're so comfortable and give me support around the waist and conceals the bags.
Thank you for making this video. Manufactures have stopped making my comfy cargo pants I've worn for years as a wheelchair user. Now I have an unfamiliar option to investigate. Thanks again Gem!
Omg....i never thought of that!!!!!! Aahhhhhh, you may have just saved my bigger wheeled girl sanity!! Ahhhhh❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wear maternity jeans as I am a bigger person and they are comfortable for me. I only use a wheelchair part time, but I also ride a scooter (motorcycle) and they are great for riding. I find them comfortable.
Thank you I will be getting my own first power wheelchair. This is very helpful!
My favorite cold weather pants come from a company called "just cozy". Fleece lined leggings that keep you warm and are comfortable as possible. I go up one size from what I normally wear as I find they are slightly short in the waist for my liking.
I've been thinking of trying maternity jeans for a while. I typically like them to be tight on my legs but looser on the waist to accommodate the weird wheelchair belly we ALWAYS have. So I've used high-waisted jeans as an alternative. But even high-waisted jeans become uncomfortable after a while and especially after eating. Thank you for your video and your commentary, I'm for sure giving maternity jeans a try!
I'm a wheelchair user, I always wear high waisted jeans for this exact reason as it brings the waist band up to a much more comfy leval when sitting. I hadn't thought about maternity jeans but I guess they must work in a similar way! thanks for the tip x
I watch footless Jo and she mentioned in one of her videos taking clothes you already own to a tailor and getting zippers put I in the places that would work best for you. It might still be pricy but not nearly as pricy as buying the already made accessible clothes especially because then you know the clothes already fit and are comfortable!
I’m not a wheelchair user (I use a cane) but I have tons of neuropathy from 5 abdominal surgeries and maternity jeans are where it’s at!! Especially now that styles and sizing are so accessible, affordable and lets be honest super cute! Most importantly, you can’t tell that they are in fact maternity jeans. I’m glad you’ve made this video because people NEED to know this hack💖❤️
Edited because the 23rd was my bday and my partner and I saw Bohemian Rhapsody that day as well!! We loved it so much!!
I have used Maternity jean for 25 years also I have adapted normal jeans into maternity.👍use velcro at the bottom.
This is actually a really good idea, I would never have considered maternity jeans until this video! Yeah I usually just get super high-waisted jeans (well jeggings because they are way more comfortable) and that covers the lovely crackage from sitting. It also hits me at a higher point in the waist too, so they don't jab into my lower organs and it's way more ergonomic on my hips (which can be a bit of an issue, especially since I don't feel my hips past the top of them so tight jeans/underwear have been known to cause sores and cuts). Uh next time I go jean shopping I will definitely keep this video in mind, that is a really good hack!
Im totally converted now. I wear the jeans that I feature in the video all the time now. Look on my IG, they are featured alto. Let me know if you try it, plush I think they are super affordable. xx
These are brilliant! I tend to wear leggings but I love a good pair of jeans. I wonder if Old Navy has them as those jeans fit me best usually although, I haven’t tried H&M yet.
I’m not a wheel chair user but I find your videos to be fun and entertaining
I never thought of trying this! Great idea 👍
happy late birthday! and you have changed my life with being in a wheelchair lol
I like this idea! I never had the ones with elastic on when I was pregnant. They might help folk with PoTS as their hack is to use spanx to increase circulation
Please post up links for the kind you got with the elastic.
Also Primark have got a great section of warm woollies and long tops in right now. Could you film another haul? Thx.
awwww thank you. The jeans are "Mumma super skinny" over the bump jeans from H&M. I have another fashion vid coming up hopefully next week. :)
@@Wheelsnoheels why not try jeggings
I may have to give this a go.. I'm apple-shaped and naturally tend to carry weight around the belly, but even more so as a para. I struggle to find jeans that are high-waisted enough but also comfortable around the belly - this seems pretty brilliant , thank you!
To be honest ,I was a little stumbled when I heard you were testing maternity jeans, but after I watched the video I am hooked on them too!
