Toilet Modifications Advice

Updated on June 3, 2025

This guide explores a range of modification options, from simple add-ons to complex installations, catering to diverse needs and budgets. Before modifying, assess your toilet’s dimensions and personal requirements. Consider the bowl shape, desired height increase, and available space. Toilet seat risers elevate the toilet seat, while toilet safety frames provide a stable and supportive solution with handles and padded seats. Commode over the toilet is an inexpensive alternative, while toilet base risers permanently raise the entire toilet.

Alternative flush mechanisms promote hands-free operation, while seat covers enhance comfort and protect delicate skin. Toilet lifts cater to individuals with significant lower body weakness. Bidets offer hands-free hygiene benefits and come in various forms. Additional accessories like Squatty Pottys and urine splash guards further enhance comfort and prevent messy accidents. Consult an occupational therapist or accessibility specialist to determine the most suitable solution for your specific needs.
