Go occupational therapy!! : ) My grandma just moved in with us. This video is the first one I have seen that finally combines raised toilet seats and bidets! So functional and gives my grandma some independence and humanity back, thank you!
Thank you Lindsay for a great tutorial. It was a seamless installation and without any leaks:) I am now a bidet convert. Your help and assistance regarding my pre-op concerns has been invaluable. You are simply the BEST!
These videos have been so helpful. I am about to have hip replacement surgery and feel so much better prepared as to what to order and have in place thanks to several of your videos. Thank you very much. 🌷
Just installed this exact set up. Hardest part was removing the old seat. Works perfectly. Sincerely thanks for your help. I’m having lumbar fusion in two weeks and this will be (and actually already is) so helpful.
I love my bidet but a recent change in my mobility really requires a raised seat. The bidet started to not be able to shut off completely so I upgraded to a raised seat bidet. a nice and clean install. But if wasn’t broken I’d have considered this. I also tried those handles but didn’t’ like them. Crowded my space for my walker. Also didn’t like their wobble. So I installed really sturdy brackets for toilets on either side that mounted to the wall and floor. Much nicer installation! Got them on Amazon for about 30 bucks each. Looks professional. Super strong. I am a former remodeling contractor and a retired librarian and archivist with an eye for sturdy elegant solutions. Good luck, everyone!😊
Getting ready for my husband's THR. I just found that one of our wallkers (we have two) serves as a toilet hand rail! The front of the walker curves forward a little so it goes behind the toilet seat. Now I have a good reason to buy another one!! They have them all the time at Goodwill. Thank you for your videos! They have been very helpful!!
Hi ! Thank you so much for your very instructive video. We have a Luxe bidet that we ❤. But now I have to rise the toilet sea. It was a problem to find a riser that would permit the use of our bidet. I will search for a 2 inch riser, that would heighten the seat to 17 inches, that would be the ideal height for mom , 91 years young. Thank you again … this will be so much cheaper than purchasing a new toilet! 😀
Thank you for this video and this site, in general. My mother, who has been using a raiser for years, wanted a bidet installed. I quickly realised that that riser she had would not work. A quick search got me to your superb site. I just followed your instructions and set up the whole thing in just over 30 min. Thanks you so much. I have sent your site URL to my mother so that she can see what other things would be useful for her to make her life easier. I am sure we will be visiting often! Thanks again. One of the finest sites I have come across.
PS: Forgot to add that one can get a hinged raiser now. The one I got works very well and allows one to clean the bowl without getting in the way of the bidet spout. I just followed your link to the raiser and Amazon had the hinged one on the website.
After watching this the other day then doing lots of online research for the kind of bidet seat or bidet attachment I wanted - but that would also fit on the usual seat riser like in your video, I found what I think is THE solution!! It’s called a toilevator. It’s a 3-1/2 inch base that is easily installed under the toilet! Costs about $90, not cheap, but it does enable you then to buy what ever bidet seat or attachment you want (because soo many on the market are not compatible with a seat riser). It also looks more attractive than having a riser on top of the seat, which is a bonus.
Excellente video. It appears there are only some brands that have the holes in the riser and bolts. Also, I suspect risers have to be fit to either a standard or elongated toilet? The problem I see is hospitals aren't really set up to window shop for the correct model of riser...
Hi! I just discovered your site today and you have so much fabulous information. I was thinking about the lux bidea you show here to go with the kohler hyten raised seat that you had a few videos on, and wondering if you have put that combo together since you love that toilet seat so much :) thanks (also with the toilet safety rail, so all 3)
Hi Lindsey, can I install a LUXE Bidet NEO 120 Plus - (Hinged), with the set-up you described? Thank you for your informative videos, they are excellent! A friend discovered your site in preparation for my upcoming THR, and I could not be more pleased:) Thank you!
trying to find a video on the riser with the (full) bidet seat..bought as a set (elongated riser and alpha iX bidet seat) and per the instructions, i know the bidet seat goes on top of the riser but videos are so much more helpful.
You really have such helpful content for me and my mom but I knew those little cleats would be hard to find I didn't see them in the links in the description so could you tell me where to get them ?
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you. Looks like I'm going to need back surgery. Was wondering if there may be better products I should consider since you posted this video in 2020. Cheers.
These products are pretty standard and really haven’t changed much in like 20 years. There are different types of bidets on the market that would work, but this variety is still going strong in my recent experience.
@@EquipMeOT Thank you Lindsay for the quick response. I just found your site and must say I'm very impressed. Your on-air delivery and high production values makes me wonder if you have (or had) a TV background in the past. My first life was in TV News and production and I rarely see the quality you consistently deliver, especially on TH-cam. You are providing a great service to folks like myself that without warning desperately need the kind of information you provide on your site. Cheers!
Thank you! That’s very flattering. No history in TV but my husband (and business partner) was a film major in college and works really hard to keep our quality up! He’ll be thrilled for your positive feedback.
I purchased a bidet for my disabled husband but when I tried to install it over the Medline Toilet Safety Rails already in place, the bolts were not long enough (we don't have a raised toilet seat, just the regular one). Can I get the longer bolts that will fit at hardware store, and will they work as well to hold everything in place? Thanks for this helpful video.
Yes, the hardware store will likely have a longer version of the bolts that you have on your current toilet seat (unless it's the plastic variety). Bring what came with the seat to the store with you and they can measure for exact size.
Have you found that BSC over toilets will still work with a bidet? Is the stream high enough? Or is the stream high enough to use with rolling shower/toilet seat? Mainly asking to use with a patient with ALS
No, I don’t think a BSC alone with a toilet mounted bidet will reach. What I’ve been toying with a low profile bolt-on RTS with the bidet mounted on it and then the BSC over top. I haven’t actually put this together yet, but this is my theory.
Amazing ! Exactly what I need ! You know so much ! I need this urgently for one of my elderly family member in the house. How much will you charge to install this in my house in Singapore ?
I am a bit confused as to why a versaframe would be installed along with this toilet seat riser when arms are included with the riser. Versaframes pose a potential tripping hazard. I also noted that the versaframe is wedged into the toilet paper roll, preventing easy access should a user need it (if they opt not to use the bidet feature). All that said, I do like the availability of a riser with a bidet feature.
First, the arm rests tat come with this particular riser do not work with the controls on the bidet, they cannot be used together. Second, my bathroom setup would be such that I would remove the versaframe handle from the vanity side of the toilet for that exact reason, but was attempting to show it totally assembled for generalizing to other bathroom layouts.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this same assembly with a one piece toilet? The long bolts can’t go all the way through. Thanks your informative videos.
I’ve had to resort to replacing the toilet seat with traditional bolt setup to make this combination work. Otherwise, a clamp on raised toilet seat and a hand held bidet might be an alternative option.
Thank you for this video! In the process you talk about needing a toilet seat without a lip for the bidet to work properly and mention the one you are using is not your preferred seat for this project. Is there one you recommend to use with a round seat, the bidet and the raised piece? Thank you!
Also, Home Depot sells "toilet seat bumper" replacements which accomplishes the same thing, for $3.00 + change, which is the same price for the kind you used in video on Amazon