As I am using my wheelchair more often now this sounds like a good idea!! I am gint to get me a pair of those when we go shopping next week! I will tell you about my experiences then!
Have a wonderful weekend, Gem!
Interesting idea! I want to try this now!
absalutly brilliant. That will be my next thing to look for in clothing. I am a jogging indoor person. But change to go out. Only two pairs of jeans that fit due to high waisted ones. Although they have never dug in... maybe due to having the slight give in fabric. i do find it a nightmare undoing zip for loo. I do have one leg and so i hop rather than transfer. but fine my tousers can slip onto yukky wet floors. i also have to alter all my trousers as through knee amputaion. nightmare. But got two plans now. Easy sew for joggers and a nice fold back pouch kind of thing for out door jezns. This means i have something to pull that last bit of the trouser leg over my stump and look tidy. Had comments from friends. Not something id like to make day in day out. as having to keep trying on for a comfy fit. Not found anything on the market to cover this issue. So matternity department at the age of 66 should get the tongs wagging.
I didn’t know there was such a thing as wheelchair jeans, wow
me neither you learn something new every day
Same
I am not in a wheelchair, but I watch your videos so I can be more aware of what it is like to hsve a significant disability so I can help/ understand those that do better.... watching this video made me want to go sew a pair of jeans that would be better for those in wheelchairs... idk why there aren’t more options out there for you! It wouldn’t be hard for designers to do the same waist band as maternity jeans but invisible zippers on the legs and it shouldn’t be that expensive to do!
I wear maternity jeans for multiple reasons and it’s true they do work in wheelchairs as well. if they have a boot cut or flair bottom that may be better. I have one paralyzed foot and can never wear the skinny Jean type did do that. Good luck all thanks for sharing gem
Will you give this hack ago? xxx
I bloat a LOT in my belly, and I'm definitely going to be trying this. 😆 It looks heavenly.
Oh it is!!!! Plus. just think!!!! more room for christmas dinner!!! x
I think I might! Depending how the price is on maternity jeans and if they also work when upright and walking because I only use a wheelchair part-time.
the only thing to consider if your walking around is you can wear "on the hip" or short jumpers. as the blue waist band comes down low onto your pubic bone. sooooooo there is a possibility it can be seen. But most of the jumpers i wore coverd it fine.
Don't think that pants idea will work for guys in wheelchairs lol.
Heyyyyy love from Israel!!! Love the jeans its so much better on my belly on injury level para line, its way better then regular
Glad I’m not the only one the others I wear are the M&s slightly stretchy magic smooth ones I go up a size so I don’t have to undo them but they are also really comfortable
I wear daily ritual jeggings from Amazon. They are $20 USD, super soft and strechy. They are absolutely wonderful if you're a little too small for maternity bottoms. Try them!
I was shopping for jeans today and I gave up
Maybe I should try the maternity section just in case!
Have you tried kinetic clothing it’s made for people that use a wheelchair. They have clothes like coats , jeans, jumpers and even waterproof covers for your legs that actually fit and actually flatter you. Perhaps you should try them out.
so smart! could get seamstress to add those lower leg zippers.
Nice
Hack on winter coats
I had never thought of this before and am desperate for better clothing in my wheelchair especially as I have a new job coming up.
I wear stretch jeans/jeggings from ebay, pretty sure I pay under 20 pounds, maybe under 10 for the weird colours. They do have buttons, which have never bothered me and they are stretchy enough to take on and off without undoing the buttons.
I think maybe different shapes makes a difference, my thighs and hips tend to be the big bit, so I tend not to suffer with tight waist lines. In reality I wear a lot of dresses/skirts and leggings.
Great idea
Really helpful video! I think i’m gonna try maternity jeans aswell😍
That's totally genius😀
I really struggle to find jeans that are long enough as I need 33"-34" length and I now also struggle to find jeans that are comfortable on the waist. I HIGHLY recommend New Look Tall Emilee jeggings as they are the most comfy trousers I've had maybe ever. They are high waisted so I can pull them over my belly instead of having a bulge and they don't show my butt. Theyre also SO soft, so much so i can actually lounge in them. So glad I can wear jeans now!!
