Comfort Wipe

Have you heard of Comfort Wipe? The Sanitary Paper Extension Arm and Holder? Which, as they like to point out, is a full 18 inches?! Well, if you haven't seen it, sit down and check out this weird accessory.

At first I was a bit wary of poking fun at this device. I mean it may seem useless to us but what if it was really handy for someone who couldn't take care of own personal needs? And then I thought: if someone you know is that ill and needs care, surely you need to make sure someone is there to help them? After all, they might be needing assistance in other aspects of their lives. This in turn means that they would need help and care anyway so … doesn't that negate the need for a Comfort Wipe in the first place?

And then there are those who might want this accessory for other reasons. Like feeling too icky to touch tissues. Erm, so tell me … how are these icky folk planning on cleaning this hand-arm substitute? Actually, more to the point, where would you store this in your bathroom? What about when you went out to public places? I take it none of these folks are keen users of public restrooms. That's great, now I have a mental image of someone carrying around a plastic covered Comfort Wipe in their bag!

Finally there is the 'Get a Grip', a freebie you get with this purchase. So Mr. 'Get a Grip' … didn't do too well, I see. Why else are you on the bonus list?
