Did I use a power rotary scrubber to exfoliate because having POTS makes my skin horrifyingly dry and also leaves me too exhausted to be able to do a good enough job?

Why yes. Yes I did. And I don't regret it for a second. That sucker did an incredible job (with a cloth attachment) and I highly recommend it to anyone who struggles to shower because of the energy required! Or anyone who has a hard time reaching (many have telescoping handles!) And using a brush on a stick doesn't give you enough leverage to also scrub well enough.

This is the one I've got. The top left attachment was the one I used and it was gentle enough not to damage my skin while still bring abrasive enough (combined with the rotary action) to exfoliate really, really well. And, like, my skin is so dry I constantly look like a molting snake. 10/10!!

Oh it's also really useful for it's intended purpose so, you know, bonus!!

#disability #disability accommodations #sometimes ya gotta repurpose the tools you have available #i refuse to feel any shame whatsoever for needing a power tool to wash myself #i think it's fucking hilarious that I thought to try it and I'm ecstatic that it worked so well #i was seriously verging on the point of needing someone to help me #not anymore!!#I didn't try it on my face cause rotating machine near long hair #recipe foe disaster even with it being fairly low torque #and my face started flaking and peeling before 12 hours was up. 48 hours later my arms and legs still aren't flaking #and usually they start the moment Immediately dry from the shower #cause I could never exfoliate well enough on my owm #seriously drastic quality of life improvement with this thing #and I can clean the tub with it afterward!!#using a different attachment of course lol
