Wipe Your Ass In Comfort

Categories: products

Tired of having to actually touch your heinie when you go to the bathroom? Equally annoyed with having to finger dirty toilet paper once it's been used? Or maybe you've simply lost motor control and wish the doody would just remove itself. Well, have I got a date for you--and he's 18 inches long!! I'm talking about Comfort Wipe, an invaluable device for your ever-lovin' keyster, as shown in this actual infomercial (posing as a comedy sketch).

You simply place the paper on the long, blue-and-white "extension arm and holder" and wipe away, then press the release button and the used tissue falls into the bowl, never to be seen again. With the help of this marvelous middle man, your fingers never turn brown--though they may get sore from trying to wrangle the paper onto the device!

"It allows you to maintain your dignity while you maintain your personal hygiene," says one of the testimonial givers, who prefers this process to having someone else have to wipe you. (Not me. I prefer having other people do everything for me--yes, even that.)

By the way, this incredible deal also comes with a Get-a-Grip, which does some other function I can't quite gather. If I buy one, maybe I'll finally get a grip.

PS: Thanks to guest curator Vodka Stinger for alerting me to this load of crap.

It should also come with an enema extension.

"Maintain your dignity." Oh yeah. Sticking some plastic arm up your ass is so dignified!

Update: This product has been discontinued! In fact, it was never really offered in the first place! The ad was made for SNL--I mean for marketing research purposes--and there was so little interest in it, it never hit the market. I bet the shit's hit the fan at that company.

In other words, no one gave a shit.

Actually it's not necessarily a bad idea. I took care of my mother after her stroke and had to bathe her and change her diapers. I can see where some family members would be squeamish (my brothers couldn't cope at all) and would appreciate a way to slightly distance themselves from the chore. There must be AIDS caregivers who have taken care of friends who would know what I mean.

The "maintain your dignity" woman is the worst performer I've ever seen in an infomercial. The way she swivels her head like she's in a high fashion shoot while talking about her crapping process is really disturbing. And her Long-Island enunciation is really weird.

A close runner up is the fat guy who says "Being big has its disadvantages and its advantages. This is a great product!" As if the Comfort Wipe will somehow find its way between his gigantic butt cheeks.

No wonder this didn't take off!

Why all the criticism for the maintain-your-dignity lady? She is a hoot! I'm walking around all day, trying to say that just like her, but my mouth has no idea how to make those amazing sounds. She rocks!
