A flexible grip, the right materials and a reusable and environmentally friendly molded, injected, sprayed, layered or painted coating an ultimately consumer friendly apparatus, having memory, absorbency and low cost can be offered for consideration. According to a preferred embodiment, FLEX GRIP.RTM. apparatus, system and method functions with articles including any and all beverage containers to mitigate and/or preclude undesired transmission of liquids by selectively absorbing the same in an open celled medium bordered by a waterproofed layer. In a particularly preferred embodiment dimensional sizing is featured to fixingly and matingly engage, and completely cover a bottom-portion and selected side portions of, for example, a pint glass. Likewise, environmentally-friendly aspects include use of recyclables, saving on wasted paper, and use for example, of old wetsuit material to make an industrially and economically efficient means for preventing drippage, condensate leakage, and packing issues involving impact breakage of glassware.

1. A device to mitigate dripping from a vessel, said device comprising: a single strip of elastic deformable absorbing material shaped as a low profile round cup; said cup having inner and outer surfaces defining a substantially flat bottom portion continuous with sides extending therefrom, and being elastically deformable to snugly engage the contours of the vessel. 2. The device recited in claim 1, wherein the strip of material is constructed of two pieces of identical material bonded together by glue. 3. The device recited in claim 1, wherein the strip of material is neoprene. 4. A device to mitigate dripping from a vessel, said device comprising: a cup shaped unitary strip of absorbent material having an open upper end, a closed lower end and cylindrical side walls disposed between the ends; whereby the device is undersized slightly relative to the vessel, and capable of being stretched to fit around and snugly engage the contours of the vessel without exceeding the plastic limit of the device. 5. The device recited in claim 4, wherein the strip is constructed of two pieces of identical material bonded together. 6. The device recited in claim 4, wherein the strip of material is recyclable. 7. The device of claim 4, wherein the strip comprises two different types of material. 8. An article of manufacture, comprising, in combination: a low profile cup shaped coaster means for deformably conforming to the contours of a vessel, made up of a single strip; the means stretches from a first unconformed position to a second conformed position when placed on the bottom of the vessel; whereby said means further comprises inner and outer surfaces defining a substantially flat bottom portion connected to side walls extending therefrom; and, whereby the vessel is maintained in substantially orthogonal relationship to a planar surface upon which it rests, when said article is in the second conformed position on the bottom of said vessel.
