The pill box you've been looking for!
My husband takes a multitude of medications twice daily. For several years, I have been looking for a pill box that will check all of the boxes for our needs: 1. Twice daily compartments: Self-explanatory, but for some reason it is hard to come by 2. Large compartments: He takes close to 20 pills a day, and some of them are huge (fish oil, anyone?). His fingers are also very large and he has difficulty with getting pill boxes open and closed properly. It is also nearly impossible for him to stick his finger in the container and fish out the pills when they get wedged in the container. 3. Travel-friendly: Sometimes he would need to bring the container along, or else bring about 20 bottles of pills (which he has had to do before). Compartments need to be secure. 4. Not ridiculously sized: His care team has given us "solutions" in the past -- one was over 1 foot by 1 foot square! He also had to turn over the entire thing to get the pills from one of the small compartments. What a nightmare. He used it for about two days before it got thrown in the garbage. I'm happy to report that this pill organizer checks all the boxes and more. It is a fantastic size with plenty of room to spare, so he can simply open the top and turn the container over into his hand, not worrying about what might get left behind because it is wedged together in the container. He doesn't have to try to fish pills out of small containers anymore. Each "pod" comes apart from the rest of the assembly, so he only has to turn over a 2-compartment oval instead of a 30-compartment monstrosity. The lids are durable silicon, so they are easy to get open and closed properly and you can just throw it into a bag and go wherever you need without worrying about whether the boxes are going to open and spill. There are a couple of other features that we really appreciate that I didn't even have on my list. First, these have an x cut into the top of the silicon lids so that you can lay out the pills in a line to be sure each pod has a pill before you push them through to the container. No more guessing whether you put a pill in which container because you lost count or were distracted! No more counting the pills in each container to be sure! You can visually see one of each pill laid out and rest assured that you've got it right. Second, these are sort of color coded, so that they are one color on one end of the pod and a different color on the other end. Therefore, he can turn the pod around so that he knows which day he is on just by looking at the top of the thing. (He uses green for morning and blue for evening pills, so after he takes his morning pills, he turns the pod around so that blue is facing him when he comes back to it.) It's hard to describe, but makes life a lot easier. Best of all, the process is easy as pie now. I do all the work to put the pills into the containers once a week, and remind him when it is time to take his medications. It's all laid out in a container that ACTUALLY WORKS so he isn't confused and frustrated. Easy peasy! This container is worth the cost. Read more
