I agree with some of the other people that an 'experience' gift would be cool, a concert or spa day, but those aren't always feasible so I'll give you some gift gifts that have worked great for my mom.

Handmade soap! I was gifted some from here a while ago and it is amazing.

Some necklaces here and here off of etsy. I'm getting the gold one for my mom, I love the other one too.

I just discovered this expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity called Crabs Adjust Humidity and it looks AMAAAZING. Getting that for the family for Christmas. While getting the link I just noticed there are a few volumes too. Basically from the preview they look 10x as outrageous as regular CAH.

Have you heard of Humans of New York? He put out two books, one of them is 'Little Humans' that focuses on the kids he's taken pics of. My mom used to be a kindergarten teacher so I think it'll be great for her, kinda depends more on what your mom is like or if she'd be into that sort of thing. The other book would be more 'universally liked' but this one just came out this year.

Your mom sounds kinda zany so she might like this book too. I've given his books for several gifts to various people. They're just super chill and a lot of the pics have a neat message. I tore out several pages and have them framed around my house so maybe even buying the book for yourself and framing a page could be cool.

I got my mom a Sephora perfume sampler thing for Mother's day. One of those that comes with like 10 mini vials and then with a coupon for a free full size bottle of whichever she liked best.

Is she into makeup stuff? A birchbox subscription could be cool. I used to have one, they send you samples and sometimes full sized items once per month. There are a number of companies that do that too so you could shop around.

This is....kind of weird... but seriously the reviews are amazing. And it actually is like the most healthy way to do it. I'm getting one for me and my parents for xmas. They have a two pack for cheaper. It's kind of awkward but if your family is like that (mine are a bunch of jokesters) then it might be fine!

Wellll that's about all I can think of right now, hopefully something helped!!

u/felineprotector · 2 pointsr/MtF

Yeah, insurance covered everything. I called the first week of March, had a consult by phone on March 22nd, and then scheduled for July 31st a few days later. I could have scheduled as early as May, but I needed more time for hair removal. This was right when she left Brownstein&Crane, so the timeline could be different now.

Dr. Wittenberg and her Nurse Practitioner Liz are both amazing. They're big on followup, and both visited me every day while I was in the recovery facility, then there were three weekly post-op visits. Sometimes I had difficulty getting ahold of the office by phone, but emailing Liz usually got a response/call back within an hour. I also had Dr. Wittenberg's personal number, but I never had to call her. If you don't live in the Bay Area and are going to be renting, I would try to pick somewhere close to her office, because driving sucks, especially on San Francisco hills. One thing that was nice was buying a toilet seat like this

Results wise I got 5.5 inches of depth, and I started off with 5 inches, I'm happy with it. While I haven't tried masturbating yet, I can tell that my clit is very much sensate. Aesthetics are great too, something I was worried about because it seems like a gamble, even with the most reputable of surgeons.

Also, I would say my mindset was like yours going in. It wasn't crazy 'I cry every time I have an erection' level dysphoria, but I certainly didn't like the situation. That plus all the reasons you mentioned made it seem like a good idea. It totally was. I don't think I knew how much dysphoria I was feeling because it was always present. That's solved now.

u/rielynn · 2 pointsr/xxfitness

> ..clam shells..

Of everything, I think these helped me the most pre-surgery. Everyone's FAI is different, but these really helped my strength. I recommend doing them with a resistance band above your knees.

> Do you recommend renting a CPM? Would you go with a hip brace looking back?

No, and no. :)

The CPM was a "nice to have," especially in the first week after my surgery when I didn't want to move/do much. However, if you have access to a stationary bike, I much preferred it. I started biking (0 resistance) after my first PT appointment, while I was still on crutches. For me, it got me out of the house (my husband had to drive), back into the gym (my happy place), and felt more productive than lying in a CPM for hours. The bike is a perfect substitute for the CPM. Note that you have to use an upright, not recumbent, bike; the recumbent places too much weight/stress on your hip.

