Equate Weekly 7 Day Pill Planner, Large Pill Organizer – Assorted Colors

Opening this large-size holder is a nice improvement over smaller versions. It has little levers you easily press to open each compartment, which is better than wrestling with tiny edges when your hands hurt. The large compartments make it easy to add pills and take them out. The days of the week are only embossed, not brightly printed, so can make it difficult to see which day to open. The plastic is clear enough to see through which next compartment has the pills, but may be challenging for those with poor vision. This might not be good for traveling with the large size and the levers that could open in a travel bag. It's great for everyday home use and easily washable.

As with many seniors, my husband and I take quite a few prescription pills and also OTC supplements daily. We each daily use three 7 day containers. I have always had pet peeves with these containers. First, they tend not to stay all the way open while I’m filling them. I find this very aggravating as it makes filling them slower. Second, I invariably accidentally put several pills in a compartment rather than one, and small compartments, combined with large fingers make it difficult to take the extra pill out. This pill planner solves both problems. The lids stay wide open (see photo) and the generous compartment size makes it much easier to correct mistakes while filling them. I’m going to be looking for five more of these very nice containers, I hope I can find them in different colors, preferably pink for me, and blue for hubby.
