FAQs

What is a stabilizing sleeve?

A stabilizing sleeve is a removable sleeve that grips a drink container and improves stability—often by increasing contact with the surface and making a tip-over less likely.

Is a stabilizing sleeve just a koozie?

No. Koozies primarily insulate. A stabilizing sleeve primarily improves stability. Some products may do both, but the intent is different.

What should I look for?

Look for stable surface contact, a secure grip on the container, and a design that works on uneven surfaces (cushions, carpet) without relying on suction or adhesives.