I was so grateful not to have a brace, and I never felt that I need it. I did have to wear a knee brace for the first 24 hours, which forced me to keep my leg 100% straight. It made me want to DIE and the relief of stripping it off was immense.

I did have a set of 'anti-rotational booties.' These were neoprene wraps that went over your feet, fastened with Velcro, and then were velcroed together by a strap. I was supposed to wear them as much as possible, and absolutely while sleeping. These were... weird. I was super grateful to have them, because I did not have the strength to hold my leg straight/keep it from rotating out sideways. But after the two weeks, I was ready to chuck them right through a window. I was so sick of having my feet trapped while I was asleep and couldn't wait to be free of them.

> I used to do a lot of yoga but have scaled back to a handful of times a month (out of pure laziness). Do you do it anymore?

I don't, aside from the occasional warm up stretches before I lift. This was mostly due to laziness, but it also took a very long time for my flexibility to come back. There is a lot of scar tissue to break up, but there's a fine line between working on ROM and pushing a newly repaired joint too far. I found it VERY hard to be patient.

> Thank you again for the information! I really appreciate it!

Do you have any other questions? I'm happy to answer anything you can think of. Here's a few other things off the top of my head:

  • Crutch pads. I found these very helpful, especially for my hands. I had these Crutcheze pads
  • I also bought a toilet seat lift. Incredibly embarrassing, but basically essential. You will NOT be able to bend your hips into a 90 degree seated position after the surgery. I can't imagine going to the bathroom in that first week without something like this. Here's mine
  • In addition to the anesthesia, I had a nerve block in my operated leg. This took FOREVER to wear off, and it took me a very long time to regain full feeling in my leg. I've heard that a lot of people worry that this is permanent nerve damage, but it absolutely does go away... eventually. I think it took 4-6 weeks to fully wear off!
  • I had a mild allergic reaction to the adhesive in the dressings the surgeon used. My skin was red, rashy, and even blistered when I took the dressings off. This is probably unique to me, but I recommend having some gauze and medical tape on hand just in case. I couldn't even use bandaids because my skin was already so inflamed.
  • I had pretty serious painkillers, but got off of them ASAP - about 3 days post-op in my case. They make you crazy constipated, and I did worry about addiction. I started taking tylenol instead and it totally controlled my discomfort. DO take any antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers you are prescribed, though!
  • A few days/a week after your surgery, you will get cocky. Don't. I tried to go down the stairs a week after my surgery and almost fell... but my favorite sweatshirt was down there and no one was home to help me. Seriously, don't be me :)
  • My surgeon also had a list of supplements that he wanted me to take post-op. My list included Vitamin C, glucoasmine, and fish oil. If you don't already have a list, ask your surgeon or his team if they have any recommendations.

Clearly, such an advanced device cannot be made by yourself either.

u/Asclepius444 · 2 pointsr/ACL

Here are my suggestions if you are going to do this on your own (or even with help).

  1. The first 3 days you will be on meds every 2 hours around the clock. You cannot skip a single dose (even the 2 am ones!) or else you won’t be able to stay on top of the pain and spasms. You need to have an alarm set every 2 hours and have food on hand to take with the meds every time or else you will be nauseous and throwing up - which is the last thing you need. Therefore keep healthy food next to your meds and do it religiously.

  2. Get a raised toilet seat cover (Amazon for like $25). You won’t have someone to help you with the bathroom so this will be a lifesaver. (This is the one I bought - having the higher seat and the arms will make all the difference in the world - trust me!) raised toilet seat . It’s not just for going to the bathroom either, I found it to be the only right height for trying to change my clothes and undergarments so it becomes the only spot you can sit to stand reasonably well the first few days.

  3. If you have stairs to get into your apartment - line up a neighbor to help you get up them the first time after surgery. It’s very hard to do (but doable!) because your leg is braced completely straight - but the main issue is you will still be half out of it from the surgery anesthesia so you will have about 25% of your actual physical control as you do now on crutches. It will be impossible to do alone so ask the Uber driver or a neighbor to help. Trust me, anyone is willing to help if you ask for something like this even if you don’t know them yet.

