Caring for someone with dysphagia? You already know how stressful mealtime can be—between coughing fits, liquid spilling down the chin, and the anxiety of “Will they choke again?” it’s a lot. But what if a simple cup could make things easier and safer?

💡 Why Cups Matter for People with Swallowing Disorders

Dysphagia—difficulty swallowing—can turn a basic task like drinking water into a risky experience. Traditional cups often:

  • Cause sudden liquid overflows

  • Increase risk of aspiration

  • Create unnecessary anxiety during meals

What caregivers need is a cup that puts control back in the hands of the person drinking.



✅ My Favorite Flow-Limiting Cup for Dysphagia

We found a game-changer: The Flow-Control Dysphagia Cup


🌟 Features We Love:

  • Slow, controlled flow = less risk of aspiration

  • No-spill lid reduces mess

  • Simple, discreet design (no big hospital vibes)

  • Dishwasher safe & travel-friendly


Perfect for:

  • Stroke survivors

  • Parkinson’s patients

  • Older adults with mild to moderate swallowing issues
