Review on 11-Inch Bottom Buddy Toilet Tissue Wiping Aid - Sure Grip Design - Ergonomic Curved Handle for Limited Range of Motion - Includes Discreet Carry Bag by John Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The bottom mate will work. It takes practice.

I'm obese, have a big belly and have limited mobility to reach back. I have problems with long flights. I bought a Long Reach Comfort Wipe and a Bottom Buddy to try and practice before traveling to Europe to poop on the plane if needed. Even at home, in a large bathroom, the Long Reach Comfort Wipe was difficult to put on paper. The instructions say to put one end of the 6 sheets of paper in the top of the attachment slot, wrap it around and insert the other end of the 6 sheets in the rest of the remaining attachment slot. In fact, this is like rolling toilet paper onto a stick. The angle is not suitable for accessing the bunghole from ANY access. It's only "maybe" good for vaginal wipes. I have had a successful experience with Bottom Buddy. It holds 4 sheets of paper well by placing the folded 4 squares in the center of the "tulip" and then prying back one tulip leaf while inserting the paper. One technique that I've found to work well is the right-handed approach (I'm right-handed), with the base slightly raised off the toilet: 1. First, wipe the tissue from front to back just once. This will remove most of the feces. 2. Press the unlock button. 3. Load again with 4 sheets folded. Use a small angle towards the napkin, change the angle and step back. Airplane and small toilets with high stools that I encountered while on vacation in Europe.
