That's me on the left, with my twin sister Nicole. She's the reason Adaptiv exists.
Hi, we're Adaptiv Discovery.Tell us what would make life a little easier.
We find products designed around real life, from getting dressed and recovering from surgery to sensory needs, caregiving, work, travel, and everything in between.
A free product discovery platform. Browse here, then buy discovery products directly from our partner brands. The only things Adaptiv sells are its own support merchandise.
Hi, I'm Lindsay.
I started Adaptiv after years of stretching my twin sister Nicole's shoelaces around her shoes. Nicole has cerebral palsy, and eventually I realized the problem wasn't always that helpful products didn't exist. Sometimes, we simply didn't know they existed.
So I started collecting them.

What is Adaptiv?
Helpful products already exist, but they're scattered and hard to find. We bring them into one place and explain why they may help.
Discovery, not a store
We don't sell anything. We organize finds around what you're navigating and link you straight to the brand.
Adaptive products
Designed on purpose: magnetic closures, brace-friendly shoes, seated cuts, tagless seams, one-handed everything.
Accidentally adaptive
Everyday finds never labeled adaptive, like a side-zip boot or a grip tool, that just work. We tag why.
