27'' Dressing Stick, Long Dressing Stick for Elderly, Disabled, Limited Mobility – Daily Living Dressing Aid Stick for Hip Replacement, Back, Shoulder Surgery - Dressing Aid for Pants, Shoes, Socks

EDIT: I just purchased a second one. It was available at roughly half price. It is not as good as the first one. I used it today and my fears were realized: the two parts almost split when I connected them, and when I used it to move something very lightweight, it almost broke completely apart. It’s a shame, because the first one is still in perfect shape. ORIGINAL review: This is a very well made, very sturdy dressing stick. I have used a similar one for over three years, but this new one has a larger circumference around the “stick” and I’m sure will last for years. If I would ever want another dressing stick (perhaps as a gift), I will definitely purchase one of these.

Life changing!! I also have a thinner one that came in a kit of helpful tools with my first hip replacement. Apparently one is not enough because as I move around the house or see a doctor, I discover I need that stick and it is not handy. So getting this 2 pack was the deal of my lifetime. They come apart for easy storing or transporting. I keep one in a tote bag on my walker, so I have it when I am out of the house, usually a doctor appointment. Both parts are in the tote bag, but separated. When put together, they are the same length as the one I got decades ago. They are not only useful for getting dressed, they help reach things. I find myself using them a lot even after I am healed from a surgery. They just make life easier for me. My husband sometimes laughs at some of the ways I use the dressing stick. He says I am creative. But they help with tons of things around the house. I don't use the hook end very often, but I do use it, however, the other end with the 2 white angled wires is really useful for me.

Very study. Good helpmate.i bought this for my husband after he had two others he owned broke. The design is a very useful help but II bought this one for him because it was more sturdy. I paid 29 95, so I thought it would be more sturdy. We received this stick Feb 17. It is now April 18. 18 This stick broke this morning April 18. We are very disappointed. I would not recommend spending this much thinking it would be sturdier.

This item did not work for my elderly mother. You need to have pretty good dexterity to manage. If she only needed it to remove her socks it would have worked well but not for putting on a shirt or jacket. I would have returned it but the cost of shipping it back was the same as the cost of the product. No pre paid label although it is not clear when buying that you will have to pay to ship back if returning. Disappointing experience all around

This item is valuable! I originally purchased to add height to assist with reaching top of shades without causing back pain. Works beautifully! Purchased a second one after, for daughter who has to open heavy doors on apartment dumpster & close back without touching. Keeps her hands clean! This tool is very well constructed and so very valuable! These aren't even its intended use!
