TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a stretchable material that attaches to a zipper and a stationary point. Once the stretchable material is attached to the zipper it operates to zip and unzip the zipper based on pressure that is placed on the stretchable material. BACKGROUND [0002] Zippers are a common product in today's society. For years they have been a part of most every pair of pants. As fashions continue to change we are seeing even more zippers in the clothing market. For example, you find a lot of sweaters with zippers these days. [0003] Zippers are not always that easy for people to operate. For example, as the average age of today's society continues to rise, the number of people who are unable to operate zippers because of arthritis or other diseases increases. This is very problematic to older individual since most pants contain zippers. Going to the restroom is a common everyday occurrence that most of us take for granted. However, if zipping and unzipping your pants is a painful experience due to arthritis or some other disease, you will avoid this experience as long as possible, thereby producing the potential for other medical problems. Broken fingers, wrists and arms are also make it difficult to operate zippers. [0004] In addition, young children have problems operating zippers. Small children learning to potty train have a very hard time getting their pants up and down. When you add zippers into that scenario the problem increases. Children strive for independence and especially once they are potty trained. Being able to operate the zipper on their pants is a part of the process. [0005] Let's not forget those individuals who simply forget to zip their pants up when they put their pants on or when they are done going to the restroom. Additionally, there are those zippers that just simply will not stay zipped no matter how many times you zip them. [0006] Zippers are easier to operate than a lot of the alternatives though. For example, trying to button and unbutton your pants is much harder than trying to zip and unzip your pants. Snap would certainly have their own set of problems as well. [0007] Therefore, zippers are here to stay at least for some time. Alternatives, to help individuals with zipping and unzipping or keeping something zipped is what the present invention involves.