  4. Talk to the hospital ahead of time - most will not discharge you (legally) unless someone is there with you to take you home. If you absolutely must take an Uber and not have someone you will need to get pre approval from the hospital or else they may not legally allow it.

"NZ invention" is a stretch. Here's one on Amazon for $19.99 (or $213.32 for a pack of 10! ???)

https://www.amazon.com/Squatty-Potty-Original-Bathroom-Toilet/dp/B00ESKVN7W/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542696554&sr=8-3&keywords=toilet+foot+stool

> "The Original Squatty Potty - Made in U.S.A. As seen on Shark Tank and The Howard Stern Show

> If you are a new squatter, the 7” is a great place to start or if consider yourself an advanced squatter, a 9" Squatty Potty will work best. Younger children should use a 9 inch Squatty Potty while teenagers tend to prefer the 7 inch height

> The Squatty Potty may feel different at first, but the body quickly adjusts and the new healthy way of eliminating quickly becomes second nature

> Doctor recommended / endorsed, Strong & durable, Family-friendly and weight capacity-350 pounds"

Would legit recommend, though!

u/strikkeislandhast · 65 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

YES. SO TRUE! My boyfriend and I kept telling ourselves stuff like "they can't be that good, we don't need one, blah blah."

We finally bought one because he saw a sale and we LOVE IT. We also got a squatty potty stool and it is great. The experience of pooping has been transformed. You can get both for like $60 or $70 bucks total on amazon.

Our bidet is this one and I got this squatty potty.

OP, seriously. Bidet. Squatty potty. You won't regret it. Except maybe you will then regret that not every toilet in your life is as richly equipped as the one at home. Pooping elsewhere sucks ):

u/morningcoffee4me · 3 pointsr/TheGreatAmazonPurge

Hello versaKT,

In reply to your comment to me...

Your original comment was

"That flat out guarantees you're paying more than if you bought directly from Amazon."

is why I brought up (again) that I paid less on Ebay for the same product sold on Amazon, and through the same vendor too. This is why I sent the links, 'cause you kind of stated that I was a dope and probably paid more. - Nope, not so, I paid less, and those links are proof.

---------------------------------------------

Now to address another question that you directed to me regarding the 'free shipping'.

I disputed their call on violations, stating that my reviews were on full price products and that they should have the AVP banner. I have attached (or rather copied) another email from Amazon to me.

Below the email is a screenshot of the entire invoice in question, for all the products on the order. Please note that after the $17.81 deduction is strictly the 'free freight' that is automatically applied on an amount that exceeds their order minimum (and available to "everyone and their dog's groomer's cousin's septic service gets free shipping every day") - but apparently these rules don't apply to me.

This is the screenshot of this particular invoice: Please note the $17.81 (promotion) was the applied free freight. First these were stripped of the AVP banner, than later Amazon decided that these products were all considered promotions, and therefore violations.

u/liferebootdotcom · 2 pointsr/DIY

Your grandma is using the towel rack to balance herself getting out of the shower or to help her while hoisting herself up off of the toilet. I had the same problem where I repaired the towel rack once and she just pulled it out of the wall again.

The more permanent solution is to install a grab bar mounted to wall studs, and to use the grab bar as a towel rack.

You will want to get a studfinder (a simple one with magnets that finds the large nailheads in the studs will suffice) and a 16" or 32" grab bar. The grab bar gets screwed into the studs (which live in the wall and are 16" apart). The grab bar is now your new towel rack. It has the added benefit of letting her balance herself and support her entire weight without issue.

Products I recently installed in my grandma's bathroom:
32" grab bar &
Toilet Safety Rail

Patch the holes from the existing towel bar with spackling compound and a spackling blade, sand flat after it dries, and mount the new grab bar into the studs. Good luck!

