Ew

Omg. That was really uncomfortable to watch.

I think something like this probably is wonderful for elderly or disabled people who actually could benefit from this. But to market it in such a way that says that touching TP is 'archaic and disgusting' just doesn't seem right...

omg that is so nasty.

A ass Swiffer!

Nasty. At least TP is flushable. Do you put that in a bathroom cabinet or what? Gross!

i mean seriously, who doesn't know how to wipe their own ass?

I assume this is really for extremely obese people who can't reach otherwise.

"the comfort wipe allows you to maintain your dignity".....uh, really?

""the comfort wipe allows you to maintain your dignity".....uh, really? "

It's more dignified than having someone else have to wipe you.

You might need it on a weekend in TJ.

i still dont understand how sh*t doesnt end up on this stick. omg, i'm still so disturbed having watched this.

I wouldn't have one personally (I mean if its not cheap gnarly loo paper I'm usually pretty happy.) but I can see how a disabled or elderly person would benefit from this.

What the... seriously? I can see why disabled people would need it but then advertise it as a product for disabled people instead of saying: "Toilet paper is disgusting!" Because that is just childish. But how will you ever wipe your butt the right way with that thing? It'll leave behind stuff... that is disgusting!

There is a man that goes to the rehab center my school clinicals are at that uses something like this. He's morbidly obese, so he just can't reach.

It's not "childish" to not clearly articulate the product is for obese/disabled people, it's good advertising. One of the big challenges of advertising to people who have any kind of disability (as well as those who are elderly or obese) is addressing your message as helpful and friendly while completely avoiding their condition.

The fact is, many people in these situations don't believe (or don't want to believe) that they're abnormal. Likewise, many people who have disabilities do not want attention called to their disabilities. The PERFECT way to have someone completely tune out your advertisement is to say, "Hey, are you fat and you can't reach your own butt?" Instead, the better way of approaching it is by saying something along the lines of what is said in the commercial. Even though the first message is the true one, the audience does not want to hear it. And if your main consumers don't want to hear it, they also won't buy it.

So do you get one for the whole family? Or does each person get their own? Or get them in different colors and designs? To personalize your own and take it with you when you travel. Does it come with a travel case?

First I'll say that 2-ply paper, which came out no later than 1941, was probably a better improvement upon the practice of the esteemed science of arsewiping than this mass-produced piece of dime-a-dozen injection-molded Chinese garbage could ever claim.

If the primary target market for this unfortunate item is indeed morbidly obese people, then the freebie "Get-A-Grip" should speak volumes about the true opinion held by the proprietor of the comfort wipe regarding people who actually have the capacity to improve their depraved, self-imposed condition.

Aside from helping the legitimately disabled (who have access to similar devices already), all that these products will accomplish is the perpetuation of a nation saturated with lazy pampered bacteriophobic arseholes who by the day are becoming increasingly dependent upon the developing world as a source of physical man-hours transmuted into products which decrease their own caloric expenditures.

Only in America will stuff like this fly. Go us.
