r/toilet

so first of all,

the last three rentals my boyfriend has rented have had strictly male toilets and over like 5 years, I think using them as a female has made my haemorrhoids worse as my feet never ever touch the ground taking a shit unless basically in public? maybe I’m wrong, and it’s just the name that the design takes on, and there’s no scientific reason for such- like female vs male joinery?

Hello all. I'm just a neurodivergent Mama looking for advice for my 9(m) year old son. He has been hyper fixated on two things his whole life. Caterpillars and Toilets. But not just how the toilet is made but the plumbing as well. He can identify all the pieces that compile toilets and their plumbing. The year make and model essentially of a toilet just looking one time too lol. Anyways, he wants an actual toilet so he can take it a part. I've searched for mini toilets but can't seem to find what he's looking for. I'm sorry if this post doesn't make sense. Idk how to explain what he wants fully. If you've made it this far. Thank you!! I've cross posted to plumbing as well. Hoping I get an answer.

As he is neurodivergent as well, this kid would be tickled to death to shadow an actual plumber. It would make his whole day!

Just got a home and i need to replace the toilets. They are old and raggedy. I’m doing some research on a good toilet that doesn’t cost me $400 ea. I see a lot of people say Kohler is the way to go they get the job done and parts are easy to get. Also TOTO but they are bit more fancier, parts aren’t the easiest to get and they are high on price. Homeowners, plumbers and everyone else in experience w/ toilet knowledge help me out. What is a good toilet that won’t break the bank, I need to buy two, but worth the money.

Australian here. Went to the US a few years ago and was soooo uncomfortable with the amount of water that sits in a toilet bowl. It’s basically all the way up to the top. It’s like squatting over a full bucket of water. What happens if you have diarrhea? Does it just come out of you and splatter around and mix with the water? I can’t even imagine. I don’t understand why it’s like this, does anyone know? (FYI, Australian bowls are only roughly half-full, so no chance of your balls or, if you’re endowed, other stuff hitting water while you’re sitting)

Edit: just because I feel like over sharing, if I do a number two I like to put a few sheets of toilet paper over the water in the bowl so that when I drop my kids off, I don’t get splash-back in my squinter. I guess in America you don’t need the toilet paper because there’s not as much distance between and pool?

Toilet, tub, and shower in the primary bathroom are all backed up. Is there anything I can do to resolve it or am I doomed to need a plumber? The rest of the house is draining just fine so I know it’s localized to that side of the house. I’m about to go get some baking soda and white vinegar. Is there anything else I should try?

My toilet has been howling at me.At least fifteen minutes after I flushed it every time. I have to flush it again for it to stop. I have a well. Why would that happen?

I want to replace my basement toilet but it is closer to the wall than std toilets

I am in Markham Ontario and have checked everywhere

The problem is the distance from the downspout to the wall

According to a bunch of sites and AI, people use in average 85-141 rolls of toilet paper every single year, per person! I (M32) was shocked looking into this. I’m frugal and a buy standard mid brand toilet paper and go through a roll about every month, maybe. If you account for rolls I use outside the house we are at maybe 1.5 rolls per month max.

For females I’m sure it’s higher for obvious reasons but this number seems outrageous. What am I missing?

My wife consistently uses like 3-4 ft from what I've seen her pull off the roll. I got so fed up with the amount she uses that I got that 1 massive mega roll that's supposed to last a month. That was maybe a week and a half ago. Well it's now empty.

She's clogged our bathroom toilet 3 times bc of the amount she flushes claiming 'ive never had an issue before'.. yet... I'm consistently having to replenish our supply. AIO? Or is it excessive?

I’m having problems getting the flange flush to the tile. Is it ok if it sits a ¼” above. TIA
