Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Clear Bump Dots - 20 work?

The Clear Bump Dots - 20 provides tactile identification for people with low vision by creating raised markers on everyday items. Simply peel and stick these transparent dots onto buttons, appliances, or objects to create a tactile reference point that can be felt by touch, making navigation and identification easier for those with visual impairments.

Q: What are clear bump dots used for?

Clear bump dots are versatile tactile markers used throughout the home - in the bedroom for marking light switches and alarm clocks, in the kitchen for identifying appliance settings and microwave buttons, and in the living room for TV remotes and electronics. They're essential accessibility aids that help people with low vision independently navigate their environment.

Q: How do you apply bump dots to surfaces?

Applying bump dots is simple - clean the surface first, peel the dot from its backing, and press firmly onto the desired location. The adhesive backing ensures they stay in place on most smooth surfaces including plastic, metal, and glass. For best results, allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully set.

Q: Are clear bump dots removable and reusable?

Clear bump dots are designed for permanent application and are not typically reusable once removed. However, they can be carefully removed from most surfaces without leaving residue. For temporary marking needs, consider testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Q: What size are the bump dots in this 20-pack?

The Clear Bump Dots - 20 pack contains tactile markers specifically sized for optimal touch sensitivity while remaining discreet on surfaces. Each dot provides enough height to be easily felt while maintaining a low profile that won't interfere with normal use of buttons or controls.

Q: Can bump dots be used on electronic devices safely?

Yes, clear bump dots are safe for use on electronic devices including remote controls, keyboards, phones, and appliances. The transparent design makes them virtually invisible while the adhesive won't damage surfaces or interfere with device functionality.

Q: How many bump dots do I need for my home?

The 20-pack provides enough dots for marking essential items throughout multiple rooms. Most users find this quantity sufficient for key appliances, light switches, and frequently used electronics. Consider your specific needs - kitchen appliances, bedroom controls, and living room electronics are common starting points.

Q: Are these bump dots suitable for outdoor use?

While primarily designed for indoor use, clear bump dots can withstand normal household conditions. For outdoor applications or high-moisture environments, test durability first as extreme weather conditions may affect adhesion over time.

Why we know this works!

We love these clear bump dots because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch people hover a finger over a flat microwave keypad, guessing which button is which. Where should you put bump dots? Start with the few buttons you use most: the start and stop on the microwave, the power button on the remote, key phone or keyboard keys. Peel, stick, and your fingertip finds the spot by touch instead of sight. Because these dots are clear, you can still read any label printed underneath, and they stay discreet on your devices. They are especially helpful for people with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or anyone whose vision is fading but whose routines should not. One caution from our practice: less is more, because a device covered in dots is as confusing as no dots at all. If seeing color contrast would help too, choose the MaxiTouch Dots - 640 with ten colors instead.

Not sure what you need?

An occupational therapist can assess your situation and recommend exactly what will help. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll connect you with the right OT.
