QVC features a wide range of accessible and adaptable items in home, beauty, fashion, electronics, and more at great prices, which you can now easily browse through its Adaptive & Accessible storefront. Not only are these products innovative, but they’re also beautifully designed so everyone feels included.
Recently, the video commerce retailer tapped Selma Blair as its first-ever Brand Ambassador for Accessibility. The actress and advocate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, altering the way she lives her life. Through her own journey to find accessible products she loves, Blair has become an accessibility champion, bringing attention to the importance of products that can make life easier and more enjoyable for people living with disabilities, as well as those who are recovering from surgery or just getting older. “Not for a second should we ever think people with disabilities are different at heart,” says Blair.
QVC agrees. And with that in mind, check out this showcase of products that follow the usability-plus-great-design formula:
Calista StyleDryer Pro Volumizing Blowout Brush w/ Attachments ($69 at QVC)
The Calista StyleDryer incorporates a blow dryer and brush into one tool so you can achieve a perfect blowout with one hand. It has a nice wide base to make gripping it easier, and each brush clicks into the device rather than requiring you to twist it. This tool is especially great if you get tired easily because it gets the job done in half the amount of time it takes a regular blow dryer. And bonus — it comes in two colors exclusive to QVC, blue agave and peach blossom.
Vionic Vio-Flex Slip-On Sneakers - Captivate ($109.98 - $149.95 at QVC)
Many people with mobility issues require adaptive footwear. Whether it’s a condition such as Parkinson’s disease or diabetes — which affects the lower limbs — or arthritis, which causes upper mobility problems and makes it hard to tie laces, adaptive footwear is essential. Quality adaptive shoes like these Vionic Vio-Flex Slip-On Sneakers feature pull-on tabs, a comfortable and supportive footbed and sturdy soles with good traction. And they look great. Who said podiatrist-designed shoes have to be ugly?
Denim & Co. Adaptive Comfy Knit Slim Ankle Wheelchair Pant ($71 at QVC)
Pulling on pants, fastening buttons or tying drawstrings can be difficult for anyone who uses a wheelchair or who has a degenerative disease. These pants from Denim & Co. Adaptive ensure ease of dressing. They have a seated fit with metal buttons at the leg hem to adjust the closure, an elastic folded waistband with pull-up loops, limited back seams to reduce pressure points while seated, and a functional, longer zipper pull. Made from comfortable knit denim, these pants are available in nine sizes and come in three different colors, which allow anyone to express their personal style.
Lexie B2 Rechargeable Hearing Aids Powered By Bose ($999 at QVC)
These Lexie hearing aids powered by Bose provide the best quality sound and innovation for those with hearing impairment. Made for those 18 and up who have mild to moderate hearing loss or impairment, they’re comfortable enough to wear up to eight hours a day and are very discreet. They come in two different domes in three different sizes, fitting a wide variety of ears. The battery is rechargeable and there are hundreds of self-tuning options available. Plus, the Lexie app offers virtual assistance to troubleshoot any issues.
Dynamo Cyclone Cane with CrossBow Balance Technology ($46 at QVC)
Whether for a short stint or the long term, those that need to use a cane will appreciate the Cyclone Cane with CrossBow Balance Technology from Dynamo. Its height is adjustable for people from 4'6" to 6'4", and it has a 12-degree CrossBow bend to help distribute weight evenly. With good traction on the bottom and a wide, easy-to-grip handle, this all-weather, all-terrain cane is the assistance you’re looking for. It comes in three colors: always-chic black, eye-catching blue, and sunset orange (which is exclusive to QVC).
Scrubzz 50 Disposable No-Rinse Travel and Bathing Sponge Wipes ($21.74 at QVC)
The Scrubzz 50 Disposable No-Rinse Travel and Bathing Sponge Wipes are an excellent way to retain independence between showers or baths if you need assistance with bathing. (They’re also great for travel, especially if you find yourself in a non-accessible space.) The cloths just need a little water to create a soapy lather for your hair, face or body. And you can just toss them after use.
Ring Stick-Up Camera with Extra Quick Release Battery & Ring Assist+ ($129.98 at QVC)
Are you a caregiver to an elderly parent or an adult child with a developmental disability, who you’d like to allow some independence but still be able to help from afar if needed? The Ring Stick-Up Camera with Extra Quick Release Battery & Ring Assist+ could be just what you need. It’s easy to set up and can be used inside or outside to see who’s coming and going, and can also be used to monitor a particular situation — say, your loved one getting in and out of bed. The audio is two-way, so if someone needs assistance, you can communicate with them directly. The app is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows devices.
Atomi Smart Wi-Fi LED Pathway Lights Set of 4 Starter Kit ($199.99 at QVC)
A path to your front door, garage or patio might present challenges at night if you are visually impaired or use a wheelchair or other mobility device. This set of smart Wi-Fi-enabled lights can illuminate a walkway or driveway to guide you properly and prevent accidents. The kit includes four lights and all the necessary chargers and cables to operate it. It connects with the Atomi app, where you can program the lights to change colors, schedule on and off times and more. Slim and sleek, they instantly upgrade your home while solving a real problem.
Google Nest Hub Max Smart Display with Google Assistant ($189 at QVC)
The Google Nest Hub Max Smart Display with Google Assistant can help those with accessibility needs by programming an entire home with shortcuts. Voice commands can do everything from control appliances (“Hey Google, turn on my coffee maker”) to give a summary of your day (“Hey Google, what’s on my calendar for today?”). It can even be programmed to execute a full routine such as bedtime, where alarms can be set, lights can be turned off and doors can be locked just by saying “Hey Google, bedtime.” This can help those with mobility issues, visual needs and more. The device is 10 inches diagonal, with an easy-to-use touchscreen display, Wi-Fi integration and Bluetooth technology.
EV Rider CityCruzer 4-Wheel Mobility Scooter ($1,960 at QVC)

It’s powered by 24 volts from two 12V rechargeable batteries, and its four-wheel suspension offers an effortless ride, topping out at four miles per hour. It can support up to 285 pounds. While it does weigh 117 pounds overall, it comes apart in five pieces for easy transportation and storage. The EV Rider CityCruzer 4-Wheel Mobility Scooter comes with a three-year frame limited manufacturer’s warranty and a one-year electronics warranty.
