Toilet Safety Rails- My opinion
There are several types of toilet safety rails. I personally prefer the one that is stand-alone for the reason that it can be removed when not in use.
The permanently fixed ones on the wall or on the toilet are great if there are not multiple persons using this toilet.
That is the reason I gave 3 options to choose from. The model that fits your needs the best might not be one of them and then I suggest you look at Amazon where they have much more available.
I see the question of how high should a toilet rails be and I believe that it all depends on the height and the strength of the person using it.
The second question I see is how do you install a toilet safety rail? Installing a toilet safety rail is depending on the type. Some can be just placed over the toilet and for others, you might first have to remove the toilet seat to install it.
Overall, I think installing a toilet safety rail in most bathrooms is not hard.
These safety rails for toilets are also for sale in many home improvement stores such as Home Depot. Lowes and even Walmart. However, they might not have them in stock and have to order the for you.
You can also find them in many health products stores but it is my opinion that the prices are a lot higher there in most cases.
So, it is hard to decide on what is the best toilet safety rail since it depends on several factors as you could read here. Remember that they can be part of a fall protection plan to avoid injuries
I had a good friend that used one for a while after his hip replacement surgery and kept using it for convenience.
