FreedomWand Multipurpose Toilet Aids - 20" Inch Wiping Aid Toileting for Women & Men, Butt Wiper Tool, Toilet Assist Device and Paper Extender, Ideal for Elderly, Disabled and Post Surgery Use

This plastic wiping tool works great. It is easy to assemble and super easy to clean. It slightly bent on one end where the little plastic fingers come out. With very little effort you can place folded up toilet paper and wipe. Then hit the release lever and drop the dirty paper right in the toilet without mess. It is perfect for when you cannot reach around to clean your rear area. I had back surgery and have found this invaluable during my recovery.

I've used my Freedom Wand for over 18 months, now. While it's wonderful and freeing to be able to go to work, go shopping, go out to dinner, visit friends or even go on a trip overnight or longer without worrying about getting truly clean, there's a small problem. The construction is such that bodily substances can get on the wand and into the seam, and on the fingers of the wand if your wipe or TP tears, and it's a pain to truly clean the wand when you're in a public restroom. My suggestion is that if you intend on using it while out and about, buy thin plastic bags, like the Liners Compatible for use in Littermaid Waste Receptacles - Trash Liners 200/pack to use as covers over the wand. The bag also helps with disposing of the wipe if you can't flush it. The pouch holds the three pieces of the wand, a roll of the bags (the liners come in 4 rolls of 50) and a package of Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Cleansing Cloths, 504 Cloths . It fits in a larger purse or tote bag, so you can go out and even go on overnight adventures and not worry about your hygiene.

I bought this product in spite of some of the poor reviews, hoping the good reviews were more accurate...not so. The idea for this is great, but the execution, not at all. The grip is ridiculously loose and almost pointless. I watched the video, tried things a million ways, and never received even minimal results. as soon as you receive it there is a giant pink sticker on it that says "No Returns" so this immediately put me on the defense thinking "so if it's a crappy product, you're just stuck with it", and I am. Total total total waste. chunked in the garbage, and am out $40.00. What has changed my life was a portable bidet. Havent felt this fresh and clean in years. Wonderful and very economical.

Its ok

I had total hip replacement surgery so no twisting. Let me tell you I was so worried. This device works, but don’t use toilet paper(a waste of time) use wet wipes instead.

I had a shoulder replacement on my dominant side & needed help with wiping. The freedom Wand came to the rescue! It worked wonderfully! I found it most effective using a wet wipe (Cottonelles Wipe). Otherwise, I had to use about eight squares of toilet paper bunched together. I made them up ahead of time so I didn’t have to stay in the bathroom forever. Again, I highly recommend this product if you’re having trouble wiping after using the bathroom!

First let me say that the idea behind this product is really fantastic! Unfortunatly the execution just didn't live up to the idea. I purchased this after trying other solutions that were so so ... The idea of a modular long reach holder for clean up etc I thought "finally!" a fix for me since becoming disabled and wheelchair bound. Good points: The reach is fine The angle is good The handle grip is good. Bad points: It isn't easy to get the claw to Really hold onto Adult washcloths etc (the video does help but design is just lacking enough grab strength). The pieces don't really snap together well mine falls apart during use on a regular basis. The tab that hold the pieces together is reason for it falling apart and on my unit one tab broke off (and it was the one holding the claw). The price ... wow very expensive but I figured if it solved the problem it would be worth it ... for me at least it wasn't my unit is broken now due to the tab it renders it useless. I hope they go back to the drawing board and fix the design flaws as the idea behind it is really a good idea.

easy to use and adjust was as described as well as pictured

What a perfect solution to a very serious problem ! No matter what the cause of the inability to do what most people take for granted, this product is such an immense help. The inventors of this “aid” obviously worked on every angle of the design, because it works perfectly. Watching all the videos makes a slightly-daunting procedure into a very successful one. I take “my green stick” with me everywhere I go, and really regret it when I forget.

I had another wand that I used after hip surgery but it was too long to carry in my hand bag so I ordered this item. I'm sorry to say that after many attempts I could never get it to work for me. It never held the paper securely no matter how I tried. Too bad because I liked how compact it was.

Bought for post surgery. Not for people who frustrate easily. Worked great with my razor to shave my legs. Hurt myself wiping , need patience with this product. I don’t have patience.

It’s hard for a senior to open it to put paper or cloths in it. A bit disappointed as it was recommended by the hospital.
