FreedomWand Compact Kit 14.5 Inches, Toilet Aid, Reacher tool for Seniors

The restrictions on a post-operative spinal fusion patient require no BLT (no bending lifting or twisting.) Great, but how are you supposed to wipe your butt? With this magic toilet wand. It does work. It’s not perfect but any help is better than none. I have purchased 4 different bathroom buddy devices including the “tongs”, the “stuff toilet paper in the crevice of the device, do the procedure then press the button to release the TP into the bowl” - type device. This is probably the best product of the ones I have tried. Somebody put a lot of thought into the design and manufacture. It has the little green plastic grabbers that open and close on command with a switch on the handle end of the wand that’s easy to use. The business end of the wand is non-scary and nobody is getting their giblets pinched or scratched with this device. For a complete clean up, I recommend this Magic Wand in conjunction with the Frida perfectly angled squirt bottle (look in postpartum hygiene section for that) to serve as a rinse factor whereas this magic wand has the pat dry factor you need. I am glad I purchased this wand for “my friend” after her spinal fusion surgery.

This is the best creation ever.After multiple back surgeries, rods, screw, plate up and down , neck, and spine and shoulder, it became almost impossible to twist or turn at all. You absolutely cannot reach around to take care of yourself in the restroom. This grips toilet paper so tight and has definitely changed my life. No more forcing your fusioned back to try and turn, ripping scar tissue. It holds folded up tissue and has a long curved handle . You fold paper over into a fairly thick square grip it in the middle and twist a small handle in it and grab it with the gripper. You just slide the button forward while on the toilet and it drops the paper . It doesn’t touch you and it stays clean. You of course could wipe it down but it doesn’t actually need it Pulls back apart and toss it in the bag with draw strings. It would fit into a larger type purse too! 5 stars out of 5 stars!

I loved the idea of how this design is supposed to work, but (as other reviewers have also stated) it is quite flimsy. I purchased one of the extender links offered w/it (paid total of 63.70 w/tax; expensive!), and when you try to use this aid, it "moans and groans" at all the places where a link joins to another one, and the whole thing then tends to bend/sway a little. Doesn't seem as if it could possibly last through very many uses! Also, after you've finished w/toilet paper, if you want to cleanse w/one of the commercial "flushable moist wipes" (and don't we all??), b/c of the moisture, it slips right out of the grabber! If it just worked as intended, it would be my favorite of all the toilet-wiper aids I've ever tried. And I've tried several... my favorite thus far being the "Juvo Toilet Aid - Personal Bottom Wiping Tool," that I bought here on Amazon. But even it has a very-aggravating flaw: the 'spring' inside (which makes the grabber end open and close) stops working between a few days and a few months. Never had ANY wiper aid to last even a year. Why can't someone make a QUALITY toilet wiper?!! Seems that would not be a hard task in this day and age!

The other reviews are right - this does not hold onto paper very well. Many reviewers talked about how the tool doesn't hold paper very well, and the seller responded that people weren't following the directions. I bought this anyway. But... the other reviews are honest and correct - this does NOT hold paper very securely. I bought it for a trip - I have a long one, but a two piece tool with a bag i could stick in my coat pocket seemed like a great idea. It IS a great idea. I followed the directions, and, based on the sellers' comments here, was SURE to use plenty of paper and to push it way down into the jaws. It still falls off. Overall, I was glad to have it, even if the paper falls off it can be used (carefully). It also does not make as solid a connection between the two parts as I expected.

This product works well once you figure out the best way, fold about 18” of paper until its about 6 or 7” long then twist one corner tightly and clamp it in the tip, then pull the paper down over the tip, however, this new redesigned tip doesn't work as well as the older one did, it grips the paper tighter but when the button is pushed the paper remains stuck in the tip. I know people complained that the older ones didn’t grip the paper tight enough, probably because they weren’t twisting it like I do. guess I will have to adapt. I wonder if you could produce a small hard case for this, in addition to the cloth pouch? which is great by the way. nevertheless this product is still far and away better than any other similar product. Thanks.

Never thought I would need to use a toilet aid like this. But after major back surgery, I could do without some time of reaching device. This is by far the best reaching tool for wiping as it's super well made and easy to attach toilet paper to it.

This device allowed me to do something I haven’t been able to do in over a year which is go to the toilet and wipe myself without having to bend over so much that I hurt myself. I am telling you right now there’s others out there, but it doesn’t do quite as well as this one and I’m gonna tell you right now being able to reach in places I haven’t been able to reach in years without really hurting myself is a blessing that’s why I’m giving this a five star. The only thing I have to say about it is don’t want it up too big because otherwise you’re not gonna be able to press down on the holding position. That’s the only thing I have to say that’s a negative other than that this is probably one of the best products out there.

I have purchased two complete wand, the three piece set with a bag. One in 2020, the second in 2024. I love the product. Of all the butt wipers out there, this one is the best. I have two fundamental problems. For the money they charge, the product needs to be either made better or have a better warranty. Somebody is getting a payday on these because they are flimsy. In addition to the two wands I bought, I also bough extensions. I liked the idea of being able to scrub hard to reach areas in the shower. I used the extensions once because they flexed so much during use they would not have stood up to much use. Unfortunately, the 30 day return window had passed. I have also bought a replacement handle and a replacement head because they broke. They were from the original purchase in 2020. Some people might think that is okay. I do not because I grew up with products that still work today because they were made to last. Today corporations only care about next quarter's earnings reports. Five year mean time between failure is the norm and it is a real shame.

Il est super ! Je viens d'en acheter un deuxième pour ne pas avoir à le transporter d'un étage à l'autre. Le premier que j'ai acheté, il y a 8 ans, fonctionne toujours aussi bien.

my ass is pink and clean

Bought this product with great hopes but as my other reviewers stated the prongs break. It seems that product itself always has two prongs break, I tested this by buying another one thinking it might be a one off but it happened again. The interesting thing is the two prongs left hang on for dear life as opposed to the other two the broke instantly. I would say just make the two prongs standard and sturdier. In the end for now don’t waste your money as I did!

Great devise that works very well. I was impressed enough to get another. It does take a while to get to the United Kingdom, and it not cheap. However, well worth having.

Did not work at all for me. Could not hold the toilet paper securely, and the open-ended design with small grabbing arms can really become messy and hard to clean properly if/when any "of what you're wiping off" gets past/through the TP! I threw it away immediately!
