Choosing Bathroom Aids for Safer Washing, Bathing and Toileting

Bathroom aids can reduce strain, improve stability and make personal care routines feel safer. The right product depends on where support is needed most: getting in and out of the bath, showering, toileting, washing, standing, sitting or reaching.

Common options include:

• Grab rails and handles for extra stability around the bathroom
• Bath boards and bath seats for more supported bathing
• Shower stools and shower chairs for safer washing while seated
• Raised toilet seats and toilet frames for easier sitting and standing
• Commodes and bed pans for more accessible toileting support
• Bath lifts for getting in and out of the bath with less strain
• Long-handled washing aids, lotion applicators and cast protectors for personal care

Start with the task that feels most difficult or unsafe. If standing in the shower is the issue, a shower stool or shower chair may help. If getting on and off the toilet is harder, raised toilet seats, toilet frames or grab rails may be more suitable.

If getting down into the bath is the main concern, a bath board, bath seat or bath lift may be worth considering.

Before choosing, it is worth checking the size and layout of the bathroom. Bath width, shower space, toilet height, floor space, wall position and whether the user needs seated or standing support can all affect suitability. For larger products such as bath lifts, shower chairs or commodes, speaking to Modern Mobility before buying can help confirm the right type of support.
