And this is the Hamlet toilet safety rail and after installing it and testing it myself
0:05
here are four things you should know before buying. But make sure you stick around for number four
0:10
because this one could make or break your decision. Number one, setup is simple. This only took me a
0:16
few minutes and I put it together at my desk at first and I didn't need any tools. Once I brought
0:21
it to my bathroom, I took off my toilet seat cover, then screwed the rail right underneath it
0:25
and it was ready to be used. Number two, it's adjustable. You can widen or narrow the handrails
0:31
to fit your space and your body type. And my sink was sitting really close to where the rails would
0:36
go, but thankfully it didn't bump anything. But just in case, I did narrow it a little bit more
0:41
Now the legs are a different story here. They are adjustable, but they're only able to move
0:46
up or down. And this is only to match the height of your toilet seat. So the handles themselves
0:51
aren't going to move any higher or lower. They're going to be in a fixed position
0:56
Number three, the handles are comfortable. Now these are covered in a soft foam layer and it
1:01
made a big difference when using it. Every time I sat down or stood back up, my hands felt supported
1:07
and there wasn't strain on them. And the good thing is that these also have a pretty good thickness
1:11
too, so there's less pressure digging into your palms compared to if you had handrails that were
1:16
super thin. Because sometimes handrails like this can feel too thin and start to hurt after a while
1:22
but this one didn't. Number four, there's a little wobble. When I put my weight on it
1:27
I could feel some give, but it never felt unstable underneath me. I was still able to sit down and
1:33
stand back up with no trouble at all, and I also put a good amount of my weight on it, and it still
1:37
held. Now the feet have rubber at the bottom, and they felt planted the whole time. Nothing slid
1:43
and nothing felt like it was going to give out on me. So if you or a loved one is looking for a little extra help using the toilet
1:49
then make sure to check these Hamlin toilet safety rails out
