I take meds four times a day. Including vitamins and supplements, three of those times takes considerable space. This organizer holds them with some space left over - which, of course, is the idea so they don't fly out when you open the compartment.
Every one of the twenty-eight lids still snaps shut securely after a year of use. Filling the compartments is like other systems; difficult to hold the lid up and put pills in at the same time. I've found an easy solution to fill this one. I hold all four lids open in the center with a rubber band stretched around the upper edges of them (but make sure the rubber band is large enough to not add "twist" to the lids by being too tight).
If mine broke tomorrow, I would simply order another without even looking for anything else. It just works that well.
These are super easy for carrying around. The tray holds all seven, so in the morning I can just grab the one for that day and toss it my purse without having to carry around a massive amount of pills. And still having all 4 sets with me and separated makes it a lot easier when I am out all day and have to take 2-3 sets of pills away from home.
It would be great however if they made a set like these only with 6 instead of 4 compartments (I know this company also makes ones with only 2 compartments for those who take pills less often.) My grandmother has Parkinson's Disease and has to take pills 6 times a day, and I know there are many other people who need to take there medications more than 4 times a day, and there just are not enough (any!) options for those people.
I will say, one other downside is an issue others commented on, the lids do not open all the way making it a little difficult to fill and empty, as well, they are slightly difficult to open.
When I first reviewed this product right after receiving it, the flip lids looked flimsy to me, and I was not sure how long lasting they would be. Well, it's been several months since I bought these, and I have had no problems with any breaking. My only problem has been that I lost the Thursday box, so now I'm back to buy a new set.
I grab today's pill box, slip it in my pocket, and I'm off for the day. I have found that the lids fold all the way back and stays open for use any time of the day. They fasten securely so my arthritic fingers can get them open, and they are some what water resistant to the coffee others will spill . If you can find a better one let me know. I've found them in the deep size and the not so deep size. They are pretty much the same. BTW, They made great stocking stuffers for the holidays.
Good Pill Sucking
John in ABQ New Mexico
Says it's the greatest I have ever gotten for him (thru Amazon in Oct, 2011). Our 14 yr old
daughter was showing HER friend his containers and said 'he just picks up todays box of pills,
sticks it in his pocket and he's gone! it's great!'. It makes it easier for him not to miss
his pills throughout the day. I would highly recommend it.
I have a 41 yr. old mentally challenged son - head trauma resulting in brain damage and multiple VP shunt revisions. As part of his cognitive behavioral therapy he was supposed to start filling his pill organizer for himself and become responsible for taking his medications regularly. Previously I had purchased two 1 week/2 week organizers, which worked well for my medications, but soon became problematic for my son's medications.
As his medications were increased and changed we were having more and more trouble fitting them into the organizer. Several of his meds are large pills and one of them is in capsule form. I could fit them into the organizer if I arranged them in a specific order, but he could not. The capsules would crack when he closed the lids, so I was the person who had to fill it each week. Also it only had two sections for each day, morning and evening.
Then I found three organizers here on amazon.com. I read all the reviews on each and decided to purchase this one. One of the best decisions I have ever made!
My son now fills his organizers himself each week. Each compartment is large and deep so no more breaking capsules or having to arrange the meds just so. There are 4 compartments for each day, so if the doctors decide he needs to take a medication three or four times a day there is a place for them. The days of the week are clearly marked on each compartment.
While I still have to watch and re-order his meds for him, I only have to check the organizer now and then to make sure he is putting the right pills and correct number of pills in the compartments. And I do still have to remind him to take his meds now and then. Eventually I hope he will be able to re-order for himself and will consistently remember to take his meds, but for now this is a big step.
The compartments shut tightly so no more accidental popping open and spilling. :) Also if he is going to be away from home for a few hours he can take one day's dose with him in his pocket. Then all he has to do is remember to take it at the scheduled time. :/ We'll see how that goes. ;)
For the self esteem and independence he has gotten and for the one less responsibility I now have this pill organizer is priceless. I would recommend it to anyone. It is worth every penny we spent and so much more. :)
I recommend it for others, though.
Initially, a two-compartment-per-day organizer was shipped in error. The appearance is identical when wrapped. I am dissatisfied that Amazon provided no means to designate the return as their error and simply exchange the correct product for the wrong one. Amazon paid for the return, but left me to re-order and pay for shipping of the correct item on my own. I hope Amazon is not becoming "iffy."
Other than that, great product. Good quality, perfectly sized compartment for vitamins (big enough to take Omega pills and the like).
These are it. It's deep enough to hold all my medication while still being compact enough to carry around. Unlike the rectangular ones, the square is perfect for tucking away into small spaces.
The only downside is the lid doesn't flip back all the way when you open them, but I haven't had any trouble with the lids not shutting properly or popping open.
to sort large quantities of pills.
Good size...holds a lot.
If you take a lot of meds/supplements and are on the go, this set is perfect.
