Toilet Seats - Padded Or Not Padded?

[THUNDER HANDS]

Poll question: Toilet Seats - Padded Or Not Padded?

My grandmother used to have, in her bathroom, a big, cushy padded toilet seat (she also had five cans of air freshener, but that's a different story).

Do you like these? Because I can see both sides of this hotly contested issue.

On the pro-padded tushy side, we have those long, cold winter nights when the worst feeling in the world is your bare bottom hitting that ice cold seat. But if it's padded, problem solved, the seat stays warm.

On the anti-padded tushy side, we have those who say that a padded toilet seat just doesn't feel right. You can't get comfortable. The seats are too small and every time you lean to one side the seat inflates back up like a demented ass balloon.

What say you?

1. "Demented ass balloon"

You just made my day.

It's a great band name.

And an even better name for *.

[GOPisEvil]

2. I am LOL at "demented ass balloon" too!

:D

[underpants]

3. Definitely padded

you are right about the warmth in winter but in the summer you can really get a seal there and work on your "power game".

[GOPisEvil]

4. *snarf*

Trying to cause a tidal wave in the bowl there, UP? :D

7. We've got a ~7 gallon Carolina model from the 50's

(yeah I know you are reflecting on the great toilets you've had)

This thing has more power than a firehose. It is still "undefeated" but I know I can take it-hey you have to have goals in life.

5. Padded is disgusting

I've walked into some bathrooms that had padded seats that had the perfect outline of an ass worn into them. Ass grooves. I don't sit in nobody's ass grooves. I don't want to SEE the evidence from where someone has been sitting every day for years.
:puke:

6. This is rapidly turning into the funniest thread in a long time!

ASS GROOVES!!!! LOL!!!!

[RandomUser]

37. That's hilarious!

hahahahahahahahha

[underpants]

9. I used to feel the same way about using the seniors' mouthpieces

in football.

:grr: Stupid cheap a** high school :mad:

10. They have the cheapo ones

from the Dollar Store.
The $279.95 Heated unborn llama skin over Swedish Thermo-Foam with built-in stereo and CD player (to mask those embarrassing noises) from Bed, Bath and Beyond is the only way to go.
Pas de derriere grooves.
;-)

[booksenkatz]

13. Sorry, trof

I just can't bring myself to splash on something that costs that much. Plus, I can't bear the idea of that llama dying for the privilege of being splashed on.
:(

Wait, you said UNBORN llama. Depending on which month it was taken from the womb, we might have a pretty hot subthread here pretty soon, eh?;)

[Cush]

11. Ass grooves

Get your free ass groves! Come one, come all! Free ass grooves for a limited time only!

(no idea where that came from)

[trof]

17. Go lie down for a few minutes.

;-)

8. Padded toilet seats have all kinds of nooks and cranies...(or is that

an english muffin)...oh well...to harbor bacteria....do not use padded toilet seats!!!

[felonious thunk]

12. The padded toilet seat

I'm frightened of the padded toilet seat. They are at once oddly disturbing and oddly comfortable, and that is not something I want in my toilet seat.

It almost (but not quite) feels like you are sitting on the couch or something. And your brain finds inner conflict, attempting to reason that it is ok to go ahead with the planned procedure, while also thinking that said procedure is never permitted while sitting on the couch.

16. Yours wins for the coffee-on-the-monitor

post-of-the-day for me.

COTMPOTD award to felonious thunk!

[trof]

19. Oh yeah? Read # 18.

I win.

[L.A.dweller]

28. Why now that is great philosophy

on padded toilet seats. <- Said in a calm, airy, manner.

[Piperay]

14. ROTFLMAO...

:bounce: THANKS, I needed a good laugh today and I got it. :-)

[geniph]

15. They tend to tear in time

and I don't even want to think about what might live in those tears. On the plus side, they don't go WHAM! in the middle of the night when someone puts the seat up or down a bit too quickly.

I have found they don't stay up well, and I prefer my toilet seats urine-free.

[trof]

18. Hey, my genuine ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

bright red toilet seat with the elephant lasted 10 years.
Then a seam finally blew.
Every time you sat on it it farted, like a whoopee cushion.
I have it hanging in the den.
Now I got a plain ol beige one, but it's comfy.
I'll never go back to unpadded again.
I'd rather have ass grooves in the toilet seat than toilet seat grooves on my ass.
;-)

[booksenkatz]

21. That reminds me

In one of David Sedaris' books, he talks about a nudist camp where you can tell who's just been to the john based on the circular red target on the ass. So you may have a point!

[indigo32]

35. They do tear

thats why I voted no! :) It scratches you

[Renew Deal]

20. How about: Walls Padded or Unpadded.

Deranged minds want to know.

[geniph]

22. The unpadded ones hurt my headie

when I try to relieve my stress against them...

[drbastard]

23. Padded EWWW

It makes me feel like I'm shitting my pants or something.

I'm not weird.

24. Padded toilet seats are gross.

Anybody who spends so much time on the toilet that they need the seat padded for their comfort needs to increase their fiber intake.

[tom_paine]

25. Damned socialists and their rock-hard toilet seats!

:evilgrin:

What would Rush say?

"bugs...bugs...crawling on the wall...on my legs...IN MY EARS!"

[Exultant Democracy]

33. oh my now

that was just naughty:evilgrin: "bugs...bugs...crawling on the wall...on my legs...IN MY EARS!" poor guy maybe the trauma of getting clean will make him see the light. (I'm not going to hold my breath)

[JVS]

26. Who has time to sit?

;-)

[THUNDER HANDS]

27. kick

for the nighttime poopers.

:)

[Coventina]

29. Boy, did I need to read this thread!!!

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!
Thanks guys.

Skinner, when I send in my next donation, I'll be thinking of this thread!

[ProudGerman]

30. Unpadded pooper here

Padded seats hold heat......someone else's butt heat. Bare butt heat. I don't like sitting in a seat someone just got out of because of existant butt heat. I sure as hell don't want someone else's transferred butt heat on my bare rump.

The extra comfort, even during strenous ummmmm calisthenics, is completely negated by the transferrence of butt heat.

[MrsMatt]

31. cushioned seats are icky

If you use it right after someone else, it feels a little inappropriate (like you've just pressed your bare bottom to the previous occupant's).

And speaking of ass grooves, MrMatt is downloading "Tom Jones: Unloaded" to his IPod.

[Myra]

32. This is a toughie

I really had to do some soul searching to arrive
at my decision. This is like Sophie's Choice...

But, as comfy as the padded seats are, from
a sanitation standpoint they're undesirable.
Gotta go with the less porous materials for
the sake of hygiene.

[TrogL]

34. Sanitation

you can't get the padded seats clean and they tend to rip

[athos1126]

36. Oh god, the worst is a warm padded seat.

It's like sitting directly on someone's upside down naked ass. I'm not into that kinky stuff.
