Comfort Wipe: Extension Arm to Wipe Your Behind

Posted by Alex in Gadget, Video Clips on June 13, 2009 at 2:48 am


If you consider that the modern toilet paper was first introduced in 1857, the whole butt wipe thing is waaay due for a major advance.

Ancient Romans used to wipe their butts after going to the bathroom with a sponge on a stick (which they put in a bucket of saltwater after they’re done for reuse – Eew!) – so, in a nod to history, here’s Comfort Wipe: a stick that lets you wipe your behind without ever coming close to touching it with your bare hands.

Now, before you recoil in horror, consider that this invention is actually quite useful for people with limited range of motion due to disability. Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] – via AdFreak

    No. I'm sorry, this just won't do.
    This is no revolution in butt wiping. The paper is STILL THERE! At best, I'd call it a small step for people with short arms.
    Now, if they invented a way that improved on the actual tissues, then color me interested.
    I was always intrigued by the three sea shells in "Demolition Man"...

    Its quite useful for people who are missing 18 inches of their arms.

    Like war-vets who have stepped on a mine, instead of a hook they screw on a sanitary paper extension arm and holder that extends their reach a full 18 inches while it follows the contours of their bodies and comfortably cleans. If they lost more then one limb then the more sanitary paper extension arm and holder that extends their reach a full 18 inches while it follows the contours of their bodies and comfortably cleanss they can screw on.

    In Japan the common toilets these days are the ones that squirts water precisely at your butt. Then it makes the whole butt wiping process a lot simplier.

    Think about it; if you get mud on your hands, would it be easier to simply rub it with toilet paper or first wet your hands then wipe it with toilet paper?

    When I see someone with one of those ENORMOUS behinds, I wonder 'how do you wipe that'. Now I know.

    @BadBubby
    Henry VIII's toilet attendant was called the “Groom of the Stool”.

    Going to the toilet was still a social occasion back then, as with the ancient Romans. So the elite would all get together and discus policy in “The Great House of Easement” at Hampton palace !

    Or they could just use wet toilet paper.

    Do the people that "just don't want to touch messy toilet paper" realize they still have to handle the end that has been in their ass?

    To everyone being so rude about people that are fat or people missing parts of their arms.
    Many times little people use them or similar items

    this really came about due to rampant obesity

    If you are so fat you can't wipe your ass without and extension, you MIGHT need to go on a diet.

    /Wasn't there a Simpsons where Lisa was in an alternate universe and she was so fat she told her kids "Get the wipin' stick!"

    This is a little gross to qualify as neat in my book. I like to think about poop less, rather than more, heh. So, this is my down-vote for Neatorama poop content. 'And stay down!

    I get the three seashells, DaveL! I wish I didn't!

    This is one in the "ThisisAMAzinJim!!!" category that the tv-addict avid couchpotatoes, elderly in need, the top-end obese and the handicapped will love to order...
