Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A must have for anyone recuperating from foot, ankle, or knee surgery. After struggling to make my way to the toilet on my own after 2 foot and ankle surgeries, finally decided to humble myself and get this potty chair to make recovery from surgery #3 easier. I wish I’d gotten it earlier! Easy to assemble and move around as needed. Extra bonus is that you can place a roll of toilet paper on the bar next to the seat (see photo). Doctor tells you to drink lots of water to flush your system of general anesthesia and remedy constipation caused by pain killers. Only problem is, you’re going to make countless trips to the potty. On one foot. And under the influence. Placed next to the bed, this potty chair made going #1 safe and convenient. My caregiver (husband) said it was easy to pour the bucket’s contents into the toilet, rinse, and sanitize. Tip: He sprayed the bucket with an enzyme cleaner we use to mop up cat and dog urine with to keep it smelling fresh. The chair is sturdy and stable, with a seat that’s similar to our portable camping potty. The bucket is shallow, which could pose a problem for relieving oneself of more than urine. However, when empty and clean, I found it useful as an emergency container for “throw up”. The lid helps to contain odors. Weighing 165 lbs., balancing on the good foot, and holding the solid arm rails, I was able to transfer from bed to potty chair comfortably without fear of everything collapsing. Full disclosure: I scootered myself to the bathroom toilet for #2, because I thought it too much for husband to have to deal with that. He’s never even changed a baby’s diaper.
