W99 when did your problem start? If it's recent then it could be a covid related thing.

Alternatively, you could get braces and put your socks and pants on in stages as the day progresses. I don’t think anyone will notice as I see most young men with their pants well below the waist and hips - it’s a wonder how they keep those pants up midway - worth a shot


That's what I would have suggested too, Minx.


Also W99, if you can't bend down, can you not sit on the side of the bed or a chair, and bring your feet up towards you to pull your socks and pants on instead?

I wear popsocks and no if W99 ‘s like me . Can’t reach the feet to put them on even sitting in a chair or on the side of the bed . Something in the spine or hips preventing this which is why people need sock aids .
Putting underwear on however is no problem either standing or sitting .

Gosh, sorry about that Zuleiker, that sounds rotten.
W99 said he can do his later though, but can you not manage later even?
