First off, this is real, unless internet parodies now come with working, relevant 1-800 numbers. (I took the time to call, which makes me the Bob Woodward of bloggers.) Secondly, though they try to dance around the issue of why the Comfort Wipe exists with red herrings like the inherent disgustingness of toilet paper, and shoulder injuries, it becomes clear at the :42 mark that they know and we know exactly why this product exists. Like The Body Snake, the thing that helps you wash your body when you're unable to touch most of it, this product exists because apparently one of the afflictions of morbid obesity is the inabilty to wipe one's butt.

I can't even imagine how germy one of those things is. The next time I'm tempted to eat fast food or something, I'm going to remember that nothing tastes as good as being able to wipe your own ass feels. (Via Buzzfeed.)
