My husband was having problems getting up, even though we had already swapped out for handicap toilets.  I ordered two of these because I did not want any that I had seen that made the toilet "handicapped" for all who used our restroom...These are wonderful...the other lid comes off, and you replace with these...Most people don't even notice and they not the traditional ones...We liked it so well, I ordered another for our winter place...Great product
