A bean shaped recess holds the paper in place for cleaning. The push button at the other end releases the paper or wipe after use. The product is supplied with an opaque carry case.

More Details

Method Of Use
Select the desired length of toilet tissue.
To achieve the best results, this should be approx 6 sheets long.
Take the length of tissue and fold it in half.
Hold the body of the Easy Wipe and tuck one end of the toilet tissue into the bean shaped recess.
Wrap the tissue paper around the head of the soft wiper end once and tuck the loose end into the same recess of the underside.
The recess will hold the toilet tissue in place for cleaning.
The Easy Wipe may be used to clean the vaginal and anal area following toileting.
Whilst seated on the toilet it is recommended that the device be used either from the front between the legs or from behind.
After wiping, the soiled toilet tissue or wipe is automatically ejected by pushing the button at the end of the Easy Wipe and disposed of into the toilet.
