Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a disposable sanitation device for cleaning the anal region. It includes a double ended band and a quantity of wiping paper wrapped around a section of the band. The band is held at each end and moved or pulled in a back and forth motion across the anal region, thereby removing any fecal matter from the anal region. The wiping paper can be toilet paper, tissue paper, a dry wipe, a moist wipe, a moist towelette and variations therof. The band can be made of wax paper, plastic, paper or foil. The wiping paper can be permanently or removably attached to the band. The invention also includes a bag for containing the sanitation device when not in use. The method of using the device involves providing a double ended band, wrapping a quantity of wiping paper around a section of the band, and moving the band across the anal region while holding it at each end, thereby removing any fecal matter from the anal region."
Problems solved by technology
However, cleansing these areas can be very difficult for arthritic or handicapped people, including the physically impaired, that have restricted ranges of body movement.
Also, obesity and the problems associated with this condition can sometimes make traditional after-toileting sanitation methods impossible.
When it is not possible to properly cleanse one self after defecating or urinating, personal hygiene suffers.
Either situation is unpleasant for the parties involved, and is humiliating for the person who requires assisted cleaning.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to sanitation devices. More specifically, this invention relates to a disposable double-ended sanitation device having a quantity of wiping paper wrapped around a section of the device, which allows a physically impaired person to clean their anal region with comfort and convenience.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]After defecating and / or urinating, people typically use toilet paper to cleanse their rectal and / or genital regions. The traditional method of using toilet paper requires the individual to hold the toilet paper in his or her hand while attempting to clean the anal areas. However, cleansing these areas can be very difficult for arthritic or handicapped people, including the physically impaired, that have restricted ranges of body movement. Also, obesity and the problems associated with this condition can sometimes make traditional after-toileting sanitation methods impossible.[0003]When it is not possible to properly clean...
