How to Use Handicap Urinals

Performing simple tasks can be difficult when you're handicap. Using the bathroom is one such task. If you're a man and need to use the restroom but don't want to sit on a toilet, you may want to use an urinal that can assist you in standing. This is called a handicap urinal.

Instructions

• 1

  Approach the handicap urinal. It has a handle bar system circulating around the entire device. Often times the urinal is next to a wall so there's room for you to place a cane or walker off to the side.

• 2

  Take hold of the handle bar while you unzip or unbutton your pants. If you use a wheelchair you may want to do this before you reach the urinal.

• 3

  Urinate. With the handicap urinal's design you don't need to aim. The urinal is tall, with its bottom extending outwards further than a typical urinal to catch any splashback. This allows you to hold onto the handle bars while urinating.

• 4

  Zip or button your pants back up. Use the handicap urinal's bars for support if needed.

• 5

  Walk away from the handicap urinal. Most have an automatic flush feature. However, if the urinal isn't automatic make sure to flush before leaving the bathroom.
