"Hi!!
Thank you SO MUCH for sending the freedom wand to me. It gave me the
freedom to care for my own personal needs after surgery. I wouldn't have been
able to take care of my own grooming and daily 'cleansing' needs without it!
THANK YOU!! My children would have had to help me. This would have been
HUMILIATING for all of us. Thank you for saving my family from what would have
been a very embarrassing situation. God Bless your efforts as you give people
back their dignity. Keep designing.... I'd like to see the freedom wand have
other attachments that could be hooked on to it in the future!"
-Hope from Allegan
Thank you very much for this product. I have ordered a
similar product from another company but it was not as versatile as yours.
It came with a sponge attached to a head and the sponges were replaceable, the
problem was the sponges quickly fell apart leaving a horrid mess and tons of
pieces of blue sponge clogging up my tub drain. As a woman of ample size,
this is perfect.

I originally used Personal
Toilet Hygiene, then I found Bottom Buddy, and while searching for better
pricing or that, I ran into Freedom Wand. I liked the way this implement
grips and the fact that you could use other types of cleaning devices (ie:
sponge, wash cloths etc.) Thank you for shipping my order so quickly.
-Lucille O’Neill
I found your
product looking for a product called "self wipe". For my
purposes, your product fits my needs for personal hygiene. I had
purchased two other items whose intended use was for personal hygiene.
Both products' handles were not long enough. The use of a vacuum
crevice tool serves as a poor substitute for an extension. Neither of
them offers an extension like yours. Thank You

I wanted to let you know that Ethan is very pleased with the
Freedom Wand. I didn't push it on him - I knew it had to be something he tried
when he was ready - but we opened the package together and examined it, and I
explained about how to make the tissue "pom pom" and to insert enough
into the graspers to get a good grip. Yesterday, about a week after giving the
wand to him, he finally decided to give it a try. He was so happy with it that
he plans to order a second one for when he goes out. Thank you so much for
coming up with this product and giving Ethan, and people like him, back a bit
of dignity and independence!
Thank you again, Misty
Hi Deb! I am happy to say my father LOVES his
Freedom Wand!!! He just had a bout of Stenosis induced neck and arm pain and couldn't
have wiped himself had it not been for the Freedom Wand. The head was exactly
what he needed! I told my niece about it because she is an occupational
therapist and she was very interested in the Freedom Wand. I told her to check
out the website. She is a Christian also, and I made sure I told her that you
are too and that you have a fabulous product and philosophy. If her clients
need something for their toileting needs, I told her to be sure and recommend
the Freedom Wand. Hope she sends some business your way!
DEAR DEBORAH,
MY MOM IS 77 AND SHE FELL AND
BROKE HER RIGHT ARM. OFCOURSE SHE IS RIGHT HANDED AND I DON’T THINK I NEED TO
EXPLAIN WHAT KIND OF DIFFICULTIES AROSE. SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS
SUCH A THING AS A “WIPE-AID”. I BEGAN MY GOOGLE SEARCH. I THINK I FIRST
SEARCHED UNDER TOILET-AID AND THEN PERSONAL WIPE AID. THERE WERE TWO OTHER
WIPING TOOLS THAT I LOOKED INTO ALSO. I KEPT COMPARING ALL OF THEM AND
ENLARGING THE PICTURES ETC. THE OTHER TWO WERE MARKED DOWN SO THAT WAS TEMPTING
BUT ALSO MADE ME THINK THERE MAY BE A REASON. I WAS INTERESTED IN THE BEST
DESIGN I COULD FIND. THE FREEDOM WAND WAS IT. I ALSO READ THE TESTIMONIALS
WHICH MADE ME SURE IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE. I DID NOT TELL MY MOM WHEN I ORDERED
IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAST IT ENDED UP IN MY MAILBOX. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY
MOM WAS THRILLED. IT IS MADE WELL, IS EASY TO USE, AND I HAVE ONLY POSITIVE
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THIS TOOL!!!!! IN EVERDAY LIFE
WE TAKE SO MANY THINGS FOR GRANTED. LOOSING A PERSONAL FUNCTION ALL OF A SUDDEN
IS SOMETHING WE DO NOT THINK ABOUT UNTIL IT HAPPENS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
E-MAIL AND THE WONDERFUL AND EFFICIENT BUSINESS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS
ORDER. LAST BUT NOT LEAST TO THE DESIGNER OF THE FREEDOM WAND WHO TOOK THE TIME
TO MAKE SUCH A VERSATILE AND WONDERFUL PERSONAL AID
DEVICE.
-GREATFULLY….DEBRA WATSON AND MY MOM…GLORIA…GOD BLESS…

I would like to endorse the Freedom Wand for anyone who is handicapped or has trouble with personal cleansing. I have found the Freedom Wand extremely helpful. It has been a real answer to prayer for me. I also have need of applying medicine in the personal areas twice a day. I use the little sponge cosmetic wedges to apply this prescription creme and it works very well. Thank you so much for inventing the Freedom Wand and may God bless you.
-Paul R. Wright
I ordered the replacement head for my original wand because I didn't want to go a day without it. My original one has started to separate a bit on the end, (probably from over stuffing the grabber fingers).
I have been disabled with neck, back, hip and knee pain and I really had gradually gotten very down and depressed about not being as "clean" as I used to be. But, my best friend ordered the original wand as a gift to help me feel more independent. Since then I have gradually felt more free to leave my home as a result.
I added a comment to the survey that I have found that the Costco Kirkland brand case of baby wipes work very nice with the wand. They are moist but unscented and no alcohol. The only disadvantage is they are not flushable but that can be dealt with. The combination of using the wipes with the wand now keep all private areas squeaky clean.
Thank you for this invention!
