How can I make grooming easier if I have arthritis?

Here are some tips to make grooming easier if you have arthritis: Substitute a wash mitt or soft sponge for the usual washcloth. Sponges are usually easier to use if your hands are weak. Telescoping mirrors let you sit down when grooming.

Telescoping mirrors clamp to the side or sit on top of your vanity; they feature adjustable, swivel-type necks that may easily be moved to various positions. Look for one with a double-sided mirror -- one side is a regular mirror and the other side is magnified, making it perfect for makeup application or shaving. You might also consider installing mirrored tiles at various heights on the bathroom walls.

Pop-up tissues are easier to grasp than the kind that lie flat in the box. End shaving with electrolysis. If you have heavy leg or underarm hair, and it is difficult for you to hold or maneuver a razor, consider investing in electrolysis.

Once the hair is removed, you will have only smooth skin, no more shaving and no more nicks, cuts or razor rash. Trim your toenails with long-handled scissors. To give you better leverage and make cutting easier, look for scissors with serrated, stainless steel blades and long handles (81?2 inches) that angle upward.

Molded finger and thumb grips help hold the scissors securely in your hand. Look for these and other long-handled personal care products at drug or home health stores.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
