We have a soft close toilet seat but I don’t see the point because you have to start them off, same with cupboard doors and draws so the point is???

Well at least you don't have to hold onto the underside to keep them from slamming into the porcelain. ;-)

And ... there is a small chance that the himselfs among us will be more likely to do the one-touch thing than to complete the entire process. I have found that, since having one (soft-close seat, not the user of it), anyway.

Of course, not long after I replaced the upstairs and downstairs hobbit-height toilets that were there when we moved in with proper-height ones with those self-same self-close seats ... himself just broke the upstairs one off its hinges anyhow.

Sort of agree there ...while hinges are meant to hinge, sometimes they are not robust enough for load bearing...

Bobtanian, the first one we had didn’t last long because hinges weren’t good, the current one is better, I think it is a selling point, hubby likes them but the toilet seat is always up. :-( When he is anywhere else he thinks that that one is soft close too and if it isn’t it slams down lol.

You know they can't think of anything else when their willy is involved!

Lol Sharron, that’s the part of men’s anatomy where all the decisions are made.

Water rates in Devon are expensive. To stave off customer complaints, South West Water came up with a solution of sorts.

While having your morning shower, you could use the same facility to have your first pee of the day . It became known as ‘Go with the flow’.

Please excuse me now because I’m dying for a shower.