If there are masculine versions of these, that would be great. Are there? But for the people that these work for, that is a good, pretty creative option. That bathroom you were in looked really nice though. 👍🏽
Im wearing maternity jeans cause I’m pregnant and honestly they are way more comfy than regular jeans in the wheelchair! Probably gonna stick to my maternity clothes long after I have my baby 😅😂
What a fantastic idea!! I'm going to try this out with leggings, jeans, shorts! I mean, why not be as comfortable as we can be? 👍
i have used plastic bags over my feet to help them easily slide through pants. would that help you? it is fairly to easy put a zipper in the lower leg of pants. but, i would make sure there is adequate padding in a flap behind zipper so: skin is not pinched when zipping, zipper does not cause a sore from rubbing or pressing skin.
thanks for the tip my pants are always digging in and are so unconfutable or they wont stay up . I have mooned lots of people in the process of transferring because my pants fall down
Hi thanks for this I am looki.ng for jeans not only for wheelchair use and that stay up but also due to have a SPC on the fitted in the not to distant future and I bloat so need casual comfort to accommodate. But also need to stay put as part time on crutches too and unable to pull them up.
I like leggings and jean leggings vary comfortable in my wheelchair but mostly I wear dresses alot of sun dresses even with leggings in winter 🥶
I learned to sew 🧵 so that I could put in my own zips. Now have a great group of friends through the group I joined. Bitch n stitch groups are popping up everywhere. Try it
Ps. My machine does not need a peddle. Look for an on off button
Pants are not a problem for me. Sleeves and skirts are! Sleeves that wont stay up, and skirts and scarves, who are always getting tangeled up, in my wheelchair! 😓
I don't use my wheelchair that much but I'm so tempted to try a pair I have bad motor skills and can't really do buttons and zipper
You can actually buy maternity jeans with a zip on the side but it is not that big only about three or four inches
Lol so I use a wheelchair now but I’ve always worn dresses and skirts. And I always wear them with tights or leggings. That what my style was before becoming a wheelchair user and my style hasn’t changed since getting my chair. So I don’t really wear jeans lol. Only thing is when the skirt tries to get dirty on the wheels but I just tuck it under my legs and that usually helps for a little while! Love all your vids! Also one Sunday when I had transferred out of my wheelchair and was playing on the floor with some kids from church I let some kids play with my chair ( I figured that it was a good way to help them not be afraid of wheelchair users and feel comfortable asking questions) they ended up like fighting over it lol. And one of them commented how exhausting it was but I was like well it means independence and I can get around and live my life! And the kid was like oh yeah I guess it is worth it then. Lol. Cutie pies!
Hi Sophia may I ask what happen to you?
I have a heart condition brought on by a strep infection the doctors missed the first time I went in and autoimmune issues and arthritis. I can pass out so the wheelchair keeps me from getting hurt and I’m much less likely to pass out in the first place in the chair.
@@SohiTheTinyKittenHuman do you feel your legs now?
I wear jogging shoes for the same reason, my lower stomach as it is inflamed most of the time.
What a great idea!! Love your video. Subscribed.
Thanks so much for your helpful tips! I am wanting to try the maternity jeans and am looking at some on ebay, the ones I'm looking at have a white panel though and I'm worried it will be seen as opposed to the dark material? Did you find that the material panel was hidden all of the time? Thanks so much, Leanne from Australia x
Going to give this a try!
Honestly I wear them anyways because I'm a bit fat and have funny fingers so I can't do buttons and zips easily
Also since I'm autistic I hate the feel of buttons on my belly since its so tight and as I also walk strangely due to my bones growing strangely so my feet and knees turn in and my knees bend in an odd manner they have more stretch
I would love tips on how to keep warm w/o bulk.
I am currently living in Iceland and I can walk but not far.
When we first arrived in Iceland I wore 3 legging/trousers and 3 jumpers. Hat, scarf and gloves too. And a duvet feather coat.
