Toilet seats

[Nexxis]

I think padded toilet seats are mostly products of ye olde times since the only time I've really seen them are in outdated bathrooms or in the bathrooms of the old fashioned. I have many elderly family members that are guilty of this, but once the seat is ready to be replaced, it's usually replaced by a normal one and the old padded one is never seen again. I think they still sell them, but I don't see them very often.

I'm in the UK. I had one of those things once; it was a toilet seat made out of foam rubber or something.

Christ but it was disturbing to sit on. Give me hard wood any day.

I'm sure you can find some in a gay bar somewhere.

Because it was padded. That is, it had soft cushions lining the ring on which you sit.
What the fuck? Gross, man

Why do you find it gross? I don't have one in my house, but I've used them, they are comfy. Do you generally like sitting on a rock hard chair or a comfy chair?

I don't know quite why I find them gross.
It's just that they make me imagine the sensation of sitting down and feeling the seat squish beneath me. And the feeling of vinyl against my bare buttocks.
Something about a soft toilet seat just disgusts me. And if they're covered in some plush-like fabric as well, that's of course very unhygienic.
The toilet is supposed to be a rigid and stringent place of business; not somewhere to sit down and try to relax.
Maybe hard seats just better compliment the activity.
Also: Those vinyl paddings are just bound to get sticky.

To answer your question: Yes, if I'm only going to be sitting for two minutes, I prefer hard chairs.

I'm gonna go with it's an old persons thing, too. Only in most old peoples houses have I seen these sort of seats. They're comfy, yet really weird to sit on.
I prefer plastic or something, I don't stick around on the toilet.

Its waterproof and they are comfortable. The ring is padded yes. I don't see whats the big deal about it.

Then again I don't see a big deal about that "water spout" thing that cleans you off (that 75% of the world uses) but most Americans find disgusting.
