What is a Nosey Cup?

A nosey cup is a drinking aid with a U-shaped cut-out on the non-drinking side to promote ease of drinking. The cup's unique design accommodates the nose and allows the user to empty the cup without excessive neck movement. This assistive drinking aid is ideal for people with neck pain, limited range of motion of the upper extremities, and swallowing difficulties.

Who would use a Nosey Cup?

Nosey drinking cups allow the user to drink without tipping their head back or bending their neck. Nosey cups would be useful for people with the following conditions:

How does a nosey cup with handles help?

  • People with neck pain and limited mobility in the upper extremities find it difficult to drink liquids in a standard cup, especially the last small amount of their drink. The scooped-out portion of the nosey cup provides space for the nose and allows the user to tilt the cup for drinking without tipping the head or bending the neck.
  • People with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) are at risk of aspiration, meaning the food or drink may go into the airways and end up in their lungs. If the food stays in the lungs, it may result in a lung infection called aspiration pneumonia. This adaptive drinking cup allows people to follow the safety rule of keeping their chin in a level position while drinking liquids. Thus, reducing the chance of liquid entering the respiratory tubes and causing choking.
  • The cut out cup is also useful for kids who are learning to drink liquids in a cup. The nosey cup helps in the safer swallowing of the liquids and transitions from the bottle to the cup.
  • Some nosey cups like Flexi Cups are made with flexible plastic, and when they are gently squeezed, the shape of the cup lip changes to direct liquid flow.
