For many people, getting on and off the toilet can become one of the more challenging parts of using the bathroom.
A toilet support can provide something stable to hold while sitting down or standing up, helping make everyday bathroom routines more comfortable and manageable.
However, not every bathroom or user requires the same type of support.
Avail Design offers several portable and retrofit toilet support options, each designed to provide a different level of stability, flexibility and assistance.
In this guide, we look at three options:

Which Toilet Support Is Right for You?
There is no single toilet support that is right for everyone.
Consider:
How much support is needed?
A user who only needs light assistance may prefer the portable S03F1, while someone who places more weight through their arms may benefit from one of the heavier-duty support arm options.
Does the equipment need to be portable?
The S03F1 folds for storage and transport, while the S01SAW and S02SAW are retrofit options that can also be removed when required.
Is additional stability required?
The S02SAW combines toilet-mounted arms with adjustable legs, providing an additional point of support.
What type of toilet is installed?
Always check the toilet configuration and installation requirements before selecting a support product.
