Bathroom aids FAQ

Bathroom aids support users with limited mobility, disabilities, or age-related challenges with everyday tasks such as bathing, showering and using the toilet. They are designed to make the bathroom a safer and more comfortable place for both users and caregivers. Examples include mobile shower commodes, shower seats, raised toilet seats and bath boards. By providing extra stability and support, these aids help promote independence while reducing the risk of falls in the bathroom.

Falls in the bathroom are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, after road traffic accidents, according to WHO. These incidents can happen to anyone, but the risk is higher for older adults and people with reduced mobility. Taking simple safety measures, such as using bathroom aids, can significantly reduce the risks of falls and injuries. 

Falls are common in bathrooms due to wet and slippery surfaces, but there are several ways to prevent them. For example:

  • Add a shower seat or stool to reduce the time you stand.
  • Use non-slip surfaces to reduce the risk of slipping on wet floors.
  • Ensure good lighting during the day and night.

Etac offers three levels of safety solutions, providing varying support for different user needs as well as tips on how to improve bathroom safety. Read more about Etac's bathroom safety solutions.

You can make your bathroom more accessible without any renovation by using assistive aids and simple adjustments. Here are a few tips:

  • Add assistive aids such as grab bars, raised toilet seats or shower chairs for extra support.
  • Consider portable solutions that can be quickly installed and removed when not needed.
  • Keep toiletries and towels at an easy-to-reach height to avoid bending or stretching. 

These changes can make a big difference in comfort and safety without requiring any rebuilding. 

Shower chairs last for different lengths of time depending on their material, design and how well they are maintained. Etac’s shower chairs are made from durable, high-quality materials and built to last, offering a longer warranty than standard.
