A new razor extension has been hailed by pregnant women who say they can finally shave their legs.

A gadget called Giraffe means customers no longer have to bend down.

And it’s racked up plenty of favourable reviews.

One woman said: “This helped me out big time! I’m currently pregnant and it was difficult to shave during the shower due to my growing belly.

“With the razor extender, it did not put any pressure on my back.”

The product description for the device, on sale at a number of beauty sites, says: “Giraffe Bath & Body designed the Giraffe Razor Extension Handle specifically to assist women who were unable to shave their legs due to limitations in flexibility and mobility.”

It adds that it is ideal for pregnant women and those with injuries.

The description states: “All of these conditions decrease flexibility and mobility and therefore, make shaving difficult if not impossible with a short-handled razor.

“And as a result, some women just “give up” on shaving their legs entirely or resort to a caregiver or loved one to carry out this personal daily care routine.”

One reviewer wrote: “If you have trouble reaching and still want to shave your legs, I recommend this handy device.

“I have had mine for over a year and do not know how I survived without it.”

Another said: “I NEVER take the time to write reviews. So let me say how amazing this tool is!

“I don’t shave nearly as often as I should because it’s such a pain.

“I have back pain and we have a tiny shower. This gave me the freedom to shave without bending over at all.”
