True Toilet: The Perfect Special Needs Toilet Seat Attachment

Before buying a toilet seat attachment, check three things: bowl shape, mounting-hole spacing, and seat or hinge clearance. True Toilet comes in round and elongated versions, so measure from the mounting holes to the front edge and confirm your hardware before choosing the correct model.

Choosing the right toilet attachment for men starts with fit, not features.

A round attachment installed on an elongated bowl, or vice versa, can create poor alignment and may require a return or exchange. Specialty toilet seats, unusual hinges, tank clearance, and nonstandard mounting arrangements can also affect compatibility.

For True Toilet, the first decision is simple: Is your toilet round or elongated?

Quick Fit Check: Which True Toilet Do You Need?

Question 1: Is Your Toilet Bowl Round or Elongated?

Round bowl:
Choose the round toilet urinal attachment.

Elongated bowl:
Choose the elongated toilet urinal attachment.

Not sure? Measure before ordering.

Question 2: Does Your Toilet Have a Standard Seat-Mounting Setup?

Check:

the distance between the mounting holes
clearance between the mounting area and toilet tank
existing hinge design
whether you currently have a specialty seat
whether anything else occupies the seat-mounting area

If your toilet has unusual hardware, an integrated bidet, proprietary hinges, or another nonstandard setup, review the fit and compatibility questions before purchasing.

Round vs. Elongated Toilet Seat Attachments

True Toilet currently comes in two versions.

Feature	Round Version	Elongated Version
Approximate seat dimensions	15.2" × 16.6"	15.2" × 19"
Bowl style	Round	Elongated
Current price	$179	$179
New plumbing required	No	No
Existing toilet seat removed	Yes	Yes
Best fit	Compatible standard round toilet	Compatible standard elongated toilet

The width is similar. The major difference is the front-to-back length.

That is why identifying bowl shape before ordering matters.

How to Measure Your Toilet for an Attachment

You need two measurements before buying.

Measurement 1: Bowl Length

Measure from the center of the toilet-seat mounting holes straight forward to the front edge of the toilet bowl.

This measurement helps distinguish between round and elongated configurations.

As a visual rule:

round bowls have a shorter front-to-back shape
elongated bowls extend farther forward and appear more oval

True Toilet's published overall seat dimensions are approximately:

Round: 15.2" × 16.6"
Elongated: 15.2" × 19"

Do not choose solely from a photograph. Measure the actual toilet.

Measurement 2: Mounting-Hole Spacing

Next, measure center to center between the two toilet-seat mounting holes.

This tells you whether your toilet uses a conventional mounting arrangement or something unusual.

Do not measure from the outside edge of one hole to the outside edge of the other.

Measure:

center of left hole → center of right hole

True Toilet is designed for many standard toilet configurations, but the current product information does not publish a universal numeric bolt-spread guarantee for every toilet model.

If your mounting arrangement appears unusual, verify compatibility before ordering.

Don't Forget Seat and Hinge Clearance

Bowl length is not the only fit consideration.

Look closely at the rear mounting area.

A toilet seat attachment needs enough room for its:

mounting hardware
hinges
moving components
upright position
clearance from the tank

Check whether your current toilet has:

oversized hinges
concealed mounting hardware
unusual bolt covers
a very close tank-to-seat gap
an integrated seat design
built-in electronics

These details can matter even when the bowl itself is the correct shape.

What About Seat Thickness?

Seat thickness can affect how replacement hardware sits and aligns.

Before buying, look at your existing setup from the side and inspect:

how high the seat sits above the bowl
how the hinges attach
whether spacers or bumpers are being used
whether another accessory is installed underneath the seat
whether there is enough room around the mounting area

True Toilet replaces the existing toilet-seat setup rather than simply being placed over the top of the current seat.

That makes specialty-seat compatibility particularly important to check.

Will It Work With a Soft-Close Toilet Seat?

