A more comfortable loo.. one of the most obvious solutions is to raise the height of the seat, so you don't have so far to go. This can be achieved with a height-raising plinth and/or a raised toilet seat (left).
Secondly,
some kind of support as you get up and down can make a big difference.
This may take the form of an angled rail at the side of the toilet, a
hinged support attached to the wall (see last
page), or some kind of frame.
One of the newer developments is this type of multi-functional product (right), which can be used either as a commode chair, or with its pan removed as a sturdy free-standing support / raised toilet seat when placed over the toilet. The arms can assist with rising, and the seat can also be angled slightly forwards to make the task easier.
A
powered seat that gently assists with rising to the standing position
is also helpful (left).
These seats can be fitted to most standard toilets, and used as a normal seat when in the lowered position. There are both battery powered and hydraulic models available.
This one has touch controls built into the armrests.
