After toileting, how do you pull up your underwear and pants (by yourself) if you can't stand long enough or have sufficient balance to stand unsupported? Is there a piece of equipment you use to help, such as a standing pole or a toilet bench that allows you to lean side to side to scoot up your pants? I'm having a heck of a time figuring this out. Thanks for your help!

Would toilet safety rails help?

I am lucky enough to have help with this now. My hubby pulls me up to a horizontal bar as I can still weight bear a little or my caregiver and I do the "lean to and fro" dance on the w/c and toilet. Stretchyyyy pants and underpants help also. My caregiver says the medical stores that sell clothing have some sort of special pants for this type of thing.
Take care.
