  • Patent number: 10076202
    Abstract: An embodiment of an aid to help disabled persons use the bathroom independently. It includes a cord, attachable to a person's pants at its first end, and a loop which is affixed to the waistband of his or her underpants. The person inserts a clip which is at the second end of the cord through the loop, finally attaching the clip to a place where it may easily be reached, such as his shirt. When using the toilet, he may allow his pants and underpants to drop toward the floor, they being tethered to the cord and attached by the clip to his shirt. His hands may thereby remain free for necessary business. He may easily conclude by grasping the cord and pulling upward, retrieving his pants and underpants simultaneously, without having to bend over.
