Replaced a toilet seat today

One of those things I've meant to do for a while. Only took five minutes.

Whenever I'd move into a new apartment, new toilet seat is a week one project lol

A toilet seat is a toilet seat, am I wrong? Unless it’s a bidet seat

You're wrong, some are definitely more comfortable than others.

And the soft closing seats are a lifesaver! Every seat I install needs to be a soft closing seat now.

I dislike soft closing seats because they come with soft closing lids. And soft closing lids close too slowly. So I need to hold down the lid with force while I flush, or poo microparticles will get all over the bathroom. I could just wait for the lid to close before I flush, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Courtesy flush while still seated. That's a twofer (no pun intended)

Yep. My bidet in the master bathroom automatically opens and closes but we do have a soft close in the secondary. So nice.

I do have the problem now that when I use someone else's bathroom, I either leave it open because mine closes itself, or I just tap it to close because of the soft close one at home so it slams closed.

It's embarrassing sometimes.

Rookie...there are round and elongated (giggity), the kind that slam down and slow close, heated and padded. There are entire engineering classes dedicated to the human ass.

Right after new shower head...

Dave@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 4d (2 replies)

New? Last time I moved house I just swapped the shower head from the old house with the one at the new house, no one is paying that much attention. Wife thought I was crazy but I have no regrets.

True, I've had same shower head for 4 apartments now

Nice! We just did this and got one of those slow close ones with the easy clean quick release; absolutely love it!

Ertain@feddit.online · 2 pts · 4d

Nicely done.