Edit: Adding a shopping list:

  • stud finder
  • spackling compound
  • spackling knife
  • 16" or 32" grab bar, whichever is more appropriate for the space
  • pack of drywall sandpaper
  • optional: toilet safety rail

Squatting on ceramic toilets is incredibly dangerous! I'm sorry that happened to you but glad you didn't die, or something.

Have you tried a squatty potty? Best thing ever. The poop slides out like butter.

u/SSnala · 1 pointr/OccupationalTherapy

I know I'm a little late but:

https://store.directsupply.com/Product/freedomwand-toilet-aid-4404296

I got a variation of this (very similar though) for a resident, but goal was for toileting. However, I noticed in the pamphlet that came with it that it could be used for other things, including holding a razor. It really did hold the toilet paper well, so I imagine it would be good for razor or other things as well. Since he may be able to use it for various activities, I would say this might be good?

It doesn't have a price on here, and I'm not quite sure how much it cost, but it wasn't ridiculous.

^^ same company/brand, so maybe it's in that price range.

u/zombiethoven · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

I would go ahead and consider an enema. You can buy fleet's or soap suds enemas but by far the most effective IMO are the glycerin suppositories. They may cause some cramping/digestive discomfort for a few minutes but they are the best for complete emptying. Take as needed until normal bowel function returns.

Make sure that you are incorporating plenty of fruits and greens in your diet and drink plenty of water. Switch to a non-constipating prenatal (look for chelate instead of regular Iron- still constipates but not nearly as bad). Also consider one of these https://www.amazon.com/Squatty-Potty-Original-Bathroom-Toilet/dp/B007BISCT0. I think it made the biggest difference in my ability to go.

I was skeptical about buying this gadget but am now glad I bought it. My doctor put me on a medication that put alot of weight on me. I am now morbidly obese at almost 300 lbs. I went from being the best arse wipper to not even being able to reach my arse. I tried all kinds of funny maneuvers in an attempt to wipe myself and threw my back out in the process. lol 😂Thats when I finally broke down and bought this thing. My oh my, my only regret was that I didnt buy it sooner. It will even spread open the biggest arse cheeks in all of mankind! It also has a release button and comes with a private pouch. If you have a medical dissabilty or mobilty issue, or are just plain fat like me, this will work for you.

OH!!! And I almost forgot... This might not work for everyone, but if you're feeling constipated/gassy... consider a Squatty Potty or an equivalent. This morning nothing was happening, stepped on the squatty potty and whoosh. Doesn't always work, but worth a try. And I would think quite easy to simulate without buying one.

u/stronglikedan · 4 pointsr/KratomKorner

As a 1 oz/day user, I poop regularly at 8 am each day. I even wake up at 8 to poop on days when I can normally sleep in. I rarely poop twice in a day.

I just make sure I do two things:

  1. Drink a 32oz tumbler of ice water with each dose. (I drink 4-5 of those a day anyway.)
  2. Eat a high fiber breakfast. (my fav)

    Another thing that helps, but is not necessary, is a squatty potty. I used to use it only when constipated (when on other opiates), but now I use it as much as possible, because it just feels right.

    Finally, when nothing else works, a 1/3 - 1/2 bottle of tart cherry juice will get things moving.

    The only thing that will for-sure-every-time constipate me is the capsules, so I avoid those like the plague.
u/explainmypayplease · 4 pointsr/CanadaPublicServants

I would have silently gifted her this. Because, fun fact, squatting is actually the most efficient way to get shit done (pun intended). Maybe she just wanted to be as efficient as possible and get back to work as soon as she could?

In conclusion, to be efficient at work but also to avoid the whole unhygienic footprints-on-toilet-seat situation, the solution is the Squatty Potty!!!

Wait... I'd imagine you'd still have to touch the Oreo while eating it even with the spoon. So like, the whole point of this product is that it's for people with fat hands that can't reach in the glass?

