Best Portable Toilet for Elderly or Limited Mobility – Dry Flush Wins 2025 ATSA Innovation Award

Jul 29, 2025

When mobility becomes a challenge, toileting shouldn’t be. For many elderly individuals, people recovering from surgery, or those with disabilities, using the bathroom independently can become a daily struggle—especially when the home environment isn’t set up for it. That’s why so many are turning to the Dry Flush Toilet.


Recently awarded Best New Product at the 2025 ATSA Independent Living Expo, the Dry Flush Toilet is rapidly becoming the go-to portable toilet for both personal and professional care settings.


Why the Dry Flush is Ideal for the Home

For families or individuals caring for someone with mobility challenges, the Dry Flush offers freedom, dignity, and an easy setup—no plumbing required.

Benefits for Users & Families:

  • No smell, no mess – Seals waste instantly, no handling required.

  • Set up anywhere – No plumbing, water, or chemicals needed.

  • Discreet & stylish – Looks like a real toilet, no medical feel.

  • No cleaning – Just replace the liner when it’s full. That's it.

  • Stores Waste - This means you can go days or weeks without the need for a carer.

It’s perfect for:

  • Beside-the-bed toileting

  • Homes with inaccessible bathrooms

  • Temporary mobility loss or post-surgery recovery

  • Off-grid living or emergency situations


Why OTs & Carers Recommend Dry Flush

Occupational Therapists and support workers are increasingly turning to the Dry Flush as a safer, cleaner solution to traditional commodes and chemical toilets.

At ATSA 2025, OTs and carers praised the Dry Flush for its ability to:

  • Reduce manual handling – No need to empty or clean a commode

  • Minimise hygiene risk – Sealed waste means no cross-contamination

  • Support independent toileting – Just a push of a button to flush

  • Integrate into funding options easily

"It’s revolutionary for home care setups. We can finally offer clients a toilet solution that doesn’t compromise on hygiene, dignity, or ease of use." — OT, ATSA 2025


Industry-Recognised Innovation

Winning Best New Product at the 2025 ATSA Independent Living Expo wasn’t just a trophy—it was recognition that Dry Flush is changing how waste is handled in aged care, disability support, and personal homes across New Zealand.

If you’re an OT, carer, or family member supporting someone with limited mobility, the Dry Flush could be the most dignified and stress-free toilet solution available today.
