Is summary it can be said that Alzheimer's disease is a "degenerative" (that it basic nature is that it is ongoing, that it gets worse, never better) illness of the generally elderly population.

This is a product review of Realistic Risers, a toilet riser system I purchased on eBay. This system works by attaching the 3 leg blocks to the underside of the toilet seat and bolting the seat and the back riser to the toilet. The product comes with elongated bolts and silicon nuts.

Made of durable PVC material the company claims a weight rating of 600 pounds. The risers are also supposed to be more stable than others. Tipping, flipping or popping off were the common problems I've had with other toilet seat risers I've used. As far as I can tell, the product does everything the company claims it should. The risers are sturdy and very sound; my seat does not wobble or tip in any way.

The benefits of the Realistic Risers far outweigh the concerns in my opinion. Cleaning them is simple, they don't wobble or fall off, and installing them could not be easier. The only problem I have had so far is a Velcro tab that stuck to the seat came off, but I used super glue to reattach it and haven't had trouble with them since. The only other drawback is if your toilet's bolts are directly connected to the seat, these risers are incompatible. They will work with any standard toilet seat.

I was able to contact Jan who is the inventor's daughter in law and she told me a bit about the company. They are family owned and operated. Each order is inspected for quality before being shipped. Jan sells the risers on eBay for $19.97, Dr. Leonard's magazine sells them under a different name and they are available through Miles Kimball as well. I believe the price is more than fair given the how well the product works and compared to the price of other toilet seat risers.

I believe Realistic Risers are an amazing product, I love mine. I'm going to order the 3 inch set to accommodate my new chair, which is a bit taller than my old wheelchair. This toilet seat riser is inexpensive, cleans easily, sturdy, stable and fits all standard toilet seats.

The product reviewed above was purchased with my own money and the opinions stated are my own and not influenced by monetary or material consideration.
