Many people find as they get older that their feet seem to get further away !
In the past when I have had excruciating back pain washing my feet to wash them was nigh on impossible. Several products have come to market in recent years proclaiming to solve the problem of washing your feet when you can no longer reach them and vary in price, quality and functionality.
Washing feet when you can’t reach is a problem. Not only is it the matter of good hygiene but is also beneficial in ensuring good circulation especially important to anyone who has diabetes.
I like to look of this one, no firm bristles to tickle me!
These seems popular although re the pumice does not last too long and appears to be difficult to clean.
These are the JML shower sandals.
To be honest these seem to do the job as well as more expensive examples available. One word of caution though, they do not stick well to baths or shower trays with raised surfaces ( anti slip “bumps”)
These are the most expensive and sometimes you do get what you pay for.
Not cheap but very, very good.
I can’t bend over to wash my feet in the shower at the moment as my hip is playing up, so it is a godsend.
It really gives the top and bottom of my feet a good wash, and even gets between my toes. Since the wife has to do up my sandals she is a lot happier that she doesn’t have to hold her breath while she does it.
I recommend…(Mike Wetherspoon)
As a 6ft 4ins mid 50’s Diabetic keeping my feet in good condition is very important to me. Due to my height bending over in the shower was starting to become difficult.
NOW, with this sandal my feet especially in between my toes get the attention they need with ease. It leaves my feet clean & refreshed. I would highly recommend this product to other diabetics & people who find it difficult to keep their feet clean.(Martin)
This mat offers a higher degree of stability although I am not sure it will was between the toes effectively
