Built for comfort, confidence and everyday use

Our toileting slings are designed to support independence while giving you and your family peace of mind. Many are suitable for both wet and dry environments, making them a practical choice for bathroom use. They're generally best suited to those who are unable to stand without support but are still able to support their own head and neck, allowing them to sit securely and comfortably. If additional support is needed, we also offer a design with built-in head support for extra stability and safety.

Looking for other bathroom or toilet aids?

If a toileting sling isn't the right fit for you or your loved one right now, we have plenty of other options to help make using the bathroom easier and safer. From seat risers to safety frames, our full range of toileting aids is designed to support independent, everyday living.

A toileting sling is a lifting accessory to be used alongside a hoist, with the sling holding the person being moved. It's similar in design to a full-body sling, but has a wider, open design around the lower body, making it easier to adjust clothing and use the toilet comfortably.

To use it, slide the sling behind the person's back and secure them with the built-in straps. Toileting slings attach around the legs in an X shape, leaving open space to use the toilet. Hook the sling to the hoist, take the time to make sure everything's securely fastened, and raise the user slowly into position.

A hoist and a sling work together. The hoist is the mechanical or electrical lifting device used to raise and move someone with limited mobility and the sling is the fabric harness that attaches to the hoist and supports their weight. You can't use one without the other, and it's important to ensure that your hoist and sling are compatible in order to help ensure safe use.

To measure someone for a hoist sling, you'll need the user’s torso height and body width both when sitting or standing as straight as possible. For a standard sling without head support, measure the torso from the tailbone to the top of the shoulders and, if you're looking for a sling with head support, measure from the tailbone to the crown of the head. When it comes to width, measure across the back from one shoulder to the other and across the widest part of the hips. It's also worth double-checking the user's weight against the product's stated limits to make sure it's safe for them to use.

Yes, but only if it has a divided-leg design that can double as a hygiene opening. A dedicated toileting sling has a fully cut-out lower section for easy access, while a universal sling covers more of the body and supports the user from underneath. Because the fabric usually wraps under the thighs, it can trap clothing during a lift, so if you're using a universal sling for toileting, clothing should be lowered or removed before the user is placed into the sling.
