@the_tweedy: People are already so weird about disability done the "normal" way, it's rarely worth improvising unexpected solutions to barriers in public. Just know that disabled folks often enjoy greater functionality at home or with friends and family who aren't going to make it weird or film us without our consent. EDIT: I love the brainstorming, but I didn't have a ton of time to devote to this and was just looking around the house for options shortly before heading out. Yes, the straps are falling down. No, I didn't try to fix them because I had already decided I didn't want to deal with the social implications of showing up dressed as groceries. But I'm definitely getting a lot of ideas from the comments for future beach... bags...? (The name needs work.) #amputee #disability #beachbody #creativesolutions #themoreyouknow
Okay but hear me out. This is a prime Halloween opportunity to either be coming out of a magician’s hat or Mary Poppin’s bag.

I love that your cat was confused about why you were in the bag 😂 and then when you gave kitty its own bag but of course kitty still preferred the one you were using 🤣🥰

I guess for the "socially acceptable" part, it could be possible to sew an overall with the legs closed up?

Don’t forget the bottom will wear out. So make sure it’s something sturdy. this is very clever thinking. 😁

maaaan... screw what random people think. reinforce the bottom and rig up some suspenders for that thing cause you don't gotta suffer through a beach trip with sand up yer butt just cause people can't mind their business. if they're standing on the edge of the ocean with all of nature's majesty laid out before them and they choose to focus on a guy with no legs just living his life then THEY probably should have just stayed home.

thinking out loud i am no professional nor do i know anything about your situation: its essentially a set of waders. likely you could modify some waders and then have wet/dry protection. you could keep some or none of the leg portions. and then you would get better adjustable straps with padding built in.

you could probably take some binder clips and clip the straps to your shirt

Ok, you need a cross body strap to hold the handles on your shoulders. Like on backpacks for long hikes. You're on to something

Use a chip clip or safety pin to secure the handles together in front so you can easily remove so you don’t get tan lines.;)

it needs a strap in the back to hold the two handlestraps on your shoulders! 😀

ok but IKEA bags!? cute AND functional and definitely not a grocery vibe 🖤 (they have all sorts of fun colours and designs outside of the standard blue) plus waterproof!

you left the bag at home even after your cat gave it the stamp of approval? it doesn't matter if it's socially acceptable for humans as long as it's socially acceptable for kitties!
