It's one of life's little frustrations; clean laundry that slips off the hangers. Silk shirts, polyester slips, spaghetti-strap lingerie and delicate robes can all wind up on the floor of the closet. If you're inclined to high blood pressure or headaches, you can maintain your poise by replacing your current, slippery clothes hangers with hangers especially deigned to prevent clothes from sliding off.

------------------------
Non-slip hangers are made so by the combination of a sturdy, well-made frame and
a covering that provides a friction-based holding system. In the past, non-slip
hangers were made with rubber coverings, but rubber tends to break down over
time and may mar clothes. Today’s non-slip solutions include foam coverings or
an epoxy applied to metal hangers.
Non-slip hangers remove the irritation of having clothes fall off the hangers,
becoming mussed or dirty at the floor of the closet. While for many people, this
daily occurrence is a minor annoyance, for people in wheelchair or for elderly
people, picking up clothes can add to the danger in the home. Bending over to
pick up fallen clothes may cause dizziness: reaching to the back of a closet for
missing clothing can result in falls or muscle strains. With falls ranking as
the highest source of injury among the elderly, replacing smooth, slippery
hangers with non-slip ones can result in increased safety for older, disabled or
frail people.
Hangers may be covered completely from the neck down in non-slip material, or
they may be non-slip in particular areas of the hanger. Pants hangers may have
non-slip foam over the central bar, but the shoulders may remain smooth as
regular hangers. Shirt hangers will have non-slip fabric on the slope of the
shoulders, but no on the underside where it is not needed.