Awesome hack perfect for me as I’m getting ready for spinal fusion!
Hope your recovery goes smoothly!
Super easy setup but I sprayed myself in the face from the water pressure being too strong 🤣
Shot water across the room while testing it 😂

Who sells the 5" toilet seat riser with bolts? I can't find one. These are awesome videos!!!
Any suggestion to keep the water from spraying out through the seat and toilet?

What is the highest elevated riser that can be used? Thank you.
Thanks so much
You’re welcome!
What size is the bolt? I can’t find one that’s long enough.
Hi! Very helpful. Would this still work with a toilet riser that is hinged?
Yes!
I have an elongated commercial toilet with a big john toilet seat
Can I find a bidet that will work ?
I have a luxe 185 that I installed with my carex raised seat. But the water comes thru the seat and makes a mess on my floor! What am I doing wrong?

Amazing ! Exactly what I need ! You know so much ! I need this urgently for one of my elderly family member in the house. How much will you charge to install this in my house in Singapore ?
I’d love to see Singapore! Might be a little out of range though given these darn travel restrictions from the US ;)
The toilet seat riser you're using is 3.5 inches. Do you think this bidet and frame combination would work with a 5 inch riser?
As long as the bidet line is long enough.
Did your toilet sit close properly did you have to add bumpers to underneath of the toilet sit?
I added bumpers under the seat to keep it level.
Do you recommend teflon tape? A small piece came with my bidet but there was no mention of it in the indtructions
I didn’t use it for my install and it hasn’t leaked at all in almost a year.
I am a bit confused as to why a versaframe would be installed along with this toilet seat riser when arms are included with the riser. Versaframes pose a potential tripping hazard.

@@EquipMeOT hand held can’t be an option. Not sure I understand your other suggestions. Am I able to send you a photo of her toilet?
If you could send me a picture I could definitely make a more accurate recommendation 🙂

Something like this would work. Make sure you order elongated or round, depending on what shape your toilet is.

How can you install this bidet with a raised toilet seat that comes with a toilet lid
Are ADA toilets not high enough for a petite size senior?
An ADA height might be tall enough for a petite senior to use comfortably. I would say anyone under 5’4” would be ok with a comfort height.
Can I install the LUXE Bidet Neo 320 (with Hot and Cold Water) in this same way?
You will have to access the hot water line that goes to your sink, but other than that step it’s very much the same.
Ain't gonna be able to use the tp
Easy to install, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Have you ever installed a toilet safety frame with a bidet??
