I WANT to love this, I really do. As someone living with Erb's Palsy, in theory I'm a target customer for this. But practically, I just don't see myself paying for this for one simple reason https://twitter.com/OpenStyleLab/status/1386773704852508681

2/ That reason is lack of choice. It looks like this only works with deodorants specifically made to fit this device. If I want to use it with a fragrance only available as a "regular" deodorant, I'm out of luck.

3/ I'd be stuck with whatever options Unilever makes for the adaptive line, forget about if I prefer a deodorant from another brand. If it was just an attachment that could work with most deodorant designs, I'd buy this tomorrow.

4/ Don't get me wrong, I love the work @Unilever is doing in accessibility and inclusive design. And if the choice is using this or nothing, of course I'd go for this. I DON'T think this is a #disabilitydongle.

5/ But in its current form, I think I'm just going to stick to bending awkwardly to apply my roll on deodorant. We, the people with disabilities, are after all the original life hackers. We figure a way out.

6/ I'll share a secret sauce @richdonovannyc hammered into me early on - people with disabilities don't always want "special" products. We just want the regular, everyday products to be accessible.
