    you can either put a spoon handle under the rim it sometimes works if you run warm water over the top

    My occupational therapist gave me 3 thin blue rubbery strips that stick to anything. I sit the jar on one piece to stop it slipping, long rectangle piece goes round the middle of jar to help grip and finally last piece goes over lid for opening. I have gone fron not being able to open anything to being able to open everything! They're amazing! Also just have to wash in soapy water to retain stickinesss. Hope this helps.
