What is the Best Mug Handle for Arthritis?
2-Fingers-Through-The-Loop Grip
Momnt
The counterbalance handle gives you better leverage so it never slips and gets hot against your knuckles. The bottom part is also wider and contoured to spread out the weight against your ring finger, preventing pain points.
Notably, this handle requires more ring finger strength than some of the other options on this list, so it may not be as good of an option for severe arthritis. But for moderate cases, it can be a great option.
Hand-Through-The-Handle Grip
CURVD
CURVD Mugs have a very wide gap between the handle and the mug body, making them a good option if you prefer a full-hand-grip by sliding your hand through the handle. It's also a very wide handle, which helps spread out the weight against your hand and fingers if you hold it more traditionally by gripping the handle itself.
"Its ergonomic structure distributes the weight of the beverage evenly, significantly reducing strain on joints and muscles. This thoughtful design makes it an ideal choice for older individuals or anyone with limited mobility, ensuring a more comfortable and accessible coffee-drinking experience."
Thumb-on-Top Grip
notNeutral
notNeutral mugs feature a handle that lets your thumb give you more control. It was designed primarily for baristas, but the flush handle may provide better control for those with arthritis too.
"The interior curvature of each cup is optimized for latte art and thermal insulation, and the handle, flush with the rim of the cup, ensures comfort and control for barista and drinker alike."
Full-Hand Grip
Handwarmer
This mug's handle is built into the mug, literally. It looks fantastic and can give you a good, solid grip with all four fingers. However, it may not be the best choice if you have heat sensitivities, and cleaning it can be more of a challenge.
"Convenient hand warmer nestled into a glove-like shape to keep hands toasty."
Two-Handed Grip
HealthGoodsIn
Mugs with two handles can give a much more stable, secure grip, particularly for anyone with more severe arthritis.
"Our dual handle mug is designed to aid the elderly and people with trembling hands to have a better grip when drinking anything. It is an ideal product for people with tremors, arthritis and other health conditions due to which their grip and control become compromised."
Mug with Rotating Handle
HandSteady
This is the only mug on this lids that features a rotating handle, which helps prevent spills. It also has a very wide, full-hand grip which can give better control.
"Rotatable Handle™ keeps cup level and steady, and makes it tilting to drink easier."
Hand-Through-Mug Grip
Rehabilitation Advantage
Similar to the handwarmer mug but places your hand even closer to the center of the mug, which can help give better balance and control. Notably it is NOT insulated, so unless you have a high heat tolearance, this mug should only be used with cold drinks like cold brew coffee or tea.
"Features a hand slot inside of the mug for easy handling; user is able to grip on to this mug more efficiently by simply sliding their hand inside."
Did we miss any?
Was Momnt Mug designed for arthritis?
Honestly, no. We just designed the handle this way because it was by far the most comfortable, easy to hold handle we tested for a two-finger-through-the-loop grip style.
But when we began selling at markets and online, we quickly began hearing from people with arthritis, shaky hands, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and a range of other hand conditions who said our handle helped them have a more steady, secure grip.
We've provided links to some of the other options because we know our mug won't be a perfect fit for everyone, but hopefully one of these mugs will get good for your situation.or your situation!
