Stickman Wristband wide

A ‘Now is..’ symptom wristband which allows you to let people know how you are without them asking or you having to explain.

This double sided band solves two key issues for many people living with hidden disabilities. Firstly that if you don’t speak about symptoms people never know how you are, but if you do, they stop listening because you are always complaining. Secondly, the time when you most need someone to understand that you are struggling is often the time you are least able to explain it. By flipping the wristband to change the message, you can communicating symptom level quickly and easily – taking away the need for guesswork, and the pressure and energy-drain of constantly needing to update everyone.

Made of two layers of coloured silicone, with embossed design highlighted in white ink. Because it is embossed, the ink should not rub off easily.

Width of band: 24mm

Circumference of medium wristband: approx. 20 cm (the standard size for most silicone wristbands.)

Circumference of small wristband: approx.18 cm (likely to fit a slim adult wrist)

Note: Because these bands are extra wide and double thickness, they are less stretchy than average so it can be harder to get them over your hand.

Orange: “Now is not too bad, but I need to be careful.”

Red: “Now is tough, but things will improve.”

Each side also features an appropriate stickman
