Could I use this to help pull myself up out of tub?

Depending on your size, weight and strength, as well as specific consideration regarding your own mobility, I suspect you could. You would want to make sure the bar is securely fastened to the tub edge before and after each use.

You can definitely trust it as a support! It is extremely sturdy and locks in place.

I haven't tried that, but I know it fits very securely to the tub if you have tightened it correctly. I guess the answer would depend on how much weight was being pulled.

I would agree with the other comments. This is not the purpose I bought it for. My concern would be wet hands. Bar to me is slick.

A little more than a foot into the air--used primarily for exiting tub from taking a shower.

Maybe. Depends on how flat a surface you have around the open hole. This has a rubber edge on the bottom but it is not suction. You may wish to look for something designed for a tub hole.

Hmmm, honestly I usually use it to put my foot on to help shave my legs. I don't think it would be easy to slip out of it though because it is concave - so much so that it pools water. We just pour the water off once the shower is done, but it collects quite a bit of water, so it's got quite a dip in it. Sorry I can't say more about this definitively though.

Have a hand held shower that you can control and a shower curtain that can fit around the chair. It is otherwise inevitable there may be some water on the floor but that is better than falling in the tub.

I would say no. You need a stool that has adjustable legs to sit on in a tub. They are hard plastic and aluminum legs. You can find them on Amazon. I use one of the steps next to tub to step on then get into tub holding a grab bar. You can even stack two of these together if you need a higher step. Definitely have one or two grab bars ( one inside, on tub end or front wall and one outside tub on same wall.) hope this helps.

Yes.. if you are talking about it being on the floor outside the tub and you are stepping in and out onto it. I would also suggest using a grab bar in conjunction with it if no one is there to assist you. Someone mentioned about not using INSIDE tub to get out and I agree with them if that's what you have in mind. I would not use anywhere but on the floor. Myself, I use it on the driveway to assist my 91 yr old mother to get in and out of my SUV.

you could lift a person from the floor as long as you get the sling in a right place,many thanks,Hash/Discount Medical Source

It is something to grab on to while you are in the bath - especially if you don't already have grab bars in the bath area. This is my best guess.

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. The person needs to be able to slide along the seat; there are other seats on "rails" if this isn't possible. Also be sure that there is enough clearance to properly place the legs outside the tub. We couldn't use ours because the tub curved a lot at the bottom sides -- the chair would only sit halfway in the tub, and then there wasn't sufficient clearance between tub and toilet. Now it is a ding table chair! Good luck to you with this.

I would not use it to climb into a Queen Anne tub because you could not position it very well for that, and it would be slippery when wet. For that purpose, I would prefer one of those long handled step stools (It looks like a regular step stool, but has a long handle to hang onto,) and the step has a rubber top to it to prevent slipping

I do not know how helpful this would be from a sitting position because it is at least two feet above the tub. My mother uses it from a shower bench.

Depending how agile you are this may work. My concern would be stepping down into the tub, would your footing be stable? The bar works well as an aid for balance but is not as stable as a wall mounted safety bar

I think it might be too big for your tub. If you don't need a back, try looking at the round seat that rotates. Good luck!

i would not use it to sit in the tub. I would not feel safe using it that way. I would only use it as a step to get into the tub.

No and Yes. This device would be best used for quick bathroom brakes. Kind of a squat and go, or stand and go. But, you can buy a hose attachment and cut a hole in your panties and run the hose down your leg or out your zipper if you wanted to be creative

Yes, but I gave my tub lift away. It was not safe for me. I have polio and have very poor balance and no lift muscles.