Now I am sitting and not walking I am freezing.
Any ideas?
IZ Adaptive has made some great jeans in the past they went on a break but are back now. I have all IZ jeans I have a few different styles but all of mine are seated cut/wheelchair cut... They have done some with a yoga waist, another type has the zipper on the side, they did have jeggings in a seated cut. I even have lounge pants from their site I like the seated cut that much. I don't know what their new stock is like because that is where my mom went shopping for me for Christmas so I have to wait to browse their new selection.
Oh that you. Ill have to look that up. x
8:53 I was just wondering about this. I'm the same if I'm sitting down for a long time, especially through a meal and then sitting down the rest of the night.
Hey! I was wondering if perhaps you could tell me the male/model or where you got your driving aids from? I'm looking for something similar or the exact same thing and I'm having a really difficult time finding it.
Hi Chantel. They were from ergo mobility .co .uk. I have been using the company for about 12 years and they have been fantastic and really friendly. I hope they help. Any other questions feel free to shoot me an email as I don't always see comments. Im also planing another car vid so keep and eye out for that. ;)
You know what? I think these might work for me. I'm not in a wheelchair (yet. May have, may not) but I have dozens of non-cancerous tumors in my abdomen that are very painful and most pants have been really hurting the past year. I _loathe_ wearing any pants that have a stretchy waistline outside and prefer jeans but this seems to be a good combination of the two.
I am going to try these I am a hemiplegic after a stroke at 47 just found your channel
I have a permanent catheter and finding trousers to cover it is very difficult
I usually hate jeans so I might have a look at maternity jeans if I can find any in petite/short leg length.
emily cheetham lots of stores that carry maternity usually have a petite
I use these for bloating and my wheelchair
A good tip is to look at thrift store or craigslist/OfferUp/etc for used ones
I get them for $5-7 from goodwill and offer up
HatakeSakurashi unfortunately I live in uk so total different stores here.
Wow thanks for the tip ;)
I tuck in my shirts :( so meternwry jeans won't work but I have some other trousers with elastic waistband
i love your hair : )
Ooh this is such a good idea! I think though if you find the bottom of the leg harder could you not just put a zip in the seam yourself?
Taking them to a tailor probably would be very cost effective. I am a sewist, but would not gladly put zippers in jeans legs (so much bulk) And by the way, why are tailors so much more inexpensive that dressmakers?
I would wear maternity jeans and I'm not even a wheelchair user--I have Tourette's and jeans set off my tics so badly because of how tight and scratchy they are in the waist.
Off topic, but this made me think of the time i came out of the disabled bathroom stall to face someone in a wheel chair and I really awkwardly blurted out “i have bad kneees” because I didnt want them to think I was in there without a reason- how silly was this? I wanted them to know i wasnt completely able bodied but I also felt like an idiot
Had an injury and im mostly fine but getting up from a seated position can be difficult
I dont understand why you go down a size, I find going up a size help with comfort and breathing plus in dressing rooms its a lot easier to pull on and off if they are looser. Plus its easier to cover up a bulky waistline than it is to look fashionable.
Only if you are buying maternity jeans. I found that I needed to go down a size in maternity jeans as I'm not pregnant. ;) But everyone is different :)
I am new to being a full time wheelchair user do to a surgrey gone wrong i am unable to walk i have a question for you ? How do u get a wheelchair like yours i have the plan normal wheelchair i sit in it all day and its very uncomfortable and painful to my back i also have rods pins and screws in my back and a fused neck sadly they broke my neck during back surgery but that's not what made me to become wheelchair bound unable to walk i had my gallbladder removed April 14th 2017 and woke up unable to walk
I love your chair low back and looks lightweight
I've been wanting to wear some jeans and was dreading the idea of them being tight across my belly I think I'm going to do like you did and get some maternity ones and on that line something that is really weird that I where is men's underwear they are so much more comfortable on the leg creases then women's women's underwear cut into you badly or men's underwear have a nice little egg that comes down and doesn't cut in there's my little secret
Hello
