Useless unless modified
My mother is using a Drive brand bedside commode. There are a few problems that I have had to work around to make sure this product doesn't just end up in landfill two days after its arrival in the mail.<br /><br />First off, the center of the clip cracked when I clipped it onto the bar of the commode. I didn't apply any extra pressure, it's simply designed poorly. The clip itself is still intact and holds onto the bar no problem. The fact that upon it's first use it broke in some way is pretty disappointing though.<br /><br />Another annoyance with the design is that it pivots around the bar of the commode a lot or simply falls off. I fixed this by wrapping a strong rubber band around it so that it stays more or less in place without falling with use.  If it had a metal clip that wraps around the bar with rubber grips this would solve the problem. Since it is made of plastic it is useless without the rubber band around it.<br /><br />The largest annoyance is that there is no end that prevents the toilet paper roll from slipping off with use. Whenever my mother pulled toilet paper while using the restroom the whole roll would fall off but the toilet paper holder (with the a more than a little help from the rubber band) stays on. To fix this I repurposed a platic lid from a small oatmeal box and cut a tight-fitting hole just big enough to fit over the end.<br /><br />I'll update this review with pictures later.<br /><br />Had I not been so determined to not let my money go to waste, this product would be in the trash right now and it would be receiving a one star review. Since I somehow made it work I'm giving it two stars.<br /><br />If you buy this product be prepared to be extremely disappointed with how useless it will turn out to be... unless you make these modications.
