Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Fixate Gel Pads - 5 pack work?

The Fixate Gel Pads use advanced anti-slip gel technology to create a secure grip between surfaces and objects. Each 3.5-inch pad provides strong adhesion that prevents items from sliding or moving, making them perfect for stabilizing unusual or irregular shapes on tables, desks, or other surfaces.

Q: What makes Fixate Gel Pads a good dycem alternative?

Fixate Gel Pads offer similar functionality to dycem products but at a fraction of the cost. They provide the same anti-slip properties that help stabilize objects and improve grip, making them an affordable solution for people with Parkinson's, tremors, or anyone needing extra stability for their daily activities.

Q: Who can benefit from using Fixate Gel Pads?

These gel pads are particularly helpful for individuals with Parkinson's disease, tremors, or hand and arm mobility challenges. They're also useful for anyone who needs to secure objects in place, whether for accessibility purposes, workspace organization, or general household use.

Q: What size are the Fixate Gel Pads and how many come in a pack?

Each Fixate Gel Pad measures 3.5 inches, and you receive 5 pads in each pack. This size makes them versatile enough to work with various objects while providing substantial surface area for secure adhesion.

Q: Can Fixate Gel Pads be reused and how do I clean them?

Yes, Fixate Gel Pads are designed to be reusable. When they lose their stickiness due to dust or debris, simply rinse them with warm water and let them air dry to restore their adhesive properties. This makes them a cost-effective, long-term solution.

Q: What types of objects work best with Fixate Gel Pads?

The 3.5-inch size makes these pads ideal for securing unusual or irregular shapes that traditional grip aids might not accommodate. They work well with dishes, cups, phones, tablets, tools, and various household items that need stabilization.

Q: Are Fixate Gel Pads safe to use on different surfaces?

Fixate Gel Pads are designed to be surface-friendly and won't leave residue or damage most surfaces. They work effectively on tables, desks, countertops, and other smooth surfaces while being gentle enough for regular use.

Q: How do Fixate Gel Pads help with tremors and Parkinson's symptoms?

By providing a stable, non-slip surface, Fixate Gel Pads help reduce the frustration and difficulty that comes with tremors or reduced hand control. They create a secure foundation for objects, making daily tasks like eating, drinking, or using devices much easier and more confident.

Why we know this works!

We love these gel pads because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we spend mealtime sessions watching plates slide and cups creep across the table while someone works twice as hard just to eat. How do you keep dishes from sliding without buying expensive Dycem? These small round non-slip gel pads do a similar job at a fraction of the cost: set one under a plate, cup, or oddly shaped item and it stays put, which makes one-handed eating and everyday tasks far more doable. The 5 pack is reusable, and a quick rinse restores the grip when they pick up dust. They are especially useful for people with Parkinson's tremors, arthritis, or one-handed eating after a stroke. Each pad only covers a small spot; if you want to line a whole tray, countertop, or drawer, cut pieces from the Dycem Bulk Roll instead.
