Facing Washing Handle
Purpose
Larissa Bianca Polli, who lives with FOP in Brazil, created this face washing handle after she lost movement in her arms during a flare-up and could not wash her face independently. She was even lucky enough to create it on the first try using items she already had at home.
How to make
Items Needed: Hairbrush, Soft Towel, Hair Tie.
- Take a soft towel and place it over the handle of the hairbrush
- Secure the towel with an elastic band.
This tool was created as part of the 2026 Ability Toolbox Homemade Tools Contest. More information about the contest can be found on the IFOPA Webpage. The IFOPA would like to thank The Radiant Hope Foundation for their generous financial support of this program.
