Toilet bowl: children's with a step, for the disabled, add-on and for cats

Maximum comfort during the operation of plumbing fixtures is one of the main tasks set by the plumbing manufacturers. However, everyone has his own needs and his own ideas about convenience, therefore, if we are talking, for example, about toilets, it is difficult to find a model that an adult man, an old woman and a small child could use with equal comfort. Most of our apartments are not rich in square meters, and the number of bathrooms in them is rarely more than one, so all family members have to use one toilet, no matter how convenient it is. To solve this problem, many manufacturers of sanitary equipment were concerned with the development of special nozzles for the toilet, intended for people( and not only) with different complexities and different physical capabilities.

Nozzles on the toilet are not stationary - they are removed and installed in seconds. They are securely attached to the bowl of the toilet bowl with the help of fixatives. With these attachments it is convenient to travel - some models add up and take up a lot of space in the luggage. Most often these products are made of plastic, so they are very light and do not need special care. Any non-aggressive cleaning agent is suitable for maintaining hygiene.

Among the various population groups for which toilet nozzles are made, great attention is paid to people with disabilities. For them it is important that the seat be high enough - so using the toilet seat requires much less effort. That's why many nozzles on the toilet are regulated in height.

Another important detail is the presence of handrails. They are equipped not all models. If in the bathroom, which is used by a small mobile person, stationary handrails are installed, there is no need to additionally purchase a seat with handrails. However, on the road such a nozzle is capable of serving a good service. Being in a train, in a hospital or in any other public place, an elderly person will be much easier to use a toilet if he has a comfortable seat with him( in fact, despite the requirements of the SNiP, only a small part of public toilets has booths equipped for persons with limitedmobility).

There are several modifications of attachments to the toilet bowls intended for children.

Standard models are adult-looking seats, but with a smaller hole. They can be made of "bare" plastic or have a soft upholstery. The second option is much more comfortable and, in addition, these seats are often decorated with bright patterns. Children's attachments are fastened to the toilet bowl as well as the usual ones. Thus, one toilet can be equipped with children's and adult seats at the same time, which is not only convenient, but also hygienic.

Models equipped with a step. Some nozzles are sold complete with a fit that allows the child to easily climb the toilet and serves as a support for the feet during the operation of the device. This step can be purchased separately, but the items sold in the set usually have the same pattern or are painted in the same colors( therefore, if you prefer a unity of style, this option is preferable).Parents of boys say that with the help of this seizure, children quickly learn to walk in a small standing, which is not so easy to do in a pot or toilet. In addition, the step can also be used to climb into the bath or brush your teeth before the sink.

Attached models are original ladders equipped with a convenient seat, which are installed next to the toilet. Usually such nozzles also have handrails, which makes their use even more comfortable. This monolithic construction is quite light, so the child can move it himself. The front seats are usually adjustable in size, allowing one nozzle to be used for several years of the child's life. The advantages of this model include:

• versatility - it is suitable for toilet bowls of all shapes and sizes;
• convenience - most models are equipped with an anatomical seat;
• safety - handrails and steps are coated with anti-slip material.

Mobile and folding models are designed primarily for use on the road. Being on the road, it is difficult to find a public toilet equipped with a child seat. In addition, many parents do not want to allow their child's contact with sanitary equipment in public latrines( and they can be understood, since the sanitary condition of such establishments usually leaves much to be desired).Folding seats are sold complete with a container for transportation, and folded very compact, so they are the ideal solution to the problem. Almost all models can be adjusted in height and width, therefore, such seats are suitable for any toilet.

A toilet bowl is a thing that is used not only by people, but also by some pets. Many owners of cats boast that their pets have easily mastered this plumbing fixture. Do not be discouraged if your moustached, striped friend has not learned to cope with need as a human. For this cat lovers were invented a whole system, allowing for a few weeks to accustom the animal to the toilet.

The kit usually includes a filler for cat litter and one or more nozzles on the toilet bowl with different holes. Each manufacturer has its own recommendations on how to accustom the cat to the nozzle, but the principle is almost the same everywhere.

First, the nozzle is placed on the floor, and for the first few days the cat uses it as a regular tray. Then, the nozzle is placed on the toilet, and the next couple of weeks your pet learns to climb on it and keep balance during use. Then the nozzle changes to a nozzle with a larger diameter hole( or, if the design assumes it, the hole is cut out in the first nozzle).The hole is enlarged every two weeks. In the end, the need for a nozzle disappears, and the cat can safely use the toilet. You just need to teach her to lower the water!
