Abstract
A flexible container holder or grasping aid is disclosed that will aid an infant or an invalid in grasping a fluid container. The flexible container holder is a one-piece item with two opposed handle portions and an intermediate central portion for tightly receiving a fluid container. The intermediate central portion is flexible and will deform to accommodate any profile of fluid container. The device is formed of a tough rubber and thus will not be easily destroyed by an infant. The handle portions are of a relatively great thickness compared to the intermediate central portion. This allows the intermediate central portion to be easily deformable while the handle portions will still provide firm support for the fluid container.
