Wiping Aid Tongs
Purpose
Wiping aid tongs allow those with limited mobility to independently clean themselves after trips to the bathroom.
Description
Wiping aid tongs are an alternative tool to the other wiping tools that have release buttons. These tongs require you to maintain your grip on the handle to hold the tissue in place, which may not be easy for most people with FOP. However, this design may work for some because of the very slim design that would more easily fit between the legs. The tongs also come in multiple lengths.
Tips
TIP: Careful when shopping for Wiping Aid Tongs – different brands will come in different lengths. You may be tempted to buy the cheapest brand, but this will often be the shortest ones too, and they may not be long enough to fully reach and clean all areas.
