Open Stubborn Jars and Bottles with Confidence

Meet the Tab Buddies Grippy Pad Set — two thick, premium, non-slip helpers designed to make opening jars, bottles, and twist-off caps easier and more comfortable wherever you are. Made from food-grade silicone, these pads deliver exceptional grip without the flimsy, paper-thin feel of standard rubber pads — and now come with smart storage features so you’ll always have one handy.

What’s Included

  • 5" Grippy Pad with Internal Magnet – Perfect for kitchen use. The built-in magnet lets you store it right on your fridge, microwave, or any magnetic surface so it won’t get lost in a drawer.
  • 3.5" Grippy Pad with Keychain Hole – Compact and travel-ready. Attach it to your keys, bag, or backpack for easy bottle opening on the go. Keychain and strap options available separately.

Why You’ll Love Them

  • Serious grip power: The extra-thick 1 mm construction provides stability and strength that other paper-thin pads can’t match.
  • Slip-resistant: Non-slip silicone keeps your hand steady and prevents jars and bottles from sliding.
  • Always within reach: Magnetic storage keeps the larger pad visible and accessible; the smaller pad can attach onto your everyday keys, bag or lunchbox so it’s handy where you need it.
  • Protects hands and nails: Ideal for long nails, sensitive fingertips, and anyone wanting easier, pain-free opening..
  • Silkscreen printed design: Printed directly onto the pad for crisp, durable artwork that won’t peel or fade easily
  • Multi-purpose: Works as a grippy jar opener, non-slip coaster or general surface protector.

Details and Care

  • Large Pad Size: Approx. 5-inch diameter (12.5 cm), 1 mm thick, internal magnet
  • Small Pad Size: Approx. 3.5-inch diameter (9 cm), 1 mm thick, keychain hole
  • Material: Food-grade silicone
  • Silkscreen printed for durability and clarity
  • Care: Hand wash with warm soapy water; air dry fully

Who It’s For

  • People with arthritis or conditions that impact hand mobility and grip strength such as carpal tunnel, EDS, Reynaud’s, lupus, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, MD, CF, MS, Parkinson’s, and many others.
  • Anyone trying to avoid painful twisting on stubborn lids and caps
  • Older individuals with reduced hand strength or dexterity who want to restore independence in everyday tasks.
  • Children ages 3+ (with adult supervision) learning kitchen independence
  • Families looking for practical, accessible tools that support autonomy.

About This Design

The Disability Pride Flag was created to raise awareness, and has become a symbol of solidarity, acceptance and pride. Disability Pride Month is celebrated in the United States in July, the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

According to Columbia University, the original design was created by writer Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy. The design was refined as a collaborative effort to better represent the community.

Each color stripe has a meaning:

  • Red - physical disabilities
  • Gold - neurodiversity
  • White - invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed
  • Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression
  • Green - for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities

The faded black background represents mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse. The diagonal band cuts across the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from society, also representing light and creativity cutting through the darkness.

Safety Note

The larger Grippy Pad contains a small internal magnet. Not for children under 3 years old. For children ages 3 and up, use only under adult supervision. If magnets are swallowed, seek immediate medical attention..
