Jeeze, it is so humiliating posting this but I need advise. I am paralysed from T 8/9 and it is complete. I take laxitives, bowel softners, etc.. But I still need a suppository inserted and my stubby little arms cant reach around and under my bug butt!! lol So, there is this mechanism called the Ableware Suppository Inserter. It is supposedly spring loaded and places the suppository where needed to have progress with my bowel program but before i pay $100+ and rocket propel a suppository up there I wanted to get some advise from anyone that has or is in my same predicament. I will be travelling and spending the nights in hotels within a few months with my job. Right now my poor Mother is burdened with the task of doing this but i wont have her or anyone else traveling with me so I must take over this daunting task.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

This does the same thing, but cheaper. Haven't tried it, but I also have short arms and would need to use something like this if a suppository was needed. Mixed reviews.
