I disagree. Plenty of frank, mature, graphic discussion there: (apologies to those sensitive to this)
" Visits from the in-laws mean the toilets will be corked. And now we know my son inherited a lovely, uh, genetic advancement called irritable bowl syndrome. ....... The downside is that every three days they give birth to a high density single object of disgust that is the size of a grande burrito packed with rice and beans. No joke, these objects are 2"-2.5" in width and 6 inches long and packed like hard frozen ice cream. "
"This works well with the commonly sized 7/8" by 4" human waste weighing 50 grams that the average person puts out. By the way, a healthy male can put out 250 grams of waste at a time. If you have to move something 2"-2.5" in width and 6 inches long, then you have an unusual problem. That is huge! 2-1/2" is larger than any of the trapways mentioned except on the Caroma."
"Best flusher for a salami - So, it's great that all these toilets can swallow golf balls and sponges. I need one that swallows something large and firm for a household member who regularly clogs the toilet! "
" I am buying a new toilet - looking at the toto vespin. I want to be sure it is not a "splasher" when you go #2. " "This is not something that is controlled by the toilet. It is a lot more dependent on your weapons delivery system, delivery method, size/weight of the bomb.... "
"our builder installed an elongated bowl that is not deep enough in the front. This causes an uncomfortable splash in the front whenever she urinates."
"I need some input from women........ Some of the toilets apparently deflect a few drops of water/urine back on some women as they pee. ...... They all said they have experienced this annoying back-spray with some toilets.......... It must have something to do with the shape of the bowl, perhaps the height of the toilet, toilet seat, the build of the woman, the strength of the flow.......... the tenant (who never complains - a very nice lady) doesn't like to use it because of the splash-back problem. "
" The problem occurs when my wife uses the toilet. Urine entering the bowl splashes back onto the underneath of the toilet seat (and sometimes on her). This occurs right at the front of the seat........ It is not a few drops. It is an amount that is large enough that you can smell it if it is not immediately cleaned from the seat......... "So I have been silently horrified about this little secret and luckily it only happens with me about 10% of the time. Its generally when the pee stream is really strong like when your bladder is overly full. Not only does some splash on the top of the toilet seat in front but it even has landed on the floor at times! "
" I think much of this is a matter of an individual's body shape and size. A few weeks ago we discussed a problem where some man's genitals fell below the waterline when he sat on certain toilets. I really don't think there are many things in life where the term "one size fits all" truly applies. "
Again, its important to remember that a lot of this discussion is about people with challenges (medical, body physiology, medications, etc.) that require frank discussion to find solutions. The site owner, Terry Love, shares his own personal experience while he went through cancer treatment. People uncomfortable with this would probably be uncomfortable gutting a deer or visiting a slaughter house, both everyday things that are part of life.
Still waiting for recommendations for best toilet bowl wax!
