Thank you for coming.<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  Thanks for having me.  Do you need me to wipe your crack?<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  No, I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  Well if you need to, just let me know.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  Thanks.  I appreciate that.  So how did you get started with helping people wipe their asses?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  I guess it was just something I was born to do.  Personally, I think in a previous life, I must&#8217;ve done some horrible things and as punishment I was reincarnated into a Comfort Wipe.  I guess some folks get reincarnated into cockroaches and others become tools specifically made to wipe asses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  Help me imagine the type of person who would need you.  Who are your clients?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  I deal mostly with those who are unable to reach down there, like disabled people who have limited dexterity.  When it comes to helping them, I feel like I&#8217;m doing some good in the world and building up karma so that if I get reincarnated again I&#8217;ll end up being a beautiful butterfly or something that doesn&#8217;t involve being in between butt cheeks.  Although I think that won&#8217;t be happening for a long time since I&#8217;m made out of a plastic that will take forever to decompose.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  But what about those who aren&#8217;t disabled?  What are your thought about <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.comfortwipe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">you being marketed to those who don&#8217;t seem to need it<\/a><\/u>?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  I don&#8217;t understand it.  Are there people out there so prudish that they&#8217;re afraid to wipe their own asses?   Sure, occasionally, the toilet paper can rip and your finger can accidently end up in your butt hole, and cleaning up after a bad case of diarrhea can get messy, but those instances are so rare, unless you have crappy toilet paper or eat Taco Bell every single day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  So how do you work?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b> Well, take about three sheets of toilet paper and fold it in half.  Take one end of the folded toilet paper and put it into my mouth.  Then take the other end, wrap it around my head and also place that end into my mouth.  My mouth will keep it in place.  Then take my head in between your legs, with my mouth facing down, place it near your anal area and then wipe.  Thankfully, because my mouth is facing in the opposite direction, I can&#8217;t toss your salad, even though I spend just as much time in between butt cheeks as someone&#8217;s bitch in prison.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  Once we&#8217;re done wiping, how do we get rid of the toilet paper stuck to you?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  Just press the button on the top of the handle and my mouth will let go of both ends of the toilet paper.  You may have to shake me a little since my head is made from a rubber-like material that has some tackiness to it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  How effective are you at cleaning down there?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  If you were to use your hands, you&#8217;d get a more thorough cleaning.  I&#8217;m not saying this because I don&#8217;t like being jammed in between a person&#8217;s buttocks.  But I&#8217;ve got court-side seats to what goes on down there so I know how effective I am and, to be honest, I don&#8217;t get you 100 percent clean.  If you&#8217;re anal retentive, pun intended, you definitely won&#8217;t be satisfied.  Also, if you&#8217;re using me to clean down there, you&#8217;ll probably end up using more toilet paper than if you were doing things by hand.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  So you&#8217;re kind of a pain in the ass? Pun intended.<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  It seems so.  Another thing I should point out is that it&#8217;s suggested that I be cleaned after each use, but I can&#8217;t be immersed in water.  Instead I should be cleaned with a moist wipe or a soft disposable cloth and mild soap, and then dried off with a soft disposable towel. <\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  Wow.  That seems extremely wasteful.<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  Yes, it is.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer:<\/b>  One final questions.  Is there anything you would like to say?<\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort Wipe:<\/b>  All I want to say is, I&#8217;m sorry for whatever I did in my past life to become reincarnated as a Comfort Wipe.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Note: If you&#8217;d like to see a video of this interview, it&#8217;s embedded below.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tBs2HHRHsWA&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Ideaworks Comfort Wipe<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $9.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  15.75 inches<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Amazon<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10 (for those with limited dexterity)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  5 out of 10 (for almost everyone else)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Good for those people with limited dexterity.
