Just what I needed...
At 69 I am a very busy woman - up and down ladders, painting, plumbing you name it and I will fix it, when you live in the boonies it is easier to do the work yourself since you can have it done before anyone will come out if they even show up...
Had a hip replaced 11 years ago, best thing I ever did for myself and I have never had an issue in all this time but last Saturday
while squatting to replace the dryer vent it slipped out and let me say that when you dislocate your hip it is horrid.
Luck on my side they put it back in and of course I now need to be careful we don't want a repeat of this EVER. It made sense to buy a riser for my toilet. I have used many over the years with aged parents so I was familiar with the pros and cons of these seats.
I wanted one that I could use without removing the toilet lid, I did not want plastic screws to fool around with so when I saw this Yunga I grabbed, got it in two days, dropped it on the toilet and it looks like it was made for the toilet. It sits right on top and it does not wiggle around so it feels solid and safe. There is a lip that sits inside the toilet so any liquid goes into the toilet and not onto the toilet rim.
It raises the seat about 4 1.2 inches, I am 5' 91/2" tall so it's perfect; my toilet is 16 1/2 inches high from the floor to the top of toilet bowl rim; my feet just hit the ground so I do not need to worry about having my knee close to a right angle or the need to slide my leg out to sit with the possible chance of slipping.
Bottom line this is a great product with attention to detail, it has cut outs for hands to clean yourself, extremely sturdy seat that wipes clean in a breeze. Also it is a super value.
