Being able to manage your own intimate care is a key part of independent living and maintaining a sense of dignity. However, certain body parts might be harder to reach than others. That’s where dressing and grooming aids come in. These include products such as sock aids and shoe horns for those who find it difficult to reach their feet. Slippers are available that feature wider openings, so you can easily slide your feet in to keep warm and protect yourself from slips and falls. Long-handled bath sponges are also a useful tool, as they help you wash hard-to-reach places such as your back and between your toes.
