Indoor Portable Simple Toilet for Family
There are mainly several solutions for indoor portable simple toilets for families, including making one with a water storage tank, using a portable commode, and using a toilet chair.
Making one with a water storage tank: This is a relatively complex and creative DIY solution. First, split a water storage tank in half with an angle grinder. Fix universal wheels at the four corners of a wooden board to facilitate the movement of the entire makeshift toilet. Then, use wooden strips and self-tapping screws to fix them on the upper side of the tank to increase the height. Open a door on the side of the water storage tank, install sponge strips to form a door frame, and embed plastic soft boards to create raised walls. Place the upper half of the water storage tank on top of the wooden strips as a roof, and paint the wooden strips with white waterproof paint to enhance aesthetics. Make a simple door by joining waste honeycomb wooden boards with foam strips. Open a hole at the bottom of the tank and install a drain pipe to form a floor drain. Open holes on the side and bottom of the plastic bucket and install direct connectors. Place the plastic bucket on the roof to form a small water storage device, connect a water pipe-made bath heater, install a three-way connector below the water inlet pipe and connect a showerhead, place a toilet and install a water tank, fix it with glass glue, connect the drain pipe to the sewage tank, connect a water pipe horizontally from the three-way connector of the outlet pipe to the door as the water inlet pipe for the washbasin, and install connectors on the door. However, this solution requires relatively high hands-on skills and has a cumbersome production process.
Using a portable commode: For the inconvenience of the elderly and pregnant women in the family when going to the toilet, a portable commode is a good choice. For example, the Miaoxinshi Elderly Portable Toilet, which converts a squat toilet into a sit-down toilet, focuses on home care products and prioritizes practicality, stability, and comfort of use. It is suitable for use in the bedroom, beside the bed, or near the bathroom. It has a heightening design, making it easier to get up and sit down, reducing the burden on the knees and waist. It also has armrests and anti-slip foot pads at the bottom, providing a more stable sitting position and better support when getting up. The triple-seal design reduces odor emission. The bucket is enlarged and thickened, with strong load-bearing capacity. The material is waterproof and easy to clean. There is a side storage basket, and the inner bucket has a handheld design for easy cleaning.
Using a toilet chair: The Kangji toilet chair is suitable for families with the elderly, pregnant women, or those with limited mobility. Placing it beside the bed in the bedroom can solve the problem of inconvenience when getting up to go to the bathroom at night, reducing the trouble of walking back and forth and the risk of falling. Its widened seat is 51 centimeters wide, providing a more spacious sitting experience. The height can be adjusted in five levels, from 40 to 50 centimeters flexibly. The seat is equipped with an EVA cushion, and the armrests are made of soft high-density foam. The steel pipe structure is sturdy with strong load-bearing capacity.
