Stays in bed.
They stay in bed the whole time: the shorts open flat underneath, so there's no need to lift or hoist them out of it.
One simple move.
Open it flat, slide it under, roll them once, close both sides. That's the whole routine.
Easier than jeans.
No lifting their hips off the bed, no tugging fabric up their legs, no special equipment.
Looks like regular shorts.
No hospital gown silhouette. No visible medical hardware. They read as ordinary clothing, not a medical garment.
How to use
Three steps, done in bed.
Step 01
Open the shorts flat.
Unfasten both side closures so the shorts lie completely open on the bed beneath your loved one.
Step 02
Roll them and slide it under.
Gently roll them onto one side, slide the shorts underneath, then roll them back. The shorts are now in place.
Step 03
Close and done.
Fasten both sides from hem to waist and they're dressed, entirely in bed, in one position.

Product benefits
4 reasons it works
Why it's easier
than putting on jeans.
Opens flat. Dresses easier.
Daily Dons opens completely flat, so the garment does not have to be forced over the hips or threaded up the legs. Open, place, roll once, close.
Soft against skin. Flat against the body.
Smooth 88% nylon / 12% elastane fabric. No buttons, zippers, or rigid hardware along the back or sides. The closure lies flat against the skin, designed for someone who spends long hours sitting or lying down.
Built to move with the body.
The smooth, stretchy fabric is designed to glide easily during rolling and dressing, without bunching or pulling while it's put on.
Easier checks. Less full undressing.
The open-flat design gives caregivers access when they need it, without turning every clothing adjustment into a full dressing routine.
FAQ
Questions
answered.
The Daily Short is designed for anyone coming home after surgery, joint replacement, stroke, or extended rehab who cannot safely sit up or stand to dress. It's especially useful for hip and knee replacement patients, spinal surgery patients, and anyone following strict positional precautions post-discharge.
Most adaptive clothing designs still ask the person to sit up, stand, or lift their hips at some point in the process. The Daily Short was designed first and specifically for supine dressing: the front opens completely flat and the shorts go on with a single log roll, so the person never has to sit up, stand, or lift their hips.
Yes. The Daily Short uses the same log-roll technique caregivers are taught in rehab settings, and one person can perform it. Our step-by-step guide and video walk you through it.
Like a normal pair of shorts. The closures are discreet and the overall silhouette is clean. Recovery clothing should look like regular clothing. No one should have to trade how they look for how they dress.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If The Daily Short isn't the right fit, whether that's size, fit, or functionality, return it for a full refund. No questions, no hassle.
Daily Dons is currently available for pre-order. Orders placed by August 3 ship by August 31, 2026. Orders placed after August 3 ship within 4 to 6 weeks. We'll email you tracking information the moment it ships.
Yes. The Daily Short is machine washable. We recommend cold water and low heat to extend the life of the closures, but it's built to handle regular home laundry.
Most caregivers start with one pair to try the mechanism, then move to a 2-pack or 3-pack once it's part of the daily routine, so there's always a clean pair ready between washes.
Why it's different
How Daily Dons compares
to the alternatives.
Developed inside an actual skilled nursing facility
Designed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy
Made to dress someone while they stay lying down
Slides into place with a single roll
Easier to put on than jeans, they stay flat the whole time
The founder
Built by someone who
watched it go wrong
every morning.
I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I spent years working in nursing homes and rehab centers, and the pattern was always the same: families fighting regular shorts to dress a body that could no longer move that way, through hip pain, stroke recovery, dementia, wheelchairs, and the bathroom moments no one wants to talk about. I kept waiting for someone to build the right garment. No one did, so I built Daily Dons.

You shouldn't have to wrestle them just to put on pants.
