To think that bath rugs that fit around the toilet are completely naff

[HarlinRay]

I found a beautiful bath rug but husband has vetoed it because it doesn’t come in a set with the U-shaped mat that goes around the toilet pedestal. I thought the only reason we had one to begin with was that it came as part of a cheap set he bought to hold us over until we found the rug of our dreams for the new bath but he’s decided he can’t live without one now. I should LTB right?

[DerbyshireGirly]

Eugh, piss receptacle

[verybritishproblems]

Yeah I thought they weren’t fashionable since the 80s...

[HowLongCanICallitBabyWeight]

Ugh rancid, no need, if he can't pee in the toilet he should sit down not have a piss rug to mop up the splashes

[TheFormerPorpentinaScamander]

I've never been entirely sure whether they go round the toilet or the sink. Growing up there seemed to be a 50/50 split in the houses we visited

[Justgorgeous]

If it’s coral colour you should definitely leave.

[sadpapercourtesan]

I like them. I also change them regularly and don't let them get skanky!

[CarterBeatsTheDevil]

We have solo bathmats

[Clockworkprincess]

Sorry. Can't stand them! Only woman in a houseful of men, including one who can't aim yet 🤮

[MrsSchadenfreude]

They are known as “pisscatchers” for a reason.

[CherryPavlova]

Truly disgusting and a bit seaside town B and B.

[Lollypop4]

Yuck, Germ galore!

[PickAChew]

He's being unreasonable. You need the fluffy toilet seat cover, too.

[littlealexhorne]

I like them, but then I'm almost always barefoot so its nicer underfoot - especially in winter when the floor gets cold.

[BillywilliamV]

Turtle Mats are the only possible bath mats ( and door mats). Expensive but effective and I have had mine for 12 years.

[PawPawNoodle]

We put ours round the sink pedestal, i like not standing on the bare floor brushing my teeth.

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

They are grim. However I've recently moved into a house with wooden floors in the bathroom and I can now see the appeal. I'd rather my 5yos pee soaked into a washable mat than the wood.

[Vodkacranberryplease]

They should be banned. Revolting, unhygienic and not seen in houses post 1970s

[DestinationFkd]

Bloody hell, he will be putting a matching hat on the toilet lid next.
It's a slippery slope I tell you.

[HarlinRay]

Ive relayed ‘pisscatcher’ and ‘1980s BnB’ and he seems to be reconsidering. Let’s hope so. My fault for allowing one into the house in the first place.

I thought they were to keep your feet warm.

I have one, but I also have a toilet brush too.

Mumsnetters are so squeamish.

[indemMUND]

If you find one that does, then is he up for being responsible for cleaning it? It's his piss it'll soak up 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Isthisfinallyit]

I always found the whole idea disgusting.

[ImFree2doasiwant]

I have 3 and 4 yr old sons. Piss catchers are required!

[Thehogfatherstolemycurry]

Love mine, keeps my feet warm. You can wash them you know, have a few, change them regularly. I too have a toilet brush..

[TriangularRatbag]

is he up for being responsible for cleaning it?

Is this really a major chore for anyone with a washing machine?
