it helps somewhat
i only used it 3 times before the spring gave out, but i continue to use it by wrapping the wet wipes around it. It does get messy if you cant get the wipes off.
Great idea, missed the mark though ...
Issues with paper gripper - won't hold toilet paper, won't release toilet paper. If you get some to stick inside the grip, you will have trouble in releasing it into to toilet.
Way too wide, shouldn't this be more finger size? Even a large man-size finger would be better in taking care of a cleaning job.
It just needs to be slimmer - I'm not a small person and it still needs to be a lot slimmer.
Too long to fit in purse for travel, barely fits in a backpack
Wanted to give "better than average" rating but it has too many issues that could be rectified easily .... and make a lot of people very happy!
Ias cheated out of $29-30.00!
This was the biggest joke I ever seen. I just received two wands, one for my husband and one for myself. I have arthritis in my hands, and was unable to properly wipe myself. Do not buy this item! My husband told me not to buy these things, but I brought them anyway. The release spring gets stuck where you then have to remove the toilet tissue yourself and then pop the spring back into place so it will release again. What a mess! I'd laugh if it was somebody else, but it's me. We're on a fixed income and I threw this money out the window!!! I bet they won't print this.
Not thrilled with it
Not easy to use. Handle is too bulky. Toilet paper either falls out or will not come out! Do not waste your money!
Useful
Does the job with no problem. Been in the hospital 3 months and had to have 24 hour care, but started using this item to make myself more independant.

Problem with device is bad instructions
The product is great once you learn how to use it. Instructions that come with it are not helpful. What I do is tear off 6 squares of toilet paper. Fold it in half lengthwise, and fold in half again. Put split end of product in center of tissue. Put one end of tissue in slot then put put other end in slot. now tissue should be inserted in product so that one end of tissue is tucked in slot the other end wraps around product and is tuck on top of the first end. stays in place during use and is easily removed when end button is pushed. You may have to use more or less paper depending on the tissue you use. If you think the handle is too short then try wiping fromn the back.You have to experiment with it to find what is best for you.

Finally something that works!
I am so thankful to have found this! I am unable to reach my own areas that need cleaning, and this tool has been a Godsend. The timing was perfect as well! I am very right-handed and was going to have shoulder surgery on my right shoulder! So I worked and worked with this tool with my left hand until I could reach where I needed to. It is sturdy and holds the flushable wipes just fine. I cannot say enough good things about this tool! Unfortunately, you have to have a large bag to put it in if you leave the house, just in case! Otherwise, this is the best tool I have found so far and I am not looking any further!

Without this tool it would be necessary for someone to wipe this individual.
So innovative!
Whoever thought this up was a genious! I recently had hand surgery and not being ambidextrous this really came in handy. Allowed me to remain independent for that awful "clean up" problem. Follow the directions and it works great. I even recommended it to my neorosurgeon for his other patients who might experience the same difficulties and where to get it.

Ordering 2nd time
Works best with personal wet wipes that are flushable. Paper doesn't release as well.
Ordering 2 more for other members of my family. Would like if it would fold for travel.

Use it daily. Works great, but takes a few times to adjust to it. A big helper for me as I hurt my hip 9 years ago, & can't manage to clean myself probably without it.

A 'GADGET' WHICH REALLY WORKS
I'm obese, and was already having trouble reaching to use toilet paper properly. Then, prior to breast-surgery a nurse suggested I buy a long-reacher because I might experience post-operative pain when trying to reach behind myself. This product works SO well, that I use it always now.

I could not take care of myself without this tool. I wish someone would make one that folds for easy traveling.

Gave me back some independence.
I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and this "butt wiper" gave me back some independence as I'm not as flexible as I used to be. It holds the toilet paper and even wet wipes well. The rubber handle makes it easy to hold. The only thing I don't like about it is that I don't have enough strength to push the release button so I have to removed the soiled paper manually.

Hygene can be a problem for obese people. I'm one. I call this product "my helper" and I love it!
I have 2 because I never want to be without one on hand. I got the first one over a year ago and except for the button occasionally getting stuck, it is working perfect.(no problem there,just push the button again.)

