Can you set this on top of the original toilet seat? Thanks.

No, I wouldn't try that. It's never even entered my mind. It's meant to be set on the porcelain toilet rim - after you've lifted up the existing seat. Depending upon the shape of their toilet bowls, some folks apparently have to use the included sticky pads. I've not encountered that. That's why I love this item so well. For me, it fits perfectly the way it comes out of the box.

I use it on top of the regular seat but I do use it in our RV so there is little space for it to move very far. So far it has been fine.

That is not how it is intended to be used, but you can leave the original toilet seat on the bowl and just raise it. In fact, that is how I find it to work best, because the Duro-Med can wedge against the raised seat, making it more securely placed. The Duro-Med has a kind of ledge around the under-side of it, which is meant to fit in the toilet bowl. If you try to put it on the original ring instead, I'm not sure it would work or be secure.

It fits securely with the toilet seat flipped up. It rests on the toilet rim. It allows for the seat to be flipped up behind it.

no, have to put the seat up and put riser directly on top of toilet. Works great.

Yes, you have to remove the existing seat and lid. The AquaSense is bolted to the toilet bowl and the seat cannot be raised. It is an inconvenience for men but not a deterrent for buy the AquaSense. The benefit of a raised seat outweighs the drawbacks.

No, it fits on top of a standard size toilet seat. If you have an elongated seat I doubt this toilet trainer seat will fit on it.

If you can raise the toilet SEAT it fits. It will not fit onto the seat itself! Hope this helps and God bless you with your recovery!

It's not made to sit across a toilet seat. You could fold the legs flat and it would work. I'm just not sure the joints are made to hold like that. So, no

This seat actually sits on top of the existing toilet seat -- not in it. That way, if folks do not want to use the raised seat, it is simply removed for regular use of the toilet. The 'grippers' on the bottom of the Yunga kept it from sliding off. I hope this helps. The Yunga was indispensable after my hip replacement surgery.

Should be fine, but try it out on the toilet base and on the toilet seat to see which is more stable. We have a Kohler Cimarron elongated comfort-height toilet, and it's a perfect fit on top of the seat. But unlike others who've answered, for ours it was NOT as stable directly on the toilet base. Our Kohler has a very narrow rim on the base, that's probably why.

You don't really "install" it...it just sits on top of the toilet seat. When they are done you can take it right off.

Absolutely not. You set this one on top of your regular seat. However, the toilet seat TOP will stay open and can't be closed with the seat on. If you did remove the existing toilet seat, that would mean the top is also removed, so you would not have a top anyhow. If you are afraid of things dropping accidentally into the toilet, you could set a piece of wood or even a cut piece of foam core over the Medline seat while doing other things as a precaution.

Yes -- but it will be way way easier if you do it BEFORE you intall the toilet. The directions that come with it will tell you how. I have a different seat on mine.

Check out the image for the product. The area at the top of the image needs to go between the porcelain and the piece that attaches the seat to the porcelain and then the flipper seat sits on top of your existing seat--if your existing seat is essentially one with the toilet lid, this isn't the product for you, if they're two separate pieces, this should work for you :)

Sits on top. You lift the regular toilet seat and place this on top of the base of the toilet. It is wonderful and makes it easy to get up.

No, I think it's supposed to fit on top of the seat, at least it does on ours. It's great because the fit is just right so it doesn't move around like the cheaper ones. Maybe you can adjust it somehow?

Yes, however the top part of the seat sticks up a bit. This one sits a bit lower than most by an inch or so too.

yes, It will not fit on a toilet that is designed to be high to begin with though.

Yes, but this uses some quick release hinge seats, not the typical screw on kind. I haven't attempted to try and put the old-style seats on this toilet. With the quick release it's much easier to remove/clean. I'm sure replacements are a bit more expensive though.

It is only an accessory to the toilet. It sits on top of either size, and adds about an inch to the normal seat height.
