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

I honestly never knew a product like this existed but am so thankful it does. Before my recent back surgery I was researching tips and products online to help with my recovery and ran across a video showing this and several other brands of toilet aids. I decided on this one because of the design but mainly because it has a snap on cover for extra cleanliness. It has been such a huge help in so many ways, of course with the wiping it is intended to do but I also clean it with an antibacterial wipe afterward and use it to pull up my undies and pants and then snap on the cover and use it to reach the toilet handle to flush since I can’t bend for several weeks. It is a simple design and easy to use- you put the toilet paper on as you want and just squeeze the handle to lock in the gripper head which holds the paper very securely in place. Afterwards you just push the button at the end of the handle to release the gripper. It works great and I would recommend it to anyone with mobility issues.

I have fought this product several times in the past it always works very well and helps me immensely if I have one complaint is that it does not come with a stand

I bot this for my right shoulder surgery, which resulted in two pins anchoring my rotor cuff tendon, and having to wear a shoulder immoblizer for 6 weeks. It is a life saving devise! Practice using it for a few weeks before your surgery. Hold devise between legs. Ball up 4 sheets of smooth, non-ridged toilet paper, stick in the devise tip, with 2/3 rds of the paper sticking up toward intended target. Squeeze lever under handle to close and trap paper. Wipe. The tip of the devise is pretty smooth and is contoured-hard for it to "scratch" the target, but not impossible. It mainly accomplishes the mission. Hazards are that the paper falls out of devise before reaching target, soiled paper sticks in target, soiled paper fails to release from devise post target. Adjust prep thru practice. You don't want to first try to use when in extreme pain. Perhaps buy 2 devices...just in case-the top plastic "release" is tricky, and I'm not comfortable with the thought it might jam permanently and leave me up the creek. There are two releases-one on top and one on the end of the handle. The end release works if you have iron inner thighs and can press it hard enough to release and not cause brusing, or find a hard surface to press it against to release while simultaneously ensuring the "payload" at the other end will safely drop into the toilet. The top release works more effectively, but one needs practice releasing it with one hand while not simultaneously clasping the bar that snaps the "jaws" closed on the opposite side of the handle. In that case, it jams and takes some effort to un-jam, being mind full of the "payload" on the other end. Banging the devise in the toilet bowl is one solution to effect release of stuck paper, or manual extraction from affected areas will be needed as another solution. Using water-soluble wipes pretty much works the same, but they are thinner than wadded toilet paper, so have more intensity of the same hazards happening. The handle of the device is too long-it gets caught up in one's pulled down pants when wiping, unless they are all pulled down around one's ankles-not a good stability idea in the woozy drug-inhibited days immediately after major surgery. Eat lots of fruit to keep regular-it helps when wiping and using the devise. Unless the devise itself is visibly soiled and needs wiping after use, I just flush toilet, then rinse device in the new toilet water, and store it on the fiberglass back of the bath tub between uses. Good luck!

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.
