My father has Parkinson’s and dementia. And he has to go pee. Urination as a whole is one challenge my father faces multiple times daily.
Here’s one way I achieved a clutter-free Number One bathroom experience for people like my dad (Parkinson's and dementia).
He can comfortably stand at the sink and urinate into a Solo Cup #ad.
The solo cup's lightweight design and easy-to-pinch rim suit his weakened muscles. We use a clear solo cup with a party pattern on it, so my dad can find it, and we ain’t having a beer pong party in our bathroom when guests come over.
Solo Cups: A Sign of Good Times. Visit the Solo Store on Amazon.
The worst part about the solo cup for male urination, is where to put the cup when not in use.
Sure my dad rinses it, but you don’t want to mix this cup up with your toothbrush holder or your nighttime gargles.
After thorough research, I landed on a working solution.
Leverloc Soap Holder with Suction Cup for Hanging on Amazon.
Leverloc Shower Caddy Variety Pack which my family bought (includes the Soap Holder to fit the Solo Cup).
Leverloc Suction Cup Bathroom and Shower Organizers on Amazon.
Previously, the cup would inconveniently fall into the sink each time we ran the water.
The suction cup soap hanger I bought saved the day. It sticks directly to the mirror or tile above the sink, and holds the solo cup on its side easy to grab for my dad.
Our left-right sliding mirror moves the attached soap holder like a cute airport tram. Now, a dedicated location holds the cup securely, thanks to the soap bar holder with residue-free high-strength suction cup.
The Leverloc System is now where my dad keeps his bathroom solo cup.
Plus, we keep our liquid hand soap dispenser inside another suction cup holder that comes part of The Leverloc System.
Because why stop at the solo cup? These suction cup holders come in different shapes and sizes - all in bathroom tile white. They prove useful for other bathroom essentials. It’s where we keep our liquid hand soap dispenser.
Now the Hot and Cold faucet handles are free moving with knocking to get knocked into the sink.
It’s bathroom zen for people living with a dude with Parkinson’s, and my dad’s good with this system too.
My family appreciates the convenience of this system. It makes things easy and dignified for my dad during his many-times-per-day urination routine.
