People who have trouble bending over can put on socks, stockings, slacks, shorts, pajama bottoms, panties and undershorts without additional assistance. A notch in the lower end helps remove shoes and socks. It consists of a pair of gently curved plastic handles that rock against each other along a section of intermeshing teeth molded into their inner surfaces. Each 19 (46 cm) long handle has a pad of hook-and-loop closure at one end to hold onto an article of clothing. Squeezing the other ends of the rods together spreads open the clothing for entry of the foot and leg.
