2. Padded seats are unsanitary

The plastic cracks and :scared: gets in and multiplies.

3. Other...

padded, heated, and with built in bidet. Japanese styles yo...and I'm not talking about the slipper style either.

7. $270.50 for a toilet?

I supposed it washes you when you are done. Adjusts for male - female?

14. I can get you one that costs more than that

Give me 48 hours and I can get you a $1200 Kohler. It's black. It has gold-plated fittings. It's cast in one piece. It is a beautiful shitter, and I have sold three of them to the same person.

Is it worth $1200? If you are building a $500,000 house, you are not going to put the $79 Toilet In A Box or the $49 Mexican Special Value in the bathrooms.

Give me 72 hours and $1500 and I can get you one of the old-fashioned cans that has the tank sitting six feet above the bowl. In this era of itty-bitty tanks, the acceleration caused by dropping the flush water six feet really helps it work better.

Once again, $500,000 house /= $80 toilet.

I sold someone a fuckin' $80 Soap Dispenser. There's no accounting for taste.

17. Talk to Halliburton...

I'm sure that they could get you one for more than that...

9. Padded all the way!

10. I Just Don't Spend That Much Time On The Toilet Seat To Care

if the seat isn't padded.

Although I do understand that for some folks, the toilet is indeed a "throne" and quite the religious experience that takes 45 minutes or more.

11. i've had two padded seats and they eventually split

and pinch and/or stick your ass. i just replaced the seat with a comfy non padded contoured plastic seat.

12. Non-padded, non-contoured, hard as a rock and cold as the Yukon.

That's how I likes my torlets.

13. Padded seats really creep me out for some reason.

Maybe grossed out is closer to what I mean.

[daligirrl]

18. I agree

It feels too much like "furniture". Like I'm sitting on my sofa. Doesn't facilitate the flow of things, if you know what I mean.

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. I could use an outhouse and be comfy. n/t

[TXlib]

16. padded seats encourage people to park and read the entire Sunday Times.

pisses me off.

19. If you've ever sat on a cracked, wet, & squishy padded seat...

...you wouldn't have to ask that question. I'll never sit on a padded toilet again :puke:

[ForrestGump]

20. Give me the Puritan toilet seat ethic

Padded ones tend to be less hygienic and, for some reason, make my legs fall asleep really quickly.

21. No pad stands a chance in this house

I have a cat.

A punctured pad is as useless as a flat volleyball.
