Hi, it’s David from Life with Parkinson’s.
If you’re new here—welcome! And to everyone who keeps returning to read, thank you for your continued love and support.
Today, I want to share something special—a review of a product that truly made a difference for me: MagnaReady, clothing designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s and disabilities.
Before I dive in, I want to say a heartfelt thank-you to everyone at MagnaReady for making this review possible. They were kind enough to share a few samples with me so I could test them out and share my honest reaction with you here.
When Clothing Gives You Your Dignity Back
Isn’t it nice when someone just solves a problem for us?
Someone figures out how to make something as simple as getting dressed a little easier—and, in doing so, gives us back a piece of our independence and dignity. That’s exactly what MagnaReady does.
For those of us who experience off periods, tremors, or stiffness, buttoning up a shirt can feel impossible some days. But MagnaReady’s magnetic clothing changes that. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about confidence. It’s about being able to dress yourself again, even when your body doesn’t want to cooperate.
That’s the MagnaReady advantage.
A Closer Look: My MagnaReady Shirt
What I’m wearing today is one of their flannel shirts. When I first opened the package, my initial reaction was: Wow.
The quality stood out immediately. The stitching, the fabric—it’s built like something I’d call a “forever shirt.” Everything about it feels solid and thoughtfully made.
And those magnetic closures? They’re amazing.
When the magnets snap together, they line up perfectly every time—no sliding, no misalignment. You can’t even tell they’re magnetic at first glance; there are no button slits, no signs that it’s anything other than a classic shirt.
The pocket even has a magnetic closure that works beautifully. It’s warm, comfortable, and stylish. I’ve worn it around the house and layered it for going out, and every time someone sees me in it, they tell me, “Dave, you look really good in blue.”
Well, blue has always been one of my favorite colors, so I think MagnaReady nailed it with this one.
Why This Matters to Me Personally
What I really appreciate about MagnaReady is that they don’t just make one type of clothing. They have a full line—from everyday casual wear to dress shirts and more formal pieces.
That means I can look and feel good for any occasion—including a very special one coming up: my daughter’s wedding next April.
Like many people with Parkinson’s, I sometimes get anxious about public situations—especially when I worry about getting to the bathroom quickly. The idea of fumbling with buttons or struggling with clothing adds another layer of stress.
So knowing I’ll have something I can snap open or closed easily, without damaging it, makes me feel calmer and more confident. It might seem small, but when you live with Parkinson’s, that kind of reassurance is a big deal.
The Heart Behind the Brand
Another thing that really moved me about MagnaReady is their story.
If you visit the “About Us” section of their website, you’ll find something truly heartwarming. The founder of the company created the very first MagnaReady shirts for her husband, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s at an early age.
He was a college football coach, and one day at an away game, he had an off period. He couldn’t button his shirt and got stuck in the locker room, unable to finish dressing himself until someone helped.
That moment inspired his wife to take action—to find a solution not just for him, but for others like us.
And that’s how MagnaReady was born.
It’s a story full of love, ingenuity, and compassion—proof that small ideas born out of care can change lives.
A Clothing Line That Works for Everyone
What’s great about MagnaReady’s clothing is that it doesn’t look like adaptive clothing. It’s stylish, practical, and discreet.
I don’t feel like I’m wearing something “medical.” I feel like I’m wearing something that fits who I am—a person who still wants to look good, move with ease, and feel like myself.
And honestly, that’s a wonderful feeling.
I also think MagnaReady can make life easier for caregivers. Seeing your loved one regain independence in dressing themselves—watching that spark of confidence return—can be incredibly moving.
In a way, every time I put on one of these shirts and fasten it without struggle, it feels like a small victory. Like I’ve won a tiny battle against Parkinson’s.