Wow. Disturbingly, this product reminds me of the toilet paper wand.

u/stormagnet · 2 pointsr/ehlersdanlos

Here's a weird one: a butter knife.

I use it to open cans that have a pull-tab top without wrecking my fingers. Stick the tip through the loop, lever up.

See also: an electric can opener, this giant pill organizer, these grab bars that can easily be installed in the tiniest of apartment bathrooms without starting an argument with your landlord (priceless!) combined with this hockey tape (put it on your grab bars and crutch handles to keep your hands from slipping) and these anti-slip stickers, (I even put the stickers on the bathroom floor.)

I've tried all of the brands, and Wet Ones Flushables are my favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Ones-Flushables-Personal-Cleansing/dp/B00006RZAT

We buy a couple cases off of buythecase.net and we're good for a long while.

My wife also carries a few of the individually wrapped ones in her purse at all times.

I have a whole commercial for these things that I tell people in person. Once you use wet wipes to wipe, regular toilet paper will piss you off.

u/Jochanaan · 8 pointsr/askgaybros

Try pooping the way nature intended-by squatting. Read some of the reviews for a product that makes it easier here!

u/LezBeOwn · 1 pointr/keto

There are tons of adaptive devices to help with that. We order them for patients who have difficulty with ADL's, for whatever reason, all the time.

I've also seen them look very much like kitchen tongs.

u/BorneoJewel · 3 pointsr/Advice

Hmmm, Have you tried standing up and then wiping your butt? Or even buy that product where you can clamp a tissue at the end of a stick and then you can wipe your butt more comfortably.

I think this is the thing that does it:

Going to the toilet: You can purchase a toilet seat riser or something similar. This will prevent you from bending your hip too much after surgery and will make it easier for you to get up. Available online or at durable medical equipment stores.

Also the people who viewed this item also viewed a vibrator with a suction cup end, and a vibrating wand fleshlight holder. Nice.

u/Cocobean4 · 3 pointsr/badunitedkingdom

Would it not be cheaper and easier to just buy toilet stools to squat on for anyone who wants one.

We are ahead of you in pooping techniques. You guys recently learned about squatting benefits and started buying these https://www.amazon.com/Squatty-Potty-Original-Bathroom-Toilet/dp/B00ESKVN7W

u/AustinTreeLover · 1 pointr/WTF

They actually make devices for this. I used to work with persons with disabilities and they make these plastic thingies (technical term) that hold the paper. I imagine someone like this might use a similar tool.

Example.

Thirding the bidet, and I'll recommend this one in particular.

I'll also suggest one of the various pseudo-squatting stools, such as the squatty potty.

Buy this and this.

"Flushable" is not a claim that is strongly regulated though.

u/cats_pjs · 3 pointsr/GetMotivated

the squatty pott

huh only $25. you can also just place an appropriately sized stool around your toilet, but for this price I think it's worth getting the right dimensions and not having to deal with moving a stool back and forth.

Well that's the real reason this was invented. So you can squat over the toilet and still get below parallel.

Amazon is running a sale on these right now. Buy one for $25 get the second one for $15. So, just under $40 for two. Works with 7" or 9" ecco styles.

u/MyHairIsParticular · 5 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

Honey, do you have a squatty potty and bidet? You could probably find both of them for around sixty bucks and they will change your pooping forever. I've also heard of people making their own squatty pottys from some wood and screws to save the $$$.

I know this wont stop the pooping, but it will make it more bearable.

Well if you always take shits that long, I recommend this. Since you probably don't have that, you'll probably need this.

u/ANewMachine615 · 6 pointsr/NoStupidQuestions

Regarding the bathroom questions: Some folks get cleaned by others. Other people use tools to extend their reach.

u/90sTrapperKeeper · 4 pointsr/trashy

This dilemma awoke the sick curiousity within me. Apparently there are a lot of products to assist extremely overweight people and their toilet hygiene.



