As my grandmother’s caregiver, I had become frustrated with trying to sanitize the wobbly plastic toilet seat riser she had to use. The contraption was necessary, because she had her hip replaced and was unable to lower to and rise from the existing (low) toilet seat in her house. The challenges were multiple, having to remove it and clean it between uses. We would sometime forget to replace the toilet seat attachment, and find ourselves rushing at the last second to put it back into place. At the same time we’re attempting to steady her onto the toilet, there were times I had to hold it in place to prevent it from slipping out from under her. In hind-sight, I only wished there was a better way to lift her toilet seat a few inches to eliminate all the hassles of using the traditional, clumsy toilet riser. Unfortunately, my grandmother is no longer alive; but this Easy Toilet Riser certainly answers the call for a more civilized way for those in need of an elevated toilet seat! I wish we had it back in the day. More dignity could’ve been spared my grandmother, for we had many “accidents” without it. God bless her soul!
