When Your Arm Won't Reach Around To Wipe Anymore, Stop Asking It To.
This rechargeable handheld bidet is used from the front, so water reaches where your arm no longer comfortably can.
- No installation
- No squeezing
- One button
Let's talk about the one thing nobody talks about: wiping.
For a lot of women over 60, especially in a bigger body, it gets a little harder every year. The arm doesn't make it all the way around anymore. The twisting hurts. And afterwards you still don't feel quite clean.
Nobody brings it up. Not with friends, not at the doctor's office, often not even with a husband of 40 years.
Does any of this sound familiar?
It almost never starts all at once. It creeps up over a few years. Tap the ones you recognize:
If you checked two or more, you're not alone. Not even close. It just never comes up at the lunch table.
It's not you. It's the method.
Arms don't grow. Bodies change. Shoulders get stiffer, knees and hips don't love twisting, and some of us have more of ourselves to reach around than we did at 40. None of that is a failing.
Toilet paper only works if your hand can get back there.
So does almost everything else you've been offered. That's why none of it stuck. And "just lose some weight" is advice, not a bathroom plan. You need something that works this week.

Let the water do the traveling
Think about the shower. You can't reach the middle of your back with a washcloth either. Nobody worries about it. The shower gets it anyway.
Your arm doesn't need to travel.
The water does.
That's the whole idea behind BumBum. (Yes, really. The name is the most embarrassing thing about it.) It's a small handheld bidet, about the size of an electric toothbrush. Your hand stays in front. A little motor sends the water back.
Scoot forward a little before you start. It gives you room, and the water does the rest.
If your tummy is in the way: lean back a little, or lift it gently with your free hand. That's what the free hand is for.
Expect a try or two. The first time the angle might be off. The second time, you'll know.
"I thought there was no way this would work for my size."
"But I could use it from the front without twisting around. After two tries I had the angle figured out. Now it stays in my purse."

What women our age are saying
"I used to get back in the shower every afternoon."
"My arm just doesn't go around anymore, and I never felt done. Now I hold it in front, press the button, one pat with the paper. I can't remember my last afternoon shower."
Tulsa, OK
"I stayed for lunch after church for the first time in a year."
"I fill it at the sink, take it into the stall, done. In my purse it looks like a travel toothbrush. Nobody has ever asked."
Knoxville, TN
"I'd given up on the squeeze bottle. This is different."
"You can't squeeze and aim behind you when you can't reach behind you. With this I just hold it still in front and press one button. The little motor does the rest."

Where it goes with you
Here's the part that surprises people. It's not really about the bathroom at home. It's about all the other bathrooms.
Fill it at the sink before you go into the stall. Afterwards it goes back in your purse.
No more knowing exactly how far you are from your own bathroom.
Questions women ask before they try it
"I'm a big woman. Will this really work for me?"
You don't reach around, so the length of your arm stops mattering. Hold it from the front, scoot forward a little, and give yourself two tries to find the angle.
"Do I need a plumber or an electrician?"
No. Nothing gets installed. You hold it in your hand.
"I'm not good with gadgets."
One button. If you can use an electric toothbrush, you can use this. It charges with a USB-C cable like a phone, and the company says about 2 hours of charging lasts up to 4 weeks.
"Does it warm the water?"
No. You fill it with warm water from the tap. Takes ten seconds.
"Will I still need toilet paper?"
Yes, to pat dry. Usually one pat, from the front. It may help reduce how much paper you use.
"How do I clean it?"
Rinse it under the tap. A little soap now and then.
"Can my husband use mine?"
Better if he has his own. That's what the 2-pack is for.

If you're reading this for your mom
Maybe you've noticed things. Longer in the bathroom. Skipping outings she used to love. A second shower in the afternoon. Something in the laundry.
She's not going to bring it up. Please don't make her. Don't make a speech. Don't leave a pamphlet. Just leave it on her bathroom counter, next to her toothbrush, with a little note:
She'll figure out the rest. And she'll never have to say a word about it.
"I bought the 2-pack: one for me, one for my mom."
"She'd never bring it up, so I left it on her bathroom counter with a note. A week later she asked me where she could get one for her purse."

You've worked around this long enough
Years of twisting. Of planning. Of saying "next time."
You don't have to reach anymore. You just have to hold it from the front.
The Buy 2, Get 1 Free deal is on right now. Check availability before the holidays.
P.S. If you remember one thing from this page: get the one with the button, and hold it from the front. The water reaches where your arm can't.
