RMS Long Reach Comfort Wipe - Self Assist Toilet Aid, Ideal Daily Living Bathroom Aid for Limited Mobility

First of all I never thought I’d be writing a review like this. Let start out by saying I’m a bigger girl. I weigh 288lbs. It will make sense. Even at my weight I’ve never had a problem wiping my booty. Now that leads me to January when I broke my right wrist. My dominant hand. I CANNOT do anything with my left. So there comes a day when I have to poop. I remember seeing an episode of my 600lb life and a lady used a pair of tongs to hold the TP to help her reach around. So off to the store we go. Get back home tongs in hand. It works but not the most comfortable. My daughter says mom I’m sure Amazon has something. She types in ass wiper and this product comes up. I immediately order it. What do I have to lose at this point? It has been the most amazing product! Yep it’s soft. It reaches perfectly. I used flushable wipes with it so help keep me clean. Now my cast is off and I still do not have good range of motion and less flexibility than I had before. So I am still using it. I wished that I had one that folded so I could take it in the bathroom when I travel instead of trying to hide this one in my jacket. So I take a look and there is a foldable one. BUY IT! You won’t be disappointed.

The ordering and shipment went flawlessly, so please don't think this review is about that. It's completely about the fact that this particular product is pretty much worthless. I had lower back surgery, and ordered this so that I could attend to my own "needs" (it's a bit embarrassing to have someone else clean your butt for you). Was hoping that this would solve the dilemma. Well, it probably could...if it could actually hold toilet tissue. The base problem is that it won't grip the tissue no matter HOW you try to apply it. I followed every instruction multiple times...even went so far as to wrap the paper AROUND it...to no avail. NOTHING worked. So...it will now rot under my bathroom cabinet until the next time I do a cleaning purge...at which point, it will join any other useless items I choose to get rid of.

This self assist toilet aid works great. Since having surgery on my right wrist I won't be able to use my right hand to wipe my butt. I highly recommend this to everyone who can't use their dominant hand or arm.

The end that holds the TP doesn't do a very good job at all. You might as well use a plain stick with a rubber glove rubber-banded on. Gripper just doesn't hold it.

Works as intended.

I dislike not being able to give this product a 5 star rating. It deserves 5 stars for usefulness and technical design. However, I am giving it 2 stars for material and assembly quality, as well as longevity of product. Within less than 24 hours of opening the box, the cover and spring had broken on the handle of the wiper. Since this doesn't render the product unusable, I have chosen to keep it rather than return it.I have purchased several of the Long Reach Comfort Wipe for my mother over the past several years from various retail outlets. None of the spring release mechanisms have lasted long-term. Some have lasted longer than others, but not having use of the spring-release mechanism has not deterred her from using the wiper. She loves the product.Overall, the wiper is a great little personal hygiene helper in the bathroom from toileting to showering. The cost of $6.95 is very acceptable. Anything more than that, due to the poor quality is over priced. I did purchase 2 this time. Hopefully, by the time my mother needs a replacement, the quality of the product will have improved.If you have physical difficulties with toileting and showering, I would still recommend The Long Reach Comfort Wipe.

Pro - Comfort Wipe is an incredible, assistive device for those lacking mobility. I have bought 3 for each bathroom and my daily carry bag.Cons - The release feature doesn't really work with toilet paper or wipes. It is easier to just wrap and then flip off in trash can.

So many things wrong. I usually read reviews before I purchase, but I clearly didn't. I have a disease that has robbed me of muscle strength. So the first thing I did after taking it out of the package is to see if I can press the button to release the tissue. It took both my hands to even make it somewhat work. So that's a no go. Then tried to load it with tissue. No matter how much or how little I put in it or wrapped around it, it wouldn't stay. So that strike 2. I compared the tool with the diagram of how to use it. According to the tools curve in the diagram the little clam should be on bottom. I'm glad this works for some people, but just not me.