One product is called the "bottom buddy" which even comes with a convenient travel container. The reviews are rather sad but entertaining in a way. Here is a 1-star review left by someone: "Found this to be basically unuseable. Several attempts to use, eject, and then use again resulted in torn, dirty tissue and feces on the device itself. This may work for light cleaning, but I don't see how it can be useful for heavy duty clean ups."

This reminds me of a story about a young male teen who broke both of his arms... ahem well no matter.

Basically...she's going to need help with everything requiring her hands. I broke just one wrist, I can't imagine how she functions with two broken wrists.

One thing I can suggest is if she doesn't own a good wardrobe of comfortable slip on/off pants (like baggy pajama pants basically) get her some. Fucking with buttons and zippers is not fun with a broken wrist.

There might even be some devices/tools you can get her to help be a little more self-sufficient, such as:

I have severe constipation also, but mine was caused from pain meds. A few weeks ago it was so bad I cried for days trying to pass my stool and almost went to the ER. Since that time I heard about this Squatty Potty and bought one, and I am telling you, it really WORKS!

The squatty potty seats you so your intestines are going straight up and down. Basically you sit down, put your feet up and the work is done for you. You can have a bowel movement with little or no effort. To me, it feels almost like it "falls out". For $25 it was worth EVERY PENNY to me.

u/boraca · 2 pointsr/keto

How much water are you drinking? Sitting on the toilet too long makes hemorrhoids worse, don't take your phone to the bathroom. Use something to keep your feet higher - there are stepping stools for that purpose. Edit: found one https://www.amazon.com/Step-toilet-stool-new-healthier/dp/B00G5PTWT4

u/hebephreniac · 1 pointr/Endo

So I've had two surgeries total, my bowel symptoms before my first surgery were lots of constipation, lots of bloating. Around my periods it would be very painful to poop, sometimes I would get diarrhea around my periods. Pooping took forever, probably because my bowel was adhered to the wall of my body and couldn't move normally. After my first surgery (excision and endometrioma removal) it was easier but I was still having significant pain around periods. My second surgery (excision, PSN, ovary removal) has helped a lot more. It is much much easier to go. I am also doing Miralax almost every evening, and using a squatty potty. In the mornings when I wake up, I will say the urge is more on the uncomfortable/verging on painful side than before my endo was bad. But I'm also still healing, and I definitely found from my last surgery that it took a few months for this to subside. It's not really too bad and it passes immediately after pooping.

u/vogueadishu · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

As much as I hate to say this... with all of my health problems, I really need this so that I don't struggle to get off the toilet anymore. It sucks trying to get up but I keep making excuses when I have the extra money to buy it and talk myself out of getting it.

Think this thing is weird? It sort of is, but its healthy as fuck, and will help you shit like a motherfucker. Now, don't get me wrong, I hate having white plastic anywhere in my house, I wish I could get everything made out of stainless steel, obsidian or slate, but the utility of these things really makes up for being unsightly - because being healthy makes you less unsightly anyway.

u/BadHeartburn · 53 pointsr/popping

Lot of good info here, but a few things are missing:

  • Use a sitz bath. Place it over the toilet seat, fill it with warm water and Epsom salts, and browse reddit for about fifteen minutes. Do this twice a day.

  • Use a Squatty Potty when you poop. It shifts the position of your abdominal muscles, allowing you to pass doodoo more easily and without straining. The last thing you want to do is squeeze that little fucker out even further.

  • Wipe your bum with medicated wipes. In addition to quenching the fire down below, they also feel goddam luxurious. Some people might tell you they're bad for your septic tank or sewage system. These people are damn, dirty liars. Do it anyway.

  • Sit on an ass donut any time you need to be seated for a while. In the car, at the office, having tea with the Queen -- the Ass Donut™ goes wherever you go!

    Several commenters have suggested using Preparation H or some other sort of cream. Do that, too. With abandon. Don't be shy about it, neither. Eventually, your new buttmate will quietly slink away into nameless oblivion.
