Would this pad be good for my husband who can't always control his bowel movement, but it is a firm stool?

Yes it will help with that. What a wonderful caring for your hubby with such a sensitive issue. True love. You really meant your vows!

These pads are excellent for containing a liquid stool I don't know why it wouldn't be good for a firm stool. The side wings are elasticized and keep matter in enclosed.

I only have used it for liquid stool, but it seems like it would also be good for firm stool also because it has raised barriers on the sides. I just put a listing on eBay for one pad for someone to try as a sample. try searching eBay for Abena Abri-San.

Yes it would work. The pad is large and would go in pants ok but it might be overprotection as a smaller pad might work also for a firm stool and be lest expensive. These pads are quite large and cover the whole seat just like an adult diaper would.

Yes make sure you have a pair of briefs or boxer briefs your going to put these into.

I would think that this product would be an excellent aid for your your husband. This is a quality product for folks, like myself, who have difficulties with our bowels.

yes it is flexible in a general way. It would support better if it was stiffer. My Rand McNally gps falls over from its own weight with this pad so I have trouble with it.

You should not regret the purchase as it should work quite nicely for you! I know our stool gets used often and never even has been folded! Best Wishes!

Great question. Unfortunately, no solution. Personally I would be more concerned on your dogs stool being soft as opposed to solid. Then again I'm no expert. Hope that helps.

I tried using one hand with it and it seems to stay in place if pressure is exerted straight down. In other words, it doesn't seem to tip, but I wasn't putting all my weight on it. Also, it is not fastened to the toilet so I can't say it may not slide at some time. Overall, it seems pretty secure, but I don't know for sure how he would do with it.

This bath stool is for my husband who had a stroke and has limited use of the left leg. He lowered the stool and now his feet touch the bottom of the tub w/no problem. He loves that he can swivel the stool when it is time to get out of the shower, and he rests his legs on the edge of the tub until I dry him. Works great. Is better than the one bench type we had with a back.

I own a pad. I like it a lot. However, it will not work on hard surface. It only works on semi soft seating.

I think it's probably like any other stool it's just that it's got a very comfortable saddle seat so it's helpful with correct posture. Hope that helps.

I think it depends on where the hemorrhoidal pain is. This has a very small opening at the back center of the cushion. So if his pain is off-center, this will not be comfortable. And the cushion itself is fairly firm, not soft and yielding like the traditional donut cushion which might be better. Good luck. I hope his pain gets better.

Yes, probably a 'lower toilet' would be an answer. My question though, is why spend that kind of money [buying and installing a lower toilet would be expensive; if you could find such a product], when a simple $10 foot stool would accomplish the same thing? The goal is to relieve yourself in a more natural posture~ works for me. Another thought crosses my mind too about a lower toilet. As a nurse, I've always found the toilets in the hospital to be too low for the elderly as it's hard for them to sit that low and then to stand up again after....

Robert, while this will not bottom out, it is definitely not soft. Why don't you try some basketball kneepads that you can buy at a sporting goods store. Good luck.

It would certainly help. It is somewhat rigid. I sit in a Hermann Miller chair, which has a type of web design seating, not a hard seat. I have had this product for at least a month and the only drawback is the slight odor it has when it gets warm. I put a towel on it and it solved the problem. Hope this helps.

I have sat on it for several hours and think it's great. The seat cushion is several inches thick. I would assume if your a heavier person, your not going to be as comfortable over longer periods of time because of the cushioning being compressed more then a lighter weighing person. The stool is well made and a great value.

It's not floppy. It's firm, but will bend a little if it need to. It should work fine for you. I'm very happy making pancakes with it!

Hi Patti, I'd like to believe that this stoll would be more than enough for her. I honestly believe that my situation was a fluke. I actually still use my stool nearly every day. I believe this stool will prove to be fine for your needs. The step and platform are fairly strong and should give her comfortable support.

Each leg has a hard plastic/nylon, button-like slider or bumper on the bottom. The wood of the stool's leg would not touch the floor. Would those bumpers mar a wood floor? Maybe. The pads are not wide, about 1/2 or so. The stools are light and sliding them around to reposition shouldn't hurt the floor. Sliding around while sitting in them might mar the floor, but this is difficult to do with a backless stool. You have to stand and take your weight off the stool to reposition it, much like you will have to do if you use a carpet. For light/normal use I don't think a rug is necessary. Another option would be to buy wider bumpers at the hardware store. I have hardwood throughout the house without any rugs. I put nylon bumpers on any furniture (dining room chairs for example) that get pushed back and forth under a table and there is no marring of the floor.

Nope, it's pretty firm. If you want a smaller one, get the smaller size and pad where needed.
