Bum wiping gadget

annanotherthing13 profile image

Hi, say if there are any mechanically inclined people out there, & I know there are, would someone PLEASE come up with a device to wipe my Butt!? It's truly ridiculous how impossible it is to turn or stretch to wipe! I can't take it anymore. Maybe a mechanical arm & hand, or something that could dissolve it right off? LOL!!! No but seriously...figure it out and get back to me. Thanks!

I have thought the same for a long time, my arms don't reach easily any more. Sometimes I feel I am stood on my head trying to get arm in correct position

Here in Spain the bidet jet can be altered to 'wash' but then there's the hassle of getting down to bidet level and drying afterwards

When I went to the Far East for work every loo had no loo paper but, instead, a hose pipe for doing similar to the bidet, I tried and just got soaked.....!

I just looked on the internet. there are plenty of products to help with this.Some quite reasonable, some expensive. Looking at the design you could probably make a similar device of your own for next to nothing.

My dog sticks his back legs in the air and drags his bum along the carpet with his front paws.

Unfortunately when I tried it my wife chucked me outside and left me in the back yard in the rain.

Chrome Muslim Shataff Bidet Douche Shower Toilet Spray Chromed Brass Kit Head

Or google hand held bidet spray

Get them from amazon they are really good. Much better than toilet paper. You can fit them to the inlet pipe to the toilet. You can go more up market and get a thermostatically controlled one but I’m poor and mines a cold one. (You get used to it)

Yes, you can get bottom wipers from Amazon. Not tried it but have thought about getting one for those days that I do struggle.

The hand sprayer on a hose is good just reduce flow so not OTT with valve.

I have to wash mine as paper don't work very well as having spinal issues have no/very little feeling in lower region/bum/back of legs as when they checked prostate said hole isn't tight said i can't feel it as numb so if don't wash and use paper never cleaned properly then bleeds as skin dries out.

Bidet is great also but in the UK we are such Dinosaurs as many places inc far east have better methods

Hi, if you get the answer let me know it will be top of my Xmas list. The only thing that I can think of would be a bidet, if you have room in your loo xx

There is a toilet you can get that washes and dries you. Unfortunately I cannot remember what they are called ! But I worked with adults with physical disabilities and most had these toilets fitted. Hope you find what you're looking for

Not what you're looking for?
