Juvo Toilet Aid - Personal Bottom Wiping Tool, Bathroom Mobility Aid for Disabled, Elderly, and Surgery Recovery - 18" long wand with hygienic cover

This thing is amazing! I have a fractured humerus and I needed assistance in the restroom but didn’t want to bother my husband for help. This gives me independence until I recover! What a fantastic tool. Thank you to whoever invented this. It’s very easy to figure out and works quite well with flushable wet wipes. Just use one wet wipe at a time and flush to avoid clogs.

I've updated my rating to 5 Stars, because of the excellent manufacturer support, on top of being a wonderful product! Juvo is actively improving their products whenever the need arises! I bought this item many months ago for those times when my back goes out, which it tends to do every couple of years. Well, my time was up on my back this round, and time to give this embarrassing tool a try. First, let me say the Juvo Toilet Aid wand is well-made from quality plastics and rubber. Looks like it will last longer than I will! You have to find your way of holding your wiping material. I originally tried using the gripper to hold the start of a multi-layed wrap. That worked well for the task, but had the unpleasant need to remove it from the tip after each wipe. I settled on simply folding regular toilet paper (about same amount I usually use, maybe a little less) and have the gripper hold the whole wad, with the tip kind of folded down like a collapsed mushroom. Works great, and releases into the bowl just fine! And I virtually never have any "business" get on the device. But I always take a few seconds to wet-wipe down the wand after its use, just be sure all is sanitary. Now at the risk of getting graphic, I like to do more than a gentle wipe, I prefer a more aggressive wipe - more like a gentle scrubbing, especially near the end of the event. And the Juvo wand allows me to do this just fine! (I was concerned it would be too flimsy - it's not!). I'm embarrassed to have to use such a device, but it really works well, and is a pleasure use, such as it is. I would, and will, purchase this again, and am considering to get another in case something happens to this one. Maybe even one for the car. I'd just be mortified if one of the buddies found it. But it may be worth the brief embarrassment. (Heck, maybe they'd like one too!). BONUS DISCOVERY! - I found a wonderful and affordable way to stow this in your bathroom without buying the pricey related stand-alone caddy for it. I bought the "Home Basics Bronze Toilet Brush with Holder", and the holder makes the perfect caddy for the Juvo! It even includes an easily washable liner cup to help keep the business-end sanitary. I even made a cut-away in the lid to keep the top covered, sort of (and the end-cap on the brush makes a perfect little handle!). Works great, looks classy, comes with a toilet brush, and all for under $10. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TMG12M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 UPDATE: Juvo Products stands behind their products with fast, friendly top-of-the-line support! I left my info on a voice mail system, and received a return call within the hour, followed by excellent support! 5 Stars all the way!

I have ordered this for my Mom. This is probably the 4th or 5th time we have ordered this item. She says the item works very well but apparently there is a problem with the spring over time that holds the paper … it no longer grips and makes the holder inoperable. This product has the best rating and design but seems to have this one product problem ongoing.

After suddenly damaging my right arm and losing certain ranges of motion imported for actions like this in particular, I had to explore technology options as often I do. I bought 3 different units, and Juvo hands down is simply the best. Certainly not perfect, but as close as it might get without an engineer getting involved (which they ought to). Out of the box, it's simple to figure out and begin using, though like anything takes getting used to and building a workflow. Use of standard paper works fine dry against the rubber end, wet wipes not so much. Using a wet wipe, they pull right out slipping right off the rubber, and raised "grips" inside the clamshell flaps are vertical, so they just fall right now. This probably could have been avoided making the molded grip deeper and more interlocking to hold the wet wipes, or as I began doing is rolling up the end for thickness that clamps inside to help slightly but better grip types would fix easily without putting onus on users. Biggest issue so far as after 4-5 months, the locking mechanism stops catching, forcing me to have to maintain a grip on the unit constantly, and with range of motion and limited grip capabilities due to the nerve damage, makes this tough at times. Engineering-wise, the plastic catch on the back of the part that catches simply wore out from low-grade plastic in use. This is so far the most fatal flaw of the product, and know even replacing this one, the next will do the same eventually until v.3 of these come out. This already says "new and improved!", but apparently not enough. Please address this in future design revisions! Few other gripes, the rubber on the rip at the paper end could be longer down the neck. Occasionally get some mess spill over onto the plastic side and into the cracks that is hard to clean. Also the grippy rubber on the hand-side was delaminating even out of the box when I got mine, just indicative of QC issues in general. Also, the caddy thing is pretty useless, see no point to even having this. I'd rather they put a washable cloth sleeve and drawstring to put this in when not in use to store, take with discretely, etc. It's large enough it's hard to find something for it actually... It would be nice to see these little things reengineered better as this is the best product like it out there, I dare say the only I've found. Even if something I just know I need to reorder a new one every so often it might be worth it if the biggest problem with the latch locking just being due to crappy chinese plastic in use that spending another 5 cents would likely fix.

My hubby had back surgery. These work well. He uses one for toileting, one in the shower.

This purchase came way before the date shown on my order so I was very happy about that. I'm disabled and need a product like this. Some of the similar products are made with the end rounded, like the Bottom Buddy. I have found that with me being overweight and disabled, the round end did not work as well because it has to spread the buttocks and it did not. This Juvo Toilet Aid with the flat paddles helps to spread the buttocks and does a very good job. Using the release button was a bit difficult at first but I got used to it. I've bought just about all the toilet aids out there and I think this one is the best.

Es excelente este producto, recistente, de buena calidad. Siempre depedia de alguien que me limpiara cuando iba al baño pero desde que coni este producto soy independiente. Yo padesco de Artogriposis Multiple. mis manos estan torcidas y no alcanzaba yo a limpiarme pero ahora amo este producto. Dios bendiga a los diseñadores.

It does everything that you advertise... Thanks that I can now hygenicallly clean myself with little effort.

Comment dire... je ne suis pas sûre qu'il n'ait jamais été utilisé avant de le recevoir ! Le problème est que je n'ai plus le temps de le renvoyer. Que faire ? Dilemme !

I suffer with arthritis in my shoulders and keeping myself clean has become very hard as I get older. This aid is perfect! It is a good design and very sturdy. Do not go for cheaper models, I made that mistake and ended up sending it back because the spring got stuck. This model is a much better design unlike other types.
