Could a person with manual dexterity problems be able to apply this to a plastic cup without help?

Yes, it is easy to put on, but it isn't spill proof. It does keep things colder longer.

I'm not sure. It doesn't take particular strength, but I do need to use both hands to get it placed correctly.

The plastic cup would have to be one of the stronger ones that are sold everywhere now. I place the lid in the palm of my hand, plop it on the cup & walk my fingers around the edges to make sure it is sealed. Hope that helps with your question.

You could possibly do it one handed, but it would take a bit to get it on and started I would think. It doesn't take to the can easily.

It's definitely too thick for a needle to go through but may not be impossible. The plastic hand is hard and a little stiff, it is made this way so you can mold the fingers to go up or down and stay in place when you paint them.

Whilst I have not tried it I cannot see any reason why not. After all hand rubbing is similar to orbital buffing. Only difference is reduced effort with an orbital buffer. Should get an excellent result!

I think it depends in the severity of your condition, but this works with minimum effort. It can be held lightly in the hand and be used.

Easy to do, just have some teflon tape and a little muscle and you can do it by hand

Yes, it can be used with one hand. I think if someone had extremely small hands it could be a bit difficult, but the average adult should be able to manage it.

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

No, no. the cup is not heat friendly to the hand. Not as well insulated as the storge cups

If you have wonky arthritic hands like I do, you can use a strap wrench (like this http://www.amazon.com/BOA-BO13010-Constrictor-Aluminum-Wrench/dp/B0011E4QU4) to open up the housing. They're useful gadgets to have around anyway for jars and tough knobs like outside water faucets. The Vaseline application does help but the diameter of the housing is just too big for me to get a decent grab on it with any strength. (I have the freestanding model.)

Yes, you can. The trick is to not apply too much suction, and to apply a little oil, any kind, we use avacoda or coconut. This allows the cup to slide with ease and not cause any pain, otherwise it kind of feels an Indian burn.

You can use this yourself. It just needs to be held firmly in place by the hand you aren't using to give the shot.

I think that if care is taken to dry off and also lubricate moving metal parts it could be used for that. A PVC shower commode wheelchair would probably be better suited.

It can be done but with difficulty. I press it on and then twist but it does not feel secure.

It takes a strong grip but it is possible. Might be easier with grips and a rubber mallet.

I am a caregiver and purchased these for an adult patient with muscular dystrophy, a progressive weakening of the muscles. Using them has helped him hold a fork, spoon and lightweight glass somewhat more reliably. I really don't know if they would strengthen the hand enough for guitar practice. Perhaps you could talk with a medical doctor, physical therapist, or even a gym teacher or trainer for a better idea of what this product can and can't do.

Yes. As long as the liquid is not too hot. Then a teacher can help once in awhile.My 5 yo can do it.
