Grrrr! It's not as if I'm doing anything out of the ordinary on there, just the 'bog' standard manoeuvres, but it doesn't seem to matter where I purchase, or how much I pay, I always end up with a slidey seat! Please, if you can recommend one to me, I will be forever grateful, and secure in my toilet positioning! Grin

The company sent the bottom-loading seat kit and now it fits perfectly. No more slipping!

I've got a cheapo plastic soft close one which doesn't slide due to the way it fastens on. It's brilliant. I think it was from Amazon. Had it 6 months and it's never slid, the one we had before it was terrible.

They've all got cheap plastic fittings, these days. Preferred the old ones that rusted within about a fortnight, in the process fusing tight, so nothing shifted, ever, even if you wanted it to.

I think there may be something in the way you sit theory.

I have only had 1 loo where this happened and you had to approach it from the side. All other loos could be reversed evenly on to.

I am convinced it's to do with whether the users stand or sit to wipe! Blush

We had this problem with endless toilet seats, I was googling for a solution and came upon a recommendation for a seat on a plumbers forum, reviews on screwfix were great. It's literally the best £20 I ever spent!

For some reason my phone has stopped copying and pasting so can't link but it's the Carrera and Matta seat available from screwfix.

Yes its a problem. Try leaving in a rented place and landlord doesnt want to do anything. As its part of fittings we cant change the seat. Makes trips to the toilet interesting.

Toilet seats are rubbish. I have boys, they corrode the fittings with badly aimed wee and we often have to replace them. I'm sure " in the old days" they were made of proper metal and didn't dissolve on contact with urine.
