Ideal For

This drinking cup is well suited for individuals recovering from whiplash, cervical spine injuries, or neck surgery who have been advised to avoid tilting the head backward during drinking, and need a cup that allows them to drink in an upright or slightly forward head position without spilling. It is a practical choice for occupational therapists working with patients on adaptive equipment for self-care and daily living activities who need a simple, low-cost drinking aid that promotes independence at mealtimes for patients with neck mobility restrictions. Individuals with dysphagia or swallowing difficulties who have been instructed to maintain a chin-tuck or neutral head position during drinking will find the nose cutout design supports safer swallowing mechanics compared to a standard cup. It is also appropriate for elderly individuals and patients with Parkinson’s disease, ALS, or other neurological conditions that affect head control and make tilting a standard cup backward difficult or unsafe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the nose cutout help with drinking?
A standard cup requires the user to tilt their head backward as the cup is raised to drink the last portion of liquid. The nose cutout in the Nosey Glass allows the cup to be tilted toward the user without the rim pressing against the nose, so the user can drink the full contents of the cup while keeping the head in a neutral or slightly forward position — eliminating the need to tilt the head back.

Who is this cup recommended for?
This cup is commonly recommended for individuals with neck injuries (such as whiplash), post-cervical surgery patients, individuals with dysphagia who need to maintain a specific head position during swallowing, and anyone with limited neck range of motion who finds tilting the head backward uncomfortable or unsafe during drinking.

Is this cup dishwasher safe?
Yes — the Nosey Glass is dishwasher safe. Place on the top rack of the dishwasher for best results. The translucent plastic construction is durable and maintains its shape through repeated dishwasher cycles.

What is the capacity of this cup?
The Nosey Glass holds 8 oz of liquid. The translucent plastic allows caregivers and users to monitor fluid intake visually during use.
