A women who became disabled after complications during pregnancy caused her to have a stroke has created clip-on pants after putting hers on became impossible.
Funmi Lawal's bleed on her brain left her life in danger and the long road to recovery had plenty of bumps.
Even after her recuperation, the mum-of-two struggled with every day tasks.
She has opened up about her struggle to put on her underwear every morning - and why she needed to do something about it to recover her independence.
The Londoners has told her story as she marks 20 years since the day her life changed forever and told why she decided to help others faced with a similar situation.
She turned the embarrassing problem into a thriving business.
Setting her firm up 'on a whim' in 2018 after losing both her parents within a year, she said she no money to get it off the ground.
But that didn't stop her from thinking big.
She told Metro.co.uk of her desire to change the conversation - and to prove to herself that she could put her brain to good use.
"Putting on underwear felt like a battle every single day - I’d done it for years without thinking twice, but now it was exhausting, humiliating, and I saw a chance to help people with limited mobility," she explained.
"After research online for help brought up no results for any accessible underwear, I was distraught and angry, how come there were no suitable options for disabled people like me?"
She added: "Clip Knix took a year to develop, and a year to produce prototypes that I was happy with and now we trade in the US and Australia with a presence on six marketplaces on Amazon including in the Middle East."
Funmi says being able to maintain independence is one of her main achievements over the past few years.
She says the business has already helped improve her mental health.
