I sort of apologize in advance for posting this, but wow. The fact that this exists is mindboggling. The Comfort Wipe is a handle that “extends your reach up to 18 inches!” to help you wipe… comfortably. Thank goodness it’s 18″ long, because I have tiny T-Rex arms.

This quality American product is brought to us by TeleBrands, the company behind the ‘As Seen on TV’ stuff, as in the same company that brought us the Ped Egg: a cheese grater that removes the calluses from you feet and stores them in a convenient egg-like container for disposing or viewing your fresh skin shavings. They’ve also brought us Doggy Steps, the Get-a-Grip, Pedi Paws, the Hollywood Purse Hook, and EZ Combs among other shit. In short, they are one of the reasons people point and laugh at us, or bomb us. The Comfort Wipe has to be the weirdest, creepiest product yet.
