Question: Wiping your bottom?
Orphan Posted On 04/25/2009 08:30:56

Does anyone know of a device or maybe a device 'invented' out of necessity to be able to wipe your own bottom?

My mother is recently disabled due to an illness and is kind of a 'big' person. Due to the nature of her illness and her immobility, she is trying to invent something wherein she can wipe her own back end without the help of another person. (It's humiliating for her.)


Initially, we thought of salad tongs. The spring-actionkind, not the scissor-style. She also thought maybe trying a spaghetti grabber wrapped with toilet paper.

Hmm.

Does anyone know of a device that can be used, or maybe one that someone created on their own?


Thanks. I don't know y'all, but I love you just the same.

Hi :)


I found 2 things online which might help...


The "Bottom Buddy" which apparently works well with TP and wet-wipes:

And also a bidet:

Hope this helps!
