   HEINSY Toilet Safety Rail, Heavy Duty Foldable Toilet Handrail, Aluminum Alloy Support Up to 480LBS Perfect for Elderly Senior Handicap PregnantThis is a wonderful product for anyone who needs support. I like that it looks attractive and stylish. The base plate is quarter inch steel – SUPER STRONG and SUPER SUPPORTIVE! We tried different products before getting this. The problem with the other products with rails is she couldn’t wipe herself easily because she couldn’t spread her legs wide enough. With this, she can lift the arm(s) out of the way for wiping, but then when she needs to get up, then my mom can push herself up. The arms are left down so that she can get back onto the toilet by herself. I tried using her toilet and I can leave the arms down to wipe since there is nothing under the arms – I’m about another 40 or so pounds heavier than my mom. This is a very smart design!The support arms come with installation directions that were very clear. Our Kohler toilet had seat holes just wide enough so this would work for us. We got the arms tightened onto the base, took the seat off the toilet, positioned this onto the toilet, added the seat back, added the new bolts, and voila!Now, an elderly person likely isn’t strong enough to be tightening this onto their own toilet, so plan to get help on install if you are disabled. I’m not sure she could even lift that baseplate on her own – quarter inch steel is HEAVY! Installation would never have been something my mom could have done on her own. Any handyman service or capable adult should be able to help install this. Now that these support arms are on, she is able to go to the bathroom without assistance and without needing extra shower cleanings. This is a wonderful product, giving her back some dignity and independence. I am so very glad I bought these toilet support arms. THANK YOU!!REVISED REVIEW – posted January 6, 2024Since the original photos and original review, we ALL have grown to love this seat so very much! It has been the absolute best accessibility purchase yet made for my mom. Her health did take a turn for the worst (she is better now), in the hospital ER twice, and we thought we’d lose her. Her ability to control bodily functions really fell apart, so I ordered and got in a very nice, heated bidet toilet seat to replace the normal toilet seat as well as a power assisted flush toilet. The attachments for these were 1/2″ holes and bigger bolts, larger than the available space/slits that come with the bottom plate. Right up until we’d take it off and began drilling, I thought it was a steel plate. However, it IS aluminum, so it is even nicer than originally thought. Now, drilling thick aluminum with a normal hand drill does take a metal drill bit from the local home improvement store, but at least it wasn’t an all day affair needing a drill press like steel might have needed. We had already loved it, but now with the enhanced sanitation we added with upgraded plumbing, and being able to flip up the arms so when wiping my mom can spread her legs wide for improved sanitation, this is like 101 on a scale of 1 to 5. WE LOVE THIS HANDRAIL!!

   Looks more modern and less “medical” than the traditional safety rails. My husband, who has had a cerebellar stroke and is very unsteady on his feet, says these arms feels far more stable than others we have tried. The grip is solid and the padding won’t split like others have. I love that the arms can fold up and out of the way. As there are no support pieces under the toilet seat, this is going to be very easy to keep clean. I’m buying a second one for our other bathroom today!

   Purchase was for spouse bathroom, he had a stroke in the bathroom, and fell to floor, has fallen 3 more times at home one in which he broke his femur close to hip socket and once while in hospital. This item is very sturdy, easy to use. Makes him feel safe standing up after toilet use. Highly recommend, could handle a heavy person up to 250+ no problem
