Fat Cult - May 2008

When you're obese and need help on the toilet

:  
Bottom Buddy helping obese people wipe their ass
LivingXL is a site that sells items for people that are a little larger. Well, not a little. A lot.


Obese. Fat, actually.

The item on their website that's drawing attention is the Bottom Buddy, pictured above.

$50 gets you this tool, which'll help you wipe your posterior after going to the bathroom.

"An award-winning, ergonomically designed bathroom aid that's hygienic and easy to use. 11" long with a curved handle, it has a soft, flexible head with three tulip-petal sections that securely grip any tissue or pre-moistened wipe. Once inserted, tissue covers the rounded head, and can be released using a push button on the handle."

Hmm... what's that award it won?

I'm not sure who this website is targeted towards, since the underwear models are rather normal-sized.

From the Reddit comments:


"These are not always products for fat folks. You will often find that people have trouble cleaning themselves when they get older or have medical conditions that make mobility difficult.

My sister was in a bad car accident and uses some products like this to make it easier to bath and still be able to do it herself. My Mom has bad arthritis and also uses some things like this product. So, don't go assuming it's all fat-asses. You too will grow old and may end up with some condition or disease you will have no control over."

Ah - a very good point. Although another commenter pointed out that these items are on LivingXL.com, and there's no one except the obese that needs a 1 200 lbs-capacity toilet seat.