This helps when my arms are not working very well -- such as today and I am all alone in my home. I sometimes wish it were a little narrower -- more like a finger to get wipes in small places such as around hemmeroids.
this is a great product but had to make a change
my husband took one look at it went to the store and bought sponges and a mesh bag. he cut sponges into about two by 4 inch pieces. so when i place toilet paper around wand then use sponge as a shim to hold paper in place. then when i am thru i place the sponge into the mesh bag to be washed. so far i have not made any kind of a mess onto the sponges at all. the sponges stay totally clean because they are on the unused side so to say. so far i have not had one to fall into the toilet either. so far so good!

A great solution.
This was a great solution for me. I have limited mobility due to three back surgeries and four hand sugeries. It is difficult for me to wipe effectively. This little gadget is a Godsend--the only bad side to it is that water sometimes gets into the seams after washing, and if you don't take off the rubber around the top and clean out the insides, it will start smelling after numerous uses. This is my second wiper--I thought it would be great to have another one on hand. Another fantastic use is for those with rectocele problems--it puts a pressure point just where you need the additional help without having to use your hand. Definitely a marvel for those with handicaps. I took this to the hospital with me when I was having hand surgery on my right hand--I knew I would need it afterward. The nurses were absolutely blown away by the product and wanted to know where to get more of them for their post-op patients!

Only needed one of these.
I have ordered many personal use items from Comfort and have been very satisfied with everything. This item was ordered because my range of motion was not very good due to a broken shoulder.
Not very impressed
I cannot get it to hold anything to be able to use it. Maybe I am doing it wrong.

nice cleanup - if paper would stay on
I tried thie product soon after I got it. It worked good the first time. When I tried it for a BM it was a real mess. Couldn't get paper to stay on then when I wrapped it, couldn't get it off with out handling paper. I read the reviews and they were mixed. Should have regarded the negatives better. Won't return, just trying to learn to use it,

So so product
I am over weight and I liked this product when I was looking at it but it is too wide or to thick around to get in the area I am needing to reach. It would be better for me if it was thinner to reach my rear end.
Usefull
I have back issues!There are days when I have very limited flexability in my back. This useful wand allows me to do normal wipeing when needed.However it isn't effective as far as the toilet paper release.Dosn't work properly.But still serves every day purposes.
Works wonders
I had a twisted gut and now I have to take lax twice a day and have a lot of gas and hemorrhoids and getting clean is a challenge.
I used it less than a week and the spring loading broke and now the plastic is tearing where I can see the metal.
I was going to return it but I ordered 2 as I need them and I can't be out of them but I feel they need to fix the plastic better so it doesn't split and the spring is fixed so it will release the tissue paper
Long reach needs six more inches
a large person needs this product to be longer to reach completely.

This is great for someone who has had back fusions and doesn't have much flexibility anymore. But it needs to be made expandable so it can be folded and carried with you in a purse or bag for use other than at home.

Much too wide even before adding toliet paper.
Defective
I bought one of these years ago and it worked up until recently when the metal gripper popped through. Finding another one through Easy Comforts seemed like a godsend. However, this new one won't grip the tissue or moist wipes at all as the gripper space for tissue is much too wide (the width of two thumbs). I even tested it with a thick terry wash cloth and it wouldn't grip that either. It's what I've come to expect from items made in China (which you don't know about until you receive it). Customer service is sending me a new one so I hope it will be better. If not, I'll request my money back.
Sent it Back
Have another brand that works.
Out of reach
messy, unable to manipulate!

I agree with sanfrkl. The handle needs to be longer. I'm a large person and it can only go so far. I threw mine away after the first try.

Times the paper was released after use - ZERO out of TEN! Unless you count the time it released it before the paper was used! The design for holding the paper in place and then releasing it is a joke. Don't waste your money.

The 'hold and release' design is horrible. It DOES NOT WORK as the directions claim it will. It DOES NOT RELEASE the paper.
