I've use this product multiple times daily for cleaning both back and front. I've had to figure out my own way of using it for cleaning my backside. I use it from the side rather than from the back. It works better that way for me. I also roll the toilet paper up and fold it down over the top. This way the paper covers the wand and it stays clean. I then take the toilet paper off by hand by carefully unrolling it so as not to touch the soiled section. It has worked better than anything else I've tried. It does break and I do replace pieces as they break. I don't use the third section. I only use the top and handle. The handle will break, especially if it falls. The top section will break also. I'm not opposed to replacing it as it gets used very often. I don't expect it to last indefinitely. I have one in my bathroom, one in my bakcpack with a roll of toilet paper that I can use when I leave the house. I carry it in a draw string bag. I also have one in our second bathroom. I try to have one new extra handle on hand in case one breaks so I can just swap out the broken one. The whole set is expensive so I just buy one every now and then to keep in stock in my house for just in case. I will not be without it. Read more
I bought this because I’m having shoulder surgery on my dominant side. I’ve tested it several times to make sure it will work for me. The first time didn’t go so well. The toilet paper kept falling off. Turns out there’s a certain way to load the tissue. Once I read the instructions it worked great. Update: I used after surgery and I’m so glad I had this tool. It gave me the freedom to wipe my own backside. I paired this tool with wet wipes and folded like they recommended. Yes I had to stand to wipe but it didn’t bother me. I set up a little station in my bathroom with bags and the extender. And would throw my bags away after. I’d definitely recommend this tool. Read more
I loved the idea of how this design is supposed to work, but (as other reviewers have also stated) it is quite flimsy. I purchased one of the extender links offered w/it (paid total of 63.70 w/tax; expensive!), and when you try to use this aid, it "moans and groans" at all the places where a link joins to another one, and the whole thing then tends to bend/sway a little. Doesn't seem as if it could possibly last through very many uses! Also, after you've finished w/toilet paper, if you want to cleanse w/one of the commercial "flushable moist wipes" (and don't we all??), b/c of the moisture, it slips right out of the grabber! If it just worked as intended, it would be my favorite of all the toilet-wiper aids I've ever tried. And I've tried several... my favorite thus far being the "Juvo Toilet Aid - Personal Bottom Wiping Tool," that I bought here on Amazon. But even it has a very-aggravating flaw: the 'spring' inside (which makes the grabber end open and close) stops working between a few days and a few months. Never had ANY wiper aid to last even a year. Why can't someone make a QUALITY toilet wiper?!! Seems that would not be a hard task in this day and age! Read more
Works the best out of all the aids I have tried. Read more
I purchased this because of back surgery and struggling to manage my personal hygiene due to mobility limitations. I read a lot of reviews this seemed to be the best option. Pros: multiple pieces to adjust length stores away discreetly Included bag Easy to travel Adjustable grip for different hygiene items - loofah, toilet tissue, wash rag Cons: All plastic Flimsy Weak little tabs at connections Struggles to hold toilet paper Slider doesn't lock so loses grip The challenge I faced was having to essentially wad up a large amount of toilet to get it to hold and not lose the paper during wiping leaving it "stuck". And the slider that is used to secure the rubberized fingers in the closed position doesn't lock so it will also lose the toilet in inappropriate places. I found I had to keep my thumb on the slider so it didn't move. Wet wipes work better but you still have to fold them in a certain way to get it to hold. The other big issue was the weak connectors. The one that held the head section to the next section broke after 3 months. So I ended up having to buy a new head section. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything better so I will continue to use this and just reinforce the joints. Read more
easy to use and adjust was as described as well as pictured Read more
Very handy and easy to use. A bit pricey but at least they also sell just the top part for less, which works fine on it's own. User tip: when loading, help the gripper fingers by pressing them together and push them in. I think it will help with the life of the grippers. Read more
I have purchased two complete wand, the three piece set with a bag. One in 2020, the second in 2024. I love the product. Of all the butt wipers out there, this one is the best. I have two fundamental problems. For the money they charge, the product needs to be either made better or have a better warranty. Somebody is getting a payday on these because they are flimsy. In addition to the two wands I bought, I also bough extensions. I liked the idea of being able to scrub hard to reach areas in the shower. I used the extensions once because they flexed so much during use they would not have stood up to much use. Unfortunately, the 30 day return window had passed. I have also bought a replacement handle and a replacement head because they broke. They were from the original purchase in 2020. Some people might think that is okay. I do not because I grew up with products that still work today because they were made to last. Today corporations only care about next quarter's earnings reports. Five year mean time between failure is the norm and it is a real shame. Read more
