Jun 12 2009Comfort Wipe: Holding Toilet Paper In Your Hand Is "Really Archaic And Disgusting"
The Comfort Wipe is an 18" arm extender/wad of toilet paper holder for use when you can't reach your own ass or don't like your digits coming into contact with your butthole (you're doing it wrong!). Interesting. Also, I want to know the "advantages" of being big the hefty dude is talking about. In all seriousness though, this really is a great product, I just recommend buying two (read: I lost one wiping hard).
Thanks to Wilson and gizmoduck, who just use a handful of poison ivy fashioned to a stick because they're hardcore.

After you are done, don't press the button and release the toilet paper. Instead take it around the office and show it to all your co-workers.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. you can tell its a fake because the shadowe'd are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max helped his neighbor work on a product that would make dog poo dissapear. Right before his neighbor perfected it Max argued with him said he didn't want any part of that stupid poo eraser. When the neighbor got the sham wow guy to sell it and make him a fortune he was jealous.

Sure, that thing looks handy while you're standing in front of the crapper, but what about when you're actually sitting on it? You'll probably get poo all over yourself trying to release the toilet paper so you can pull it back out of your netherlands and load back up for a second wipe......

"Being a big guy has it's advantges"
you can destroy a chinese buffet
you can destroy a public restroom
you train yourself to think that strippers REALLY do think big guys are cute
you have your own place to shop at clothing stores
and now....you get your own poo stick!
Thanks bad thyroid!
17. Melissa - June 12, 2009 5:30 PM
I don't get it. You must have a torso twice as long as the rest of you or really really short arms to need this apparatus.
What if you accidentally wipe yourself with the plastic? Then you would have to handwash the thing in the sink.
The whole thing is a stupid concept, but the mechanics of it take it to the next level in stupidity.

FAIL!! This post fails on so many levels. Who the hell cares!?
This is just like when Lonestar tried to get the people of Druidia to try his spiffy new invention for cleaning up Mog shit. It was a massive fail because Mogs know how to use a toilet and are easily trained to do so. If you give them a Milk Bone biscuit, they'll pretty much do anything you need them to. Even pilot an interstellar Winnebago while you search for Yogurt.

I LOVE YOU.
I'm not a 13 year old girl, as the e-mail address might indicate, but rather that's my lucky number. And no, I'm not a goth, pagan, or witch, or affiliated with any other religious group. I worship you.
LOL! Okay, that last remark was a lie, I just really enjoy visiting your website, and I visit every day now, and have for the last two months or so. Or more. I guess that is kind of stalkerish, but you have nothing to fear, I live in Canada and wouldn't leave here for the United States for any amount of money in the world.
However, if you have an amount in mind, e-mail me, and I'll consider. And remember, the more 0's, the better your chances of having a 'marriage of convenience' to a Canadian. Free Health Care. Need I write more?

@ 6: I had to back that up & re-watch it just to make sure that they weren't trying to promote it as multi-functional. Then I dragged a coworker over to show them this commercial.
Ugh... now I've got a bad mental image of someone trying to use that thing as a back scrubber & finding dingleberries on their back later on.

Being a Big Guy Advantages:
Never cold, not even in New England winters.
Always get shotgun in a car.
Can claim to be tough, when really, you're just big.
Can indulge in food guilt-free, since you probably wont get noticeably worse.

I have a serious question on this. If the customers of this wonderful product don't want to touch toilet paper even if we're obviously talking about the clean side... how the heck do they WASH their butts while they're showering?? To do so they should have to DIRECTLY TOUCH their own butts, and that is so archaic and disgusting! Do they have another magic stick with a sponge at the end? Do they pay another person to do it? Do they have a special 3cm thick glove? I'd be curious to know.

ok i WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW what was that freaking improvement in the 80's WHAT WAS IT?
if those people could not reach to their butts until now using this thing, what the hell did they do? walk around pooped? used a hanger? makes no sense,
The advantages of being a big person:
you can be:
sumo wrestler
football player
stunt man
super sized model
you get to go to "the biggest loser"
CHUBBY CHASERS
all you can eat buffets, "cici's pizza"
disadvantages
cant see your pee pee
cant wipe your butt

maybe we could go the european route and use bidets, they use water to do the cleaning for you but never really caught on outside of europe

62. Tenchi059 - June 13, 2009 5:25 PM
@60: actually we have toilet paper too, so bide comes after paper. It'd be a little gross if it would completely replace it :)
So here comes a new question: are bidets really archaic and disgusting?

72. Jeff9 - June 16, 2009 9:32 AM
You need to get a hand held bathroom bidet sprayer and you will be in Heaven. For those of us who really like to be clean it is the best invention since the toilet. It is so much better than a stand alone bidet and this is why: 1. It's less expensive (potentially allot less) 2. You can install in yourself = no plumber expense 3. It works better by providing more control of where the water spray goes and a greater volume of water flow. 4. It requires no electricity and there are few things that can go wrong with it. 5. It doesn't take up any more space, many bathrooms don't have room for a stand alone bidet. 6. You don’t have to get up and move from the toilet to the bidet which can be rather awkward at times to say the least. Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com
