Getting started with the bedside commode.

First things first, you'll want to position the bedside commode next to the bed within easy reach. Make sure the area is well-lit so you can see what you're doing. Check that the commode is clean and free of any obstructions before getting started.

Sitting down on the commode.

When it's time to use the commode, simply sit down on the seat with the backrest for support. Make sure to lower yourself onto the seat gently to avoid any accidents. If needed, you can use the armrests for extra support while sitting.

Using the commode for urination or bowel movements.

Once you're comfortably seated on the commode, you can use it for urination or bowel movements. Simply relax and let nature take its course. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to ask for help from a caregiver or family member.

Cleaning up after use.

After you've finished using the commode, it's important to clean yourself up properly. You can use toilet paper or wet wipes to clean yourself. Make sure to dispose of any used wipes in the trash bin and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Emptying and cleaning the bedside commode.

When the commode is full or needs to be cleaned, you'll need to empty and clean it properly. Simply remove the bucket from the commode and dispose of the contents in the toilet. You can then clean the commode with soap and water or disinfectant wipes to keep it germ-free.

Storing the bedside commode.

Once you're done using the commode, make sure to store it in a safe and secure place. You can place it next to the bed or in a closet where it's easily accessible when needed. Remember to keep the commode clean and in good condition for future use.

Final thoughts.
