Why Choose the Goldfern Bottom Wiper?

A long-handled toileting aid can be useful when limited reach makes personal hygiene awkward. The Bottom Wiper keeps the design simple: an extended handle, a tissue-holding end and a release button, without adding unnecessary complexity to a very personal daily task.

Making Everyday Tasks More Manageable

Bottom Wiper is designed to reduce unnecessary reaching, gripping or twisting during a familiar daily task. The most useful setup depends on the user’s hand strength, range of movement and the environment in which it will be used. Practise the movement while seated or otherwise well supported before relying on the aid during a full routine.

Keep handles and contact surfaces clean and dry, inspect moving or gripping parts regularly, and store the product where it can be reached without creating another awkward movement. An occupational therapist can suggest task-specific techniques or alternatives where pain, weakness or limited movement makes the activity difficult.
