Customer Reviews of Long Reach Comfort Wipe
Customer Review: Long Reach Comfort Wipe
Summary: 5 Stars
Originally written about "Easywipe" (same tool on Amazon) about a month or so ago.
(Folks, please trust me when I tell you that I understand the "uncomfortableness" of this topic but, it is sometimes a necessary evil. SO,)
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a very, very useful, and sometimes necessary, aid for the continued self help (respect) of people who, for whatever reason, have great difficulty in cleaning themselves after using the toilet.
I currently weigh 500lbs and my arm is no longer long enough to reach where it is sometimes needed, I have tried several "aids" and this is the best by far. Both the handle and the paper ends are covered with what seems to be a type of gripping rubber (I do not know if it is latex on not, sorry). This rubber material allows for a secure hand hold as well as a non-slip surface for the paper. The tool is of sufficient width as to give good coverage which may prevent some of the need for multiple attempts. The length is definitely adequate for people in my situation. The tool is curved so that it seems to "fit" the angles needed for the most comfortable use and positioning. DO NOT try to use this tool from the side, only the front (please read the provided instruction paper).
I have noted a slight difficulty--it takes a little practice in getting the paper into the slot provided, I use my finger turned so that the thinner portion is used to insert the paper ends, this seems to work best for me. All you need to do is be a little patient and figure it out for yourself. You also need to be careful and hold the handle and not the "button" that is used to release the paper as it doesn't seem sturdy enough to take any sideways pressure.
The shape, holding ability of the rubber, width, and length make this a very good, comfortable, and easy tool to use.
I highly recommend this item for its intended use. Especially for my large friends. Take care.
UPDATE: 1/21/2010
I have read the other reviews and I must disagree. The tool I received seems to be rather well made and sturdy, that said--I want to update so that others may make a well informed choice. My previous review is (in my opinion) correct but, I have located some possible difficulties if someone isn't prepared for them:
1. Follow the directions for paper placement and use--the problem (this sounds like the problem the lady complaining obout being messy may be having) is that it can be interesting unwrapping the paper after use. Patience and trial and error got me past this quickly. Wrap the paper around the head and continue down the handle far enough to avoid getting the end of the paper messy, this will allow you to be able to unwrap much more simply.
2. The tool is alittle wide for anything other than a general wipe--this leads to the need for multiple wipes, (alittle bit of a hassle, no more than that)--the way I deal with this is to use paper until it comes out without excessive waste on it, I then switch to a washcloth I have specified for this use that I have soaked in warm water, the washcloth is then used with the wipe tool to complete the process. Again, trial and error will get you where you are more or less comfortable using the tool.
3. Since the point of this tool is to get clean, I will share with you a process I have found to help me greatly--I place my left foot on the side of my bathtub to make it easier for me to reach and provide better access, this took some practice to master but, once I did it was much easier to ensure proper cleaning.
---I realize that this may seem bothersome, but really it isn't. Be prepared to use trial and error and you will get it figured out so that it works best for you.
---The reason I am going in such detail folks is because I am a 500 lb man in a world that is either disgusted or incredulous when they see me at 2 or 3 in the morning shopping, in an effort to avoid people. Either way, those of us in similiar situations need to help each other with making life a little more pleasant. I realize that those people not in this situation may be shocked by my frankness because we all know that we all choose to be this way, or are to lazy to excercise, or eat to much, and it is just soooooo much fun being morbidly obese--ain't it folks?
---The tool works for what it is intended for, trial and error.
