Professional guidance helps The switch itself is simple to plug in, but whether someone can use sip and puff reliably, and where to place it, are things a therapist can sort out far faster than trial and error. It's also only one piece of a larger setup, since it needs devices to control. That is why professional guidance is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The 36" Easy Flex Sip and Puff Switch lets someone run two devices with their breath: sipping through the straw triggers one, and puffing triggers the other. It sits at the end of a 36-inch flexible stem, so it can be positioned near the mouth without needing hand use. It's meant for people with limited mobility who need a mouth-operated way to join in play, games, and other switch-activated activities. This is only the switch, so you'll need switch-accessible devices to plug into, and anti-contamination filters and extra straws are sold separately.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the switch's cable into a switch-accessible device or a switch interface, then try a sip and a puff to see which device each one triggers.
  • With a guide
    1. Position the flexible stem so the straw sits comfortably at the user's mouth without tiring their neck or posture.
    2. Fit a new filter and straw for each user, and plan on clearing and replacing them regularly for hygiene.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help confirm that breath control is a reliable access method, choose the best mounting position, and match the sip and puff actions to the right devices. Plan on one session of about an hour. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
