Given by ex's nan, also with matching fluffy seat cover as well. I mean, really who in their right mind would buy these.

Id rather my toilet seat be covered in ice and have my arse surgically removed each time i sit on it than place my bottom on one of these.

Do you not lift the seat before you sit down or is that just me?

Not my taste, probably not the most hygienic option.

They are definitely a Nan type product! My granny used to have them in the eighties, they were the height of luxury and sophistication according to her!

TWinklyLittleStar · 08/01/2013 11:10

Wow, I've seen seat covers but not for decades years, and never seat covers. Struggling to imagine anything less hygienic.

TWinklyLittleStar · 08/01/2013 11:11

I mean I've seen lid covers.

AlienananaReflux · 08/01/2013 11:12

That.Is.Hideous!!

even though it's on the top of the lid, with my DS (and DH when pissed) it would soon end up gross!

foxache · 08/01/2013 11:12

You used to see these all the time, along with fluffy toilet roll holders. I feel quite nostalgic Grin

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 08/01/2013 11:13

I would have one if I lived on my own.

My biggest fantasy after spending the last 3 weeks wiping dd's and dh's pee off the toilet seat EVERY time I go in there is to have my own loo.

I want to move to a house with 3 toilets, one each and NOONE would be allowed to shite in my loo.

Yes I'm very glad they both went back to school today Grin

Pickles77 · 08/01/2013 11:15

Gosh my mum had that, in green.
Matching mat on the floor, side of the bath, loo roll holder and towels.

SarahWarahWoo · 08/01/2013 11:16

At one time these were very popular, I am sure that no offense was intended..

Ooh, my Japanese friend used to have a seat cover when she lived in London, apparently they are very popular in Japan. Felt like I was going to the loo on a pile of towels! Hmm

Don't even want to imagine how disgusting they would get with children using the loo....!!!!! Shock

akaemmafrost · 08/01/2013 11:20

Everyone had these when I was a kid.

'Naturally quietens the sound of your loo flushing' Grin

Pandemoniaa · 08/01/2013 11:23

I'm not paranoid about poo bugs but I fail to see why anyone would want one of these tasteless germ havens. Nearly as bad as carpet on the lavvy floor.

TWinklyLittleStar · 08/01/2013 11:24

laurie one of the best things about the holiday apartment we stayed in last year was the number of bathrooms, DH had his own pooping toilet :)

realcoalfire · 08/01/2013 11:26

She must really hate you! Wink

HecatePropolos · 08/01/2013 11:29

ahhh, that takes me back.

My grandparents had one of those, in green.

And the matching mat by the bath and the one that goes round the loo. these things

except green and fluffy.

Morloth · 08/01/2013 11:29

A major deciding factor for our house was the number of toilets and the proximity of the family bathroom to the master bedroom. It is close, close enough to almost be another ensuite.

Which is lucky for DH as the actual ensuite is MINE all fucking MINE. None of them are allowed in there. MINE.

3 bathrooms and 4 people is just about OK, would like another one though, you can't have too many...

AmberLeaf · 08/01/2013 11:29

I remember when I first left home feeling so proud of my towelling toilet LID cover, it was white egyptian cotton. Grin

Obviously now I have three children and taste I don't have one anymore.

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 08/01/2013 11:36

Oh ewwwwww, men and kids would not treat them well.

My mums house has 2 ensuites, main bathroom and downstairs loo, Mum claimed her ensuite, my sister has her own ensuite, my sisters aunt has the main bathroom, and the downstairs loo is open season.

oldraver · 08/01/2013 11:49

Greg we have a similar set up only OH has his own bedroom and only comes into mine at the weekend and holidays

I was quite glad he's gone back to work

AlienananaReflux · 08/01/2013 11:52

Never even dreamed of my own toilet!! will now though

foxache · 08/01/2013 12:03

I have to have the same toilet as ds, just to check it's been flushed and is empty. Why won't he flush? Confused

serant · 08/01/2013 12:04

own bedrooms & toilets are the way forward, definate advantages.

KenLeeeeeee · 08/01/2013 12:05

My Nan would have loved this. She had a pink padded loo seat instead, which she was very pleased with and enjoyed explaining to everybody just how much more comfortable her bottom was now she didn't have to sit on a cold hard seat anymore.
