Vive Toilet Seat Cushion (Soft Cushioned Foam) - Easy Clean Soft Padded Bathroom Attachment - Elongated, Standard Seats - Comfort and Support Donut for Handicap, Adults (2" Cushioned Foam, Black)

Here’s a bit of my story: I’ve been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (IBD) for over 3 decades (I’m 41) and since June of last year I’ve had 3 spine surgeries. I was desperately trying to figure out something to make it more comfortable and easier for me to use the toilet (mainly for my spine, but it ended up being incredibly fantastic for my Crohn’s too). *So in my extensive search I found this 2 inch (I think the 4 inch would be too high for me) toilet seat cushion, I want to be VERY clear that it’s NOT meant to raise you up, it just gives you some extra cushion so you aren’t directly on a hard toilet seat. *Also for other reviews that say it flattens, yes it does, but there’s still enough cushion to make it comfortable. I’m 195lbs and I still use the first one I purchased, it’s not flat as you can see in my photos. It’s very simple to use, 6 suction cups on the back of it keep it in place (easy to remove for company), there’s a zipper so it’s easy to clean, and I’m not in pain from being on the toilet anymore. *If you struggle like I used to, I highly recommend trying this out. *The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t close the lid on my toilet, but that is minimal as far as I’m concerned, especially since it’s easy to remove. *I really hope this information helps others. I can’t believe I’ve gone so long without one, I even keep a backup on hand. I hope to never be without one. * Also, I’m the type of person that does a lot of research before I buy anything and even though some of the other reviews were a little negative, I just had a feeling I had to try this out for myself. I’m so happy I made this purchase!!

I love this cushion. I was so happy to have found it because I have to get up in the night and urinate and I use a porta potty. My weight on the potty seat made it uncomfortable for me to sit and urinate. Now I can not worry about pain as I’m sitting. It may take me a while, but I won’t suffer for it anymore. I like the way the little suckers keep it on the toilet seat as well. I found that if you put a bit of moisture water on the seat or on the little attach sucker things, it will keep the cushion right where you want it. I am very happy to have found this and it has brought me great comfort.

It solved the problem of sensitivity to the back of my legs after my spinal fusion surgery. However, the suction cups did not always hold, and it tended to slip around sometimes.

Gonna order the 4" version. Will let you know how it works. Update: 3rd one was DOA. Definitely cheaper foam or old deteriorating foam. "I remember the first one... It literally propped me up over an inch above the toilet seat. It was comfortable and the space in front kept me from having to try to balance on my bad legs while wiping." They sure don't make it that well anymore. Only way to fix it would be with foam rubber, instead of foam. That would still be cushiony but wouldn't completely collapse when you sit down. This one only has ¼ inch padding between me and the toilet seat when I sat on it on Day 1. I haven't gained weight, I'm only 5'1". I even use a foot stool to keep my feet from dragging on my bad legs! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Update: 2nd one died after 45 days! Either cheaper foam or old foam. Disappointed! After 1½ years the foam padding died, and I needed to buy a new one. So happy with this product I didn't even look at other items, just ordered another one. The 2 inch padding works great at preventing most of my leg pain. Has SOFT comfortable vinyl cover that won't crack easily. It's way better than the expensive but cheaply made ½ inch padded toilet seats you can buy, with the hard vinyl that cracks within weeks and barely pads the seat. I was having to buy new padded toilet seats every 2 months. I would tape up the cracks at first, but the sticky edges of the white vent tape was definitely not a sanitary idea on a toilet. And it gets expensive at $30+ every time. Only problem I have with the pad is that because it's 2 inches thick, the toilet seat lid doesn't go down. That's a twofold problem. 1. When you flush everything sprays (invisible) at least 4 feet. Do an internet search, you will no longer leave tooth brushes or anything out when you flush. 2. Looks gross without a lid. Embarrassing if I have company. I halfway solved this by taking the lid from my vinyl cracked padded toilet seat. I use it to cover the toilet when I flush and when it's not in use. Since I have a "self closing toilet lid" it's curved to the inside. Surprisingly the old padded lid fits perfectly inside the lid. So when I lean back, I am leaning on the padded part of the old lid. The hard top of the old lid sits inside my toilet seat lid. But it still LOOKS funky. Really wish the pad came with a simple thin plastic cover for when not in use, and while flushing. It would LOOK and BE more sanitary with a simple thin plastic removable lid that covered the entire 2 inch pad that reaches all the way to the toilet.

Crushed more than cushioned

Yes, it was excellent ! We especially liked how easy it was to put on and off the toilet. Would recommend to others.

I ordered the 4" version after another brand cushion I used for many years finally died on me. I must say that I expected much more for the price paid ($59.99). It's considerably narrower than expected and doesn't really offer much in the way of cushioning as a result. I cannot in good conscience recommend this for anyone unless they are very skinny. Anyone who is regular sized or bigger will not be happy at all. I would have only given one star but it does seem to be made well and between the suction cups and the straps does seem to stay put, so I gave the 2nd star for the build quality. Maybe the makers will redo the product and add another inch or two to the width of the cushion. Nobody wants to feel like they are sitting on train tracks while doing their business, even if they are cushioned tracks. It's just not comfortable which is the entire reason someone buys a toilet seat cushion to begin with. If you do an improved wider version feel free to send me one to evaluate for you.

Comfortable and work.Perfect to raise my toilet seat up a few inches

Un peu déçu par ce coussin, les ventouses n'accrochent pas assez sur la lunette de WC, et n'est pas stable quand on s'assoit. A noter que ma cure WC est une forme V, et ce coussin n'est pas bien adapté a cette forme. Bref retour de l'article....

Muy adecuado para lo que lo quiero. Cómodo y fácil de instalar

This doesn't provide any support after a few days of using , a very cheap and soft material (I am 175 lbs)

Clean toilet seat and wipe suction cups with damp cloth to remove any dust and helps them to stick better....

Super bequem, vorallem nach Hüftoperationen eine Wohltat. Halterungskonzept sehr gut gelöst, verrutscht nicht. Bin glücklich mit dem Kissen.
