Specialist Toilets
An automatic showertoilet combines the functions of loo and bidet in one unit, enabling many disabled people to use the toilet unaided.
There are purpose-built units, and various add-on "bidet toilet seats" which can be fitted to an existing toilet.

Purpose-built showertoilets
The
Clos-o-Mat (the new Palma is shown left) was invented more than 40 years
ago and is made in the UK and marketed by Total Hygiene.
The Geberit Shower Toilet (the new Balena 8000 AP Care is shown above) is the alternative.
Both have been designed to offer independence and privacy for disabled users.
A range of remote control options is available, to make them even more adaptable, as well as specialised accessories such as padded seats, height raising plinths and octopus support arms.
Add-on bidet toilet seats
As
well as purpose-built showertoilets, there are also conversion units available,
that add a bidet function to an existing standard toilet. These retro-fit
solutions are a more economical option, and range from basic to very luxurious.
Practical Bathing's WRAS-approved Bio Bidet (right) provides a complete
wash and dry cycle with full control of positioning, 
temperature
and duration - all via the simple and hygienic remote control pad.
Ascot Hygiene's Jasmin bidet toilet seat (left) is a remote controlled unit which includes features such as adjustable warm water washing, warm air drying, odour extraction - even a heated toilet seat for chilly mornings!
