Cold toilet seats
 
Does anyone else hate sitting on cold toilet seats? UGH! My house is usually freezing and the bathroom doesn't exactly welcome warmth.

We should design a toilet seat warmer. Any engineers out there?

For some reason our bathrooms stay cold. The rest of the house can be scorching but not the bathroom!

I totally agree about the heated toilet seat. If they can make heated towel racks you'd think someone would come up with a heated toilet seat (and one that puts itself back down after men use it).

My bathroom at work is like peeing in an igloo...but honestly, I prefer that to a warm seat, because a warm seat means that the person before you was there for a nice long stay.:p

Google is an amazing resource. You never know what you'll find! :)

BTW, there are already self-closing seats for those who don't have trained males:

Where I work is designed like a house, with a full attic, kitchen, basement, etc.

When I have to go do #2, I prefer to go to the attic -- the bathrooms (in my opinion) are way too close to people's work stations.

But in the winter that attic bathroom is ca-razay cold! ugh!

One semester of college I had this bi-polar roommate that had been hospitalized in high school for anorexia. She said that toilet seats hurt when she sat down and asked if I would mind if she brough a toilet seat cover.

It wasn't just any seat cover, it was pink and fuzzy (you know, like shag carpet). We had a big argument over it. I told her I refused to sit on it for fear of what I could possibly catch because it couldn't be disinfected.

That was just the start of a long quarter.

I would like to get her something for her car

This thread sounds like a Crohn's blog I read.. she always posts cool toilets she sees since us Crohnies spend so much time in the john.

LucyKKG 01-28-2008 10:42 PM

Ew, the fuzzy toilet seat sounds like a germ breeding ground. Yuck yuck yuck!

Hehe I'm glad my frozen tush led to an amusing thread. :-)

Oh, and $79 is way too much for a warming toilet seat. I wonder if there's some cheaper way to make one yourself...hmmm...science project!

When I was little, my mother had a peach leather toilet seat in her bathroom. Oh, those 80's. :o

honeychile 01-28-2008 11:03 PM

I understand Queen Elizabeth II always travels with her own private commode seat. I've read that so many times, I'd just once like to see WHY she likes that particular seat. I want pictures!!!!!

How easily we are amused

For some reason, my apartment can be freezing, but the bathroom stays ridiculously hot, so I've never had this problem.....

I love it! Do you remember when the toliet paper came in colors to match the bathroom? *lol* My hubby actually LOOKED for it the other day in the store. I haven't seen that stuff in years. :D

I'm super jealous. Teach me your ways!

When I lived in Boston for grad school the house I was renting had an old radiator heat system. Complete with a nice old boiler in the basement.

Let me tell you once they fixed the radiators at the beginning of the winter, those babies would put out some heat even with the knobs "off." Our bathroom had its own and that room was the warmest in the house. Complete with a nice cozy toilet in the morning.

For those that have it-does radiant heat in a bathroom help at all with cold toilet issue? Perhaps if your feet are a least warm, the seat doesn't bother you as much.

Benzgirl 01-29-2008 11:35 AM

My Powder Room is right over the furnace. It's the warmest place in the house

My parents used to have one of those padded toilet seats- it was plastic but was squishy. Apparently their cat didn't like it either because she chewed holes into it and they had to replace it with a normal seat.

I didn't realize they made fuzzy covers for the actual seat part. My mother in law bought me one for the lid (apparently in her world all toilet lids must have covers) but I've never seen one for the seat.

The secret to commode seat lids -the thicker the cover is, the harder it is to leave the seat up. ;)

ah, gotcha. But when you have a 5 year old with bad aim and a 2 year old just starting to use the commode (I'm not even going to coment on the husband) , toilet seat covers are also stink (and who knows what else) magnets!

I did some investigating and realized there's no vent in the bathroom, so when the A/C acts up and does the "too cold" thing, it doesn't stretch to the bathroom. Lol, I'm thinking of camping out in the bathtub for the rest of the winter! It's seriously cold everywhere else and my bed is right next to the window--that's only okay when it's not January.

Lol, and I love the super padded seats that force the male species to put the sucker down! Viva la padded seat! :D

LOL - seriously, what if she has.... a problem? How do they get that seat on in time?


By the way, summer_gphib, I found the cutest tp the other day! It was made for kids, to show them how much to use - so there were paws on a few sheets, then a puppy to show them where to quit! It was made by Cottonelle, I think.

Hahah that's cute...I think...

Have you seen that foamy soap for kids? It's in a purple and green bottle, and there's a frog wiping his butt on the front label. He wipes his butts in commercials, too! (I think its Kandoo?)
