Common questions

Personal hygiene aids: your questions answered

Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about personal hygiene aids.

What are personal hygiene aids used for?

Personal hygiene aids are designed to support washing, bathing and personal care tasks that can be difficult due to reduced reach, grip or mobility, helping make everyday routines easier to manage independently.

What is a long-handled sponge used for?

A long-handled sponge has an extended handle that lets you wash your back, feet or other hard-to-reach areas without needing to bend down or overstretch.

Can personal hygiene aids help with skin conditions?

Personal hygiene aids are designed to make washing easier and gentler, but they aren't a treatment for any skin condition. If you have an ongoing skin concern, it's best to speak to a GP or pharmacist for advice.

Are personal hygiene aids suitable for use in the shower or bath?

Many personal hygiene aids are designed to be water-resistant and safe for use in the shower or bath, but it's worth checking the specific product description, as not all items are suited to wet areas.

Am I eligible for VAT relief on personal hygiene aids?
