I saw the BubbaStik at a gas station about 6 years ago and immediately realized its comfort for the taller person and its stability for a woman "of size" (like me): I bought it immediately although I did not need a cane at the time.
Nearly all canes cause a person to stoop over when using them which is simply ridiculous......but the BubbaStik is ingenius and so practical !!! 1) I can put my BubbaStik in front of me when getting up from a low chair, put all of my weight on it, and get up with ease. 2) When I hurt my knee 3 years ago I used my BubbaStik to help me lift and/or position my leg effortlessly as well as walk upright. 3) I use my BubbaStik for extra support when I climb up or down stairs. 4) I use my BubbaStik for extra support when I get in or out of the car. 5) My BubbaStik was a lifesaver on a recent Amtrak trip as getting into or out of the railway car required a "giant step" up and down. 6) because most of my weight is in my stomach, being able to walk upright with my BubbaStik when my back is hurting is a huge blessing ! 7) I also use my BubbaStik for stability when getting into or out of the shower by holding onto the tub's safety bar and leaning on my BubbaStik which is on dry the bathroom floor. 8) and, of course, my BubbaStik is my ever ready LEGAL "body guard"
Whenever I found a BubbaStik for sale I always bought one and gave it as a gift because so many people just don't realize the difference it makes in the quality of life of anyone who needs a body support of any kind.
Now that I just found your website I can buy one anytime I want to and I will buy often !!!
The greatest testimony to the quality and usefulness of the BubbaStik is that in 6 years I have NEVER found even one for sale on eBay and this is the ONLY item I have ever searched eBay to buy that I could not find !!!
SO !!! To anyone considering buying a BubbaStik for themselves or as a gift just DO IT !!!
