Bathroom Aids

~ Posted on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 8:45 PM ~

Recently I came across a website featuring bathroom aids from UKS Mobility and memories of my late mum flooded back into my mind when I saw this product...

About a month plus before my mum passed away due to her kidney failures, my hubby then boyfriend bought her a chair similar to the one shown above. It allows her to sit on the chair and use it as a commode as well. She did not use it for shower as she can still walk around slowly just that our bathroom is the squat toilet kind so she was not able to squat anymore, hence the purpose of getting her the above chair.

I recalled how difficult it was for us to find products like this in Malaysia. Some pharmacies sell them but the stocks and designs most often are limited. So I think it is great that there is such a website selling products like this.

Product Review - Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty & Trainer Seat

~ Posted on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 7:44 AM ~

When I received a request to review the Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty & Trainer Seat, my heart skipped a beat! I mean, just a few months prior to that, I was actually looking around for a portable potty to get for our kiddos. Some of my blog followers did suggest this brand but at that point in time, the only place I knew that have this is Mothercare and the price is wee bit too high for me to consider.

When our 1st child started potty training, I did purchased something similar for him, it is a kiddy toilet seat cover which you can place right on top of your toilet seat but that does not work for our case as our toilet seat cover curves inward and not of flat surface. So when you placed the kiddy toilet seat cover on, it actually jiggles and moves abit. Scary and I really do not want my kiddo to fall into the toilet seat! I have since kept the kiddy toilet seat cover since it is practically useless and relied on the potty seat instead (but it is cumbersome to lug around)

So thanks to God for this wonderful opportunity and right timing that we get to review this awesome product!

My feedback on the product's packaging: The Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty & Trainer Seat comes tightly sealed in a plastic packaging. Upon Googling for product info, I found out that there are different brands partnering with the Potette - you can see it based on the company logo at the center bottom on the flyer that came together in the packaging. It also comes with some disposable liners as well.

My feedback on the product: It is fairly easy to use this product. You can either lay it flat by flipping out the sides and put on your toilet seat or you can bend the sides so that it can be a potty that your child can sit on, but for this method, do remember to put on a plastic covering to catch the pee and poo hahaha...

Being a paranoid mummy, I did the first initial check on the product by touching all over the surface, checking for any rough surface or edges, I mean, if my child is going to sit on this product, it better be smooth and comfortable to the touch! Anyway, happy to report, initial test on the product = pass!

I chose the white color one as it is easy to see the cleanliness of it. I also like that it is very easy to fold up the Potette Plus and it does not take up much space to keep away when not in use.

My feedback on kiddos using the product: Currently, our 2 years old girl is still using diapers and on some occasions will inform me when she wants to poo and we will place her on top of our toilet seat. We will have to squat or sit near her and hold her so that she does not fall off (yeah, we are that paranoid) although she does hold the front of the toilet seat to keep herself balance on the toilet seat. Picture below taken when Alyson was about 1.5 years old.

Now with Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty & Trainer Seat, I will flip the sides out flat, laying the sides horizontally and putting it on the toilet seat since that is the way our girl is using the toilet seat currently.

It is safe and I'm happy to know that our girl can comfortably sit on it and does her business hahahaha... So comfortable that she started bringing her storybook and read it while she does her business!

Summary: The Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty & Trainer Seat is a wonderful product to have and I am glad to be given the opportunity to review this product and keeping it. Recommended!
