drying feet

because of a bad back and also getting old I have trouble reaching my feet to dry them after showering. Drying between toes is very difficult.
Does anybody have any tips to help please?

I don't think I've ever really dried my feet. They just dry by themselves in the air. Unless you need to put socks on immediately can you just leave them for a couple of minutes?

Maybe drop a towel on the floor and scrunch your toes up and down on it I'd you want it to be speedier?

I agree, I never dry my feet specifically. Definitely can't being pregnant currently. I just get out of the bath or shower onto a bath mat and that dries the bottom of them and then they air dry fairly quickly.

I never dry my feet/between my toes. I stand on a bath mat, and then they air dry by the time I dry the rest of me.

Thanks for all your answers. I think I'm going wrong here and will do the method above.

p.s. to above, the only luxury I allow myself in the beauty field is having my feet done and the first thing she does is look between my toes!

Maybe she's looking for Athlete's foot? As that can be quite contagious I think so she would need to disinfect before the next customer.

Sit down with your feet up, spread your toes & blast them with a hairdryer?

I put a foot up on the toilet seat (lid down!) and I can then reach to dry in between.
Lakeland plastic did a toilet tissue holder for wiping nether regions, we bought one for mil and it held a dry flannel which she poked between her toes to dry. She sat on a stool whilst doing so. Seemed to work well.
A long handled pick up stick would probably do the same.

Thanks again everybody. I think I'm going to try the foot up on the toilet seat method. The hairdryer also sound possible. Failing that I'll let them dry by themselves.
