New bathroom - polite term for loo for big poos

38 replies

We are refurbing our bathroom. DH has requested the loos will flush a substantial 💩 in one go. Is there a trade/standard/polite term for this kind of loo?

We have a low flush/water saving loo, don’t get that. You end up flushing it 4-5 times to get rid of a big poo. Which kind of defeats the object of it!

I’m watching this thread with interest, I hate our loo so much.

Oh and if you’re staying in your house a while buy a second loo seat. None of them are bloody standard now, it took me 4 attempts and a mortifying trip to the plumbers merchant with my old loo seat to get one that fits.

@UnfortunateTypo indeed the other loo request is for one that takes a standard loo seat and where you don't have to dismantle the bloody house to put the new loo seat on.

I can recommend the Rak Resort comfort height. A flush from the Gods.

@WholeWorldsPivot DH was on a daily regime of kefir, when it took effect it said it was the most satisfying crap he'd had for years. Sadly I pushed him over the edge by giving him Goats Milk Kefir (like Boursin liquidised in Perrier).

We have normal loos and I’ve never had an issue where I can’t flush a poo in one flush!!! What size poos is your husband doing!?!?!

I have found out, over many years of being on the loo floor with screws and nuts, that there is no such thing as a 'standard loo seat' Shock

Watching as my loo is diabolical at flushing poos in one go. Always thought it was due to the angle of the waste pipe?

We've just refurbished our ensuite. Having falling foul of crap flushing loos in our other bathrooms, I was determined to get a different type this time around.
We bought a Roca toilet complete with Roca cistern in a cabinet. Has worked absolutely brilliantly so far (been in for 12 months now). Can't remember the toilet style but it was almost rectangular in shape - but it doesn't have the narrow 'exit' in the bowl that my other toilets have.

I’d pay him to come and shit round my dahlias.

I second this. I was so worried when we refurbed our bathroom that a new modern toilet wouldn't flush well. We chose the RAK Resort Comfort Height as OH is very tall. We had no real idea what the flush would be like.

Turns out that it's excellent, even better than our old toilet even though the cistern is half the size.

DH chose our loo when we refurbished our bathroom.

It has a long sloping part at the front and a tiny hole …. meaning the poo often ends up on the ceramic 🤮. Ridiculous design.