Do not assume that your existing soft-close toilet seat will remain in place.

True Toilet's installation process involves removing the existing toilet seat and replacing it with the True Toilet seat-and-attachment setup.

Therefore, if you currently have a third-party soft-close seat, its soft-close mechanism should not be assumed to transfer to or work together with the attachment.

If retaining soft-close functionality is important, confirm the exact configuration before purchasing.

Does It Fit a Bidet Seat?

A bidet seat needs extra attention.

Electronic and non-electronic bidet seats can have:

proprietary mounting plates
water connections
electrical components
different hinge positions
greater seat thickness
unique rear clearances

Because True Toilet uses the existing toilet-seat mounting area, do not assume it can be stacked with or installed alongside every bidet seat.

Measure the toilet itself and verify the specific bidet configuration before buying.

If you currently use a bidet seat, check the fit and compatibility questions or contact True Toilet before removing or replacing the existing setup.

Material: What Is the Attachment Made From?

True Toilet is made from ABS plastic.

ABS is commonly used where a lightweight, molded and durable plastic component is needed.

For a toilet seat attachment, the practical considerations are:

ease of wiping
resistance to normal bathroom use
manageable weight
molded shape
routine cleaning

Material quality matters, but fit is still more important.

A well-made attachment that does not align correctly with the toilet is not the right attachment for that bathroom.

How Is a Toilet Seat Attachment Installed?

True Toilet is designed to use the existing toilet-seat mounting area.

The basic installation sequence is:

Remove the existing toilet seat.
Position the True Toilet assembly.
Align it with the toilet's mounting points.
Secure the attachment according to the supplied instructions.
Check that the seat is stable.
Confirm that the urinal attachment moves correctly and has enough tank clearance.

True Toilet describes installation as requiring no special tools or new plumbing.

The exact time can vary depending on the condition of your existing seat hardware.

Older bolts or unusual mounting systems may take longer to remove.

Does a Toilet Seat Attachment Require Plumbing?

No new urinal plumbing is required for True Toilet.

The funnel directs urine toward the toilet bowl, so it uses the toilet and plumbing already installed in the bathroom.

You are not adding a separate:

drain
urinal water supply
flush valve
waste connection

This is one of the major differences between a toilet-seat urinal attachment and installing a separate wall-mounted urinal.

What Else Should You Check Before Buying?

Fit should come first, but several other practical factors matter.

1. Who Will Use It?

Consider the height and bathroom habits of the intended users.

True Toilet has an adjustable urinal component designed to be positioned for standing use.

2. How Often Will It Be Used?

For repeated use in the same bathroom, a fixed attachment may be more convenient than repeatedly positioning and storing a portable pee funnel.

3. Is the Bathroom Shared?

The attachment needs to remain out of the way when other household members use the toilet while sitting.

Check that the installed arrangement works for everyone who shares the bathroom.

4. Is Reversibility Important?

A seat-mounted attachment is more reversible than installing a separate plumbed urinal.

If you later decide to remove it, the toilet can generally return to a conventional seat setup.

Keep the original seat and hardware if you think you may want to reinstall them later.

Cleaning and Maintenance Expectations

A urinal toilet seat attachment comes into direct contact with urine, so cleaning should be part of the buying decision.

Clean Urine-Contact Surfaces Regularly

Include the funnel and nearby components in the normal toilet-cleaning routine.

Do not wait until visible residue or odor develops.

Use a Material-Compatible Cleaner

Because True Toilet uses ABS plastic, follow the manufacturer's care instructions and use cleaners appropriate for the material.

Avoid assuming that every abrasive or harsh toilet cleaner is suitable for plastic components.

Inspect Hinges and Moving Parts

Check periodically for:

dried residue
buildup
restricted movement
loose hardware
trapped moisture

Keep Cleaning the Toilet Normally

A urinal attachment does not remove the need to clean the:

toilet bowl
seat
attachment
mounting area
floor
nearby splash zones

It is a bathroom attachment, not a self-cleaning fixture.

