OUR STORY

Advantage Urinal Systems.

Advantage Urinal Systems began more than 30 years ago with one person trying to make life a little easier for someone he cared about.

Our father, Larry Garlock, was caring for a friend who was staying in our home and needed help several times throughout the night to use a urinal. The experience showed him how difficult such a basic need could become—for both the person needing assistance and the caregiver helping them.

He began thinking about a better solution.

His goal was to create a urinal system that was lightweight, comfortable, reusable throughout the night, easy to manage, and designed to reduce the need for repeated caregiver assistance. Just as importantly, he wanted it to help preserve a person’s privacy, independence, and dignity.

The first prototype was simple, but the idea worked. Over time, our father continued refining the design until the original Standard Male Urinal System was ready for production. As the needs of customers became clearer, additional designs followed, including our male Comfort-Fit, male Close-Fit and Female systems.

What began as an effort to help one person grew into a family business serving individuals, caregivers, healthcare providers, and Veterans across the country.

Today, we are proud to continue what our father started.

We still believe in the same principles that guided him from the beginning: practical design, comfort, reliability, simplicity, and respect for the people using our products.

We understand that something as routine as using the restroom can become difficult because of limited mobility, illness, injury, age, or recovery. Those challenges can affect far more than convenience. They can affect sleep, safety, confidence, privacy, and independence.

For our family, Advantage Urinal Systems is more than a company. It is part of our father’s legacy and a responsibility we are proud to carry forward.
