The Magnetic Button will be Especially Useful for the Millions of Americans who Live with a Physical Disability like Arthritis
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2016 / David and Michael Puglia, a pair of brothers who grew up in New York, are pleased to announce the launch of The Magnetic Button. As David noted, the innovative and clever button will revolutionize the way people get dressed and undressed.

As David explained, he has first-hand knowledge about how a physical disability can make it difficult to get dressed. After falling ill about 17 years ago, he had to have a serious operation. Ever since then, David has had a numbness in his hands that makes it hard for him to do everyday tasks many people take for granted—including buttoning his shirts.
While David's wife would usually help him with this task, the day came when David had to go out of town for business, and his wife wasn't with him. Although he woke up three hours early to try to get dressed on time, he found that the top four buttons were all but impossible to get fastened. After feeling defeated and frustrated, David turned these feelings into determination and decided to invent something that would help him and others like him to button their own shirts.
"When I returned home, I grabbed an old tie tack, some glue, and I created my very first magnetic button," David said, adding that he then told his brother Michael his idea, and together they have been working on perfecting The Magnetic Button for the past few years.
"We wanted to be sure it worked properly and that it replicated the appearance of a real button with the assistance of a magnetic snap. Now, our prototype is ready and we want to share it with everyone."
To help pay for the production costs that are associated with The Magnetic Button, the Puglia brothers recently launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter. They hope to raise $20,000 through crowdfunding, and most importantly, to help people who struggle with getting dressed to feel confident and more independent.
"We want anyone and everyone who may have a disability, some trouble with their hands, or just needs a little help now and then, to take back their independence just like I have," David said.
About The Magnetic Button:
The Magnetic Button's main strength is its simplicity. Instead of requiring customers to buy new shirts or deal with complicated modifications, these Magnetic Buttons simply slide over the buttons on shirts that customers already own, making sure that personal style is never sacrificed in the name of comfort and accessibility.
