Fabric toilet seat cover

Friend has a toilet seat cover - on the actual seat not the lid. AIBU or is that gross? I cringed as I half sat / half hovered over it. It is like the fluffy pile cover of a bathroom mat but like all flattened from people sitting on it.

A not too intelligent family member used to have one of these. A horrible pink one. Until she asked me why I always went home to use the loo and I wasn't too kind with my answer.

Why anyone would buy something so grim I'll never know. Envy

She is late 20s, not 95. And no, I didn't mention it - just but h about it on here! She's just one of those pepper less fussed by this sort of thing.

So glad I'm not the only one!

Ugh!

And while we're on the subject of absorbent materials in the loo zone, carpet is not acceptable.

Ohh a friend of mine had one of these when I was at school and visiting her house. I covered my hand with loo roll, pulled it off and put it on the floor. Then forgot to put it back on and got in trouble Grin I thought it was some kind of toilet decoration, it was that kind of house!

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 16:23

Where would one even purchase one of those!

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 16:25

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 16:26

Its kind of accessorising gone too far.

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 29/10/2013 16:29

I feel the need to knit one of these now.

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 29/10/2013 16:29

I'd use a cheapy acrylic wool, so it was washable.

Hooleywhipper · 29/10/2013 16:33

Why?!!

MrsMook · 29/10/2013 16:35

I'd forgotten about fluffy toilet lid covers. Never come across one on the seat before. (Lifts eyes to Heaven and says ta)

Can anyone crochet me the steering wheel cover? I can't crochet.

angelinajelly · 29/10/2013 16:40

This is the most disgusting thing I've read since the bog brush in the dishwasher. What is it about this site and poo-related threads?

And why are they so completely compelling?

Elderly relatives I hardly ever visited had one in the 80's. It was peach coloured.

They also had a pretty doll on the cistern....I picked it up and a roll of loo paper fell down the loo. How was I supposed to know it was a "toilet roll cover"? I put pulled the loo roll from the toilet and put it back, soaking wet, under the doll. Do you think they ever figured out it was me? Confused

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 17:17

I dont even like them mats that go around the bottom.of the toilet of the floor,i do wonder does the fabric contain wee wee.

Bumblequeen · 29/10/2013 18:29

Errgh! How unhygienic.

Carpets and fluffy covers do not belong in a bathroom.

Akifden · 29/10/2013 20:35

Yuck! Agree nothing fluffy in the bathroom. Made me laugh, I've seen it all now!

mousmous · 29/10/2013 20:45

eww.
my aunt (in 80's US) had a soft plastic cover for the loo seat. it made a sort of pffffffffffffffffffft sound when sitting down and stuck to your cheeks.
I think it was pink with frills that made a pretty pattern on your thighs

JamNan · 29/10/2013 20:56

I once came across one of these in the States. It frightened the life out of me!

WhizzFucker · 29/10/2013 20:57

Those poo-coloured crochet toilet seat covers look like just the thing for xmas presents to people you hate.

JamNan · 29/10/2013 21:02

Gawd so traumatised I didn't finish my post.

OP I am dying to know what colour it was and if (whispers) it was slimy at all?
