It seems like so many of these products were designed without really thinking. Those tongs, for instance -- did they forget that people might not get a straight shot to the anus? A kink in the apeture is certainly necessary. And aren't the grasping bits of the tongs on the OUTSIDE of the paper -- and thus subject to contamination?

And I have no idea how the "short dwarf" one is supposed to work.

Judging from pictures alone, I need to get me a bottom buddy. Uh... yeah, they definetly need to change the name of this product.

The above comment reminds me of a Kids in the Hall skit where Bruce says, "What is the sound of one had clapping?"
"What is the sound of one butt cheek flapping?"

Anyway, I am a reacher-in-between-the-leg-wiper. Were I to be a stand and reach behind wiper, then this would have really helped when I hurt my back this spring.
Jimmy, thanks for the interesting product information, and I hope that you have many more years of comfort down the road. Best of luck to you.

Cool! I'm a rehab therapist, and I'll have to remember this for some of my clients! Happy wiping with your little buddy!

Damn! That would help some of these overweight people I know who can't reach their asscracks very well. Not a crack on overweight people, just an observation. It's very difficult for this one guy I know to wipe down there and he weighs about 400 pounds or more.

Fascinating, the things you learn from being a reg on Poop Report. I would never have guessed there was a cottage industry for wiping-assist devices. Very informative report, Jimmy and Dave-O!

Pwah pwah pwah!

anus applause

Hmm.. One hand clapping, one cheek flapping...
I remember at one website there was a contest to see who could go the longest with masturbation. Some people were literally losing their mind, so I said
"You have forgotten the sound of one hand fapping."

Was that website called Seinfeld?

That thing looks more like a luxury item that I'd buy. Why should I risk puncturing the toilet paper with my hand when I can leave the dirty work up to the Butt Wand?

*Adds to Christmas List*

ThreePly, I think Butt Wand is a much better name for this product. I might buy it if it was called the Butt Wand.

What a testimonial!

Man, I broke my right arm once, and my left ribs another time and I NEVER considered what grief and aggro would be involved in wiping ones ass.

In the rib case, the twisting brought excruciating pain; in the arm case, a right-handed guy CANNOT wipe his ass with the left! (I presume the same is true with southpaws, only reversed).

This device could be a lifesaver for someone with a chronic illness as opposed to a temporary disability.

Slim Jim, that's a trick question!

The sound of one hand fapping is "fap fap fap".

Wait a minute, you're a guy, you wouldn't know this!!!! Hehehe.

Unless it's low on grease. Then you hear squeak-fap, squeak-fap, squeak-fap, "my dick hurts".

Hehehehe.

Good one.

Get that Wanker Lube out.

A friend of mine was living with this guy, who was so huge that he couldn't *or wouldn't* wipe his own ass after taking a shit. He liked to leave little dingleberries on the floor for her to pick up. Glad they weren't dating....just roomies...but still...he could use that, I sent her the link to get him that for Christmas.

It's about time someone came up with a good toilet-side device for "wiping impaired" individuals...

Is there an electric or gas powered bottom buddy available ?

Why is it so expensive?

I use (and love) the bottom buddy, but wish they had a smaller one that I could fit in my purse...the "Little Buddy"!

The Bottom Buddy looks like the best design. The bottm pictures however, don't look like very efficient products to wipe ones self with.

The price needs to come down alot, if this product is going to sell. $40.00 is outrageous.

I've been using the Bottom Buddy for about 9 months and Jimmy is certainly right with his comments .The device does work very well but they do BREAK. I am on my third device. There is a weak point in the radius were the release button is located. The first two devices I had developed cracks at the top of the button depression. I think the material is too thin in that area for the amount of presure that can be developed.The manufacture only warrants the device for 30 days. How convenient.

I weigh about 400 pounds, and I could only reach my a** to wipe it (without any assistive devices) would be if my arms were as long as a gorilla's!

At the moment, I take a shower brush, turn it sideways, cover it with a baby-wipe (the large ones stay on the brush butter), and use that to reach between my legs from the front.

This works fine when I'm at home, but I can't walk around carrying a shower brush (I've never found a collapsible one to put in my briefcase), so this leads to some embarrassing "skid marks" (as my wife calls them) in my boxers!

I'm going to try the bottom buddy. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

My Bottom Buddy just broke in half, but I love it none the less and will be buying another when I get the money. Just remember it is plastic (two halves) and it can be weakened from use.
