A disability must have
Perfect reasonably priced, and I love the wall hanging hooks.

Some manual dexterity needed to use these toilet assist tongs, ok for short term
The Awaiymi Tongs for toileting look exactly as pictured. They operate and look like cooking tongs, except that the end is angled slightly, about 20 degrees. They are also fairly lightweight. The description says that this comes with a plastic box, but I only received the 2 tongs and 2 plastic hooks in a plastic bag. The longer 16″ one, is a little too long for me and awkward to use, but it might be useful if someone has an extremely limited reach or is lying down. It works ok if you wrap several squares of toilet paper around the end and tuck the paper inside the clamp. Once you open the clamp, the paper will rip and can be shaken off the end. This is ok if you need assistance temporarily, but if daily longer term assistance is needed, you might want to research additional aids.If the user has any dexterity issues with the hands, this could be more troublesome than it’s worth, because you have to manipulate the handles to open and close the tongs. These are not very portable or discreet either. I’d definitely have to hide these before having any visitors. They may have a purpose as a reaching tool if you have limited range of motion in the hips and waist. I was able to use them to fish out some utensils that fell into the bottom of the dishwasher.

Works as intended
I had a 17 level spine fusion and there was no way I could wipe myself. The occupational therapist at the hospital and rehab recommended to go to the dollar store and get cheap kitchen tongs. I forgot to do that and got these instead since I was home bound right after discharge.This set comes with 2 lengths of tongs. They are both quite sturdy and have rubber on the important bits. The long ones are impossible for me to use. I’m a small female and the tongs are looooong. They would be useful for someone larger with a longer reach. The shorter tongs worked well for me. It takes a bit of practice to load up the toilet paper then maneuver it to the area of concern, wipe then release the paper into the toilet. About the same effort as using the toilet buddy type tool. It’s not difficult but will take a couple trials to figure out what works for you. Thankfully I was given a bidet attachment and that has been a blessing for sure.These tongs work as intended. They are well made. Kitchen tongs from the dollar store would accomplish the same results. And a bidet is even better.

Hard to use on yourself, but a god’s gift for someone helping you
This is not the most exciting thing to buy/review but great to have if you need it. I got this because I take care of my elderly dad who needs assistants.For starters, I would not recommending using this on yourself unless if you have good balance or if you are overweight. If you can’t use your hand yourself, this would be just as hard because you don’t have a good balance while trying to use it.The tong itself are solid. They don’t bend or flex and the soft tips at the end helps. I had good control while assisting my dad with it.It comes with two hanger hook. This is great because you don’t want to lay this on the ground or the sink after you are done even after you cleaned it off.Overall this is a good product and very helpful for someone in my situation.
