Hi everyone, I'm needing some advice. Lately I'm in a lot of pain getting on and off the toilet in work. What I need is a toilet seat raiser.  Work are willing to purchase one for me but I need one that I can take off when I'm not using it. Can anyone suggest any products, by the way I'm in the UK!

    Hi Chrissy

    Another thought.....what about asking the occupational therapist advice.....I dont expect her to supply one necessarily but maybe some advice on how/where to get them

    Where abouts are you in the uk? I have 2 that my hospital gave me and don't want them back, I've washed and disenfected them and would be very willing to post one to you? I'm in the West Midlands, they are plastic and you push them on and just tighten the screw, very simple and quick x

    Hi Chrissy.

    The ones that the do now you can remove them off the main toilet seat, they are heavy plastic they have two plastic screwe like attment that you can screw to the main toilet seat. am sure you can buy them on line or ask the hospital where you had your opp. I got mines from the Hospital where i had my opp.

    Good Luck.

      Hi Glendale, do you know the product name? As I have to give it to work but it has to be one that I can remove so others can use the toilet. I've tried reading through some of them online but they don't say specifically how you attach and remove them. A Velcro one sounds good, is that the one called East fit, as there's another one called Nouvelle clip on. I just don't want to give work the wrong product name and they then order it and it's not easily removed. I am still pre op and need bi lateral hip replacements but I am very tall and getting spasms getting on and off even on the disabled toilet. Think I just need that bit more height.