Can You Move the Attachment Between Toilets?

Yes, the attachment is removable, but moving it between toilets is practical only when the destination toilet is also compatible.

Before transferring it, compare:

bowl shape
bowl length
mounting-hole spacing
hinge clearance
tank clearance

A round attachment should not be assumed to fit an elongated toilet simply because both toilets have conventional seat bolts.

If you regularly need the device in two bathrooms, repeated removal and reinstallation may also be less convenient than choosing a permanent location.

Common Fit Mistakes to Avoid

Buying by Appearance Alone

A toilet can look almost round in a photograph while actually being elongated.

Better: Measure it.

Measuring From the Wrong Point

Do not start the bowl-length measurement from the back of the tank or rear edge of the seat.

Better: Measure from the center of the seat-mounting holes to the front of the bowl.

Ignoring the Mounting Holes

Correct bowl shape does not automatically guarantee mounting compatibility.

Better: Measure center-to-center spacing and inspect the hardware.

Forgetting About the Tank

The attachment needs enough space to operate around the rear of the toilet.

Better: Check tank and hinge clearance.

Assuming It Works With Every Specialty Seat

Bidet, heated, raised, soft-close and electronically controlled seats may use different mounting systems.

Better: Treat specialty-seat compatibility as something to verify, not assume.

Two-Minute Toilet Attachment Fit Check

Use this before ordering.

Step 1: Identify Your Bowl

Is it round?

Measure the toilet and compare it with the round configuration.

→ View the round toilet urinal attachment

Is it elongated?

Measure the longer oval bowl and compare it with the elongated configuration.

→ View the elongated toilet urinal attachment

Step 2: Check the Mounting Area

Ask:

Are the mounting holes conventional and accessible?
Is there enough clearance around the hinges?
Is there enough room near the tank?
Is there a bidet or specialty seat already installed?
Does anything unusual occupy the mounting area?

Standard setup with adequate clearance: proceed to the correct round or elongated product.

Nonstandard or uncertain setup: review the fit and compatibility questions before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a round or elongated toilet seat attachment?

Measure from the center of the toilet-seat mounting holes to the front edge of the bowl and identify the bowl shape. True Toilet's round version measures approximately 15.2 × 16.6 inches, while the elongated version measures approximately 15.2 × 19 inches.

What measurements matter when buying a toilet seat attachment?

The two most useful measurements are the front-to-back bowl length from the center of the mounting holes to the front edge and the center-to-center distance between the mounting holes. Also inspect hinge, tank and accessory clearance.

Will a toilet seat attachment fit every toilet?

No fit should be assumed for every toilet. True Toilet is designed for many standard configurations and comes in round and elongated versions, but unusual bowls, proprietary hinges, specialty seats or nonstandard mounting arrangements should be checked individually.

Will it fit with my existing soft-close seat?

True Toilet replaces the existing toilet seat rather than simply sitting on top of it. Therefore, do not assume that a third-party soft-close seat or its mechanism can remain installed. Verify the intended configuration before purchasing if soft-close functionality is important.

Can I use it with a bidet seat?

Compatibility with separate bidet seats should not be assumed. Bidet seats may use their own mounting plates, plumbing, electronics and rear clearance. Check the exact toilet and bidet configuration before ordering.

Can I move the attachment between toilets?

The attachment can be removed and reinstalled, but the second toilet also needs to have the correct bowl shape, mounting arrangement and clearance. A round attachment should not be moved to an elongated toilet unless the product is specifically compatible.

Does it require new plumbing?

No new urinal plumbing is required. True Toilet uses the existing toilet bowl and drainage system.

How difficult is it to remove?

It is installed at the toilet-seat mounting area rather than as a separate plumbed fixture, so it can be removed and the toilet returned to a conventional seat configuration. The exact removal process depends on the toilet hardware.
