For some elderly people, it becomes quite difficult to perform basic tasks like eating because of "tremors". They often leave the table having made a mess and their clothes full of food stains.
As for the design, most are designed to look like sleeveless t-shirts so it's not easy to wear a bib. This model is ideal in the company of other people or in a social setting. They also go down to the knee, so that when you are sitting, the crumbs of food fall on the bib and not on the knees. An adult bib can be reusable or disposable.
The choice will depend on your situation. Most people use reusable bibs when they are at home and wear disposable bibs when they are not at home. However, you can use either one whenever you want. Of course, reusable are economical.
With an adult bib, meals can again be great. As the adult bibs are longer and wider, they are excellent for providing full coverage to minimize clutter and keep one dry and clean.
They are available in a wide variety of patterns, colors and fabrics. You can also choose between a washable bib and a disposable bib. The choice is entirely yours.
