Getting to the toilet safely and managing continence challenges are things most people never expect to have to think about until they do. Our range covers everything from raised toilet seats and toilet frames to commodes and portable urinals, with practical options for use at home, in a care setting or when travelling.
Our range covers two distinct needs. The first is making the toilet itself easier and safer to use: raised seats reduce how far you need to lower yourself, frames and grab rails provide stability when sitting and standing, and combined seat and frame units give you both in one. The second is providing alternatives when getting to the toilet is not always possible: commodes, bed pans and portable urinals all serve that purpose, whether for night-time use or for anyone who is less mobile or bed-bound.
Most products are discreet in design and straightforward to fit without professional help. For anyone managing incontinence alongside mobility challenges, Natasha, our occupational therapist, covers both the practical and rehabilitative side in detail in her guide to incontinence management, which is worth reading alongside browsing the range.
The most commonly used are raised toilet seats, which reduce the distance you need to lower and lift yourself, and toilet frames, which fit around the toilet and give you armrests to push up from. Grab rails on the wall beside the toilet are also useful, particularly if you need support on one side more than the other. Many people use a combination of all three. Our raised toilet seats and toilet frames pages have the full range of each.
A bedside commode is the most practical option for regular night-time use. It sits next to the bed and removes the need to walk to the bathroom in the dark, which reduces fall risk considerably. Portable urinals are a lighter, simpler alternative for urination only, and are available in designs for both men and women. If leakage during the night is also a concern, a waterproof mattress protector or absorbent bed pad alongside either option gives you extra reassurance. As Natasha notes in her guide to incontinence management, managing nocturnal toileting sensibly is far better for your health than restricting fluids, which can make other conditions considerably worse.
The two most useful aids are a raised toilet seat, which reduces how far the person needs to bend, and a toilet frame or grab rail, which gives them something to push up from and lower themselves against. Used together they work well for most people. If the person needs more substantial support, a combined seat and frame unit, such as a commode-style toilet aid, may be a better fit. Natasha, our occupational therapist, advises that understanding which movements are most restricted is the key to choosing the right combination, and that an OT assessment can be invaluable if you are unsure.
A toilet frame fits around your existing toilet and provides armrests on both sides. It stays in place and is used in the bathroom. A commode is a freestanding chair with a removable toilet pan underneath that can be placed anywhere in the home, most commonly next to the bed. Commodes are particularly useful when walking to the bathroom is difficult or unsafe, or for night-time use. Some commodes can also be used directly over a toilet, effectively doubling as a toilet frame, which makes them a versatile option.
Yes, we stock a range of products to help manage incontinence more discreetly, including shaped pads, protective underwear and waterproof bedding. Natasha covers the full picture in her guide to incontinence management, including advice on product selection, bladder retraining and what to expect from an OT assessment. She also explains that continence issues affect people of all ages and for many different reasons, and that early advice tends to make a significant difference to long-term outcomes.
