FAQ

ZipperBuddy MagZip is an easy-to-use zipper assist designed to help you close your jacket with one hand. It uses a magnetic connection to guide and secure the zipper, making dressing simpler and more independent.

ZipperBuddy is designed for anyone who struggles with traditional zippers, including:

• Stroke survivors regaining independence
• People with arthritis or limited hand mobility
• Caregivers supporting loved ones
• Kids learning to dress on their own

Installation is quick and requires no sewing or modifications:

1. Lay your jacket flat and unzipped
2. Place ZipperBuddy in the center
3. Zip each side of ZipperBuddy into your jacket

That's it — your jacket is now upgraded.

1. Pull the zipper tab down to the magnetic base
2. Bring the two magnetic ends together — they'll click into place
3. You'll feel the click, then zip up!

The magnets help guide the zipper, so you don't need to align it manually.

No. ZipperBuddy attaches directly to your existing zipper — no sewing, tools, or permanent changes required.
