Speaking of toilet seats......

For my wife's birthday, when we lived in So. Calif., I bought her a nice foam toilet seat and installed it. She loved it. When we left So Calif., we left it in the apartment, so I have bought her two others since. Much nicer to sit on than the hard wooden ones.

We have a nice Porta-Potty on our boat. Have had to only use it once, but sure was glad it was available at that time.

You bought your wife a toilet seat for her birthday and you're still alive?
 
Well, higher seats may be very comfortable and easier to use. But, lower seats are conducive to quicker movement and aid in avoiding constipation, hemorrhoids, etc. Higher toilets are better for taller people.

[h=3]"So, Why Should You Go For a Standard Height Toilet?[/h] All that said, it is a scientifically proven fact that, a natural squat like position with the hips located below the height of the knees is the optimum position for bowel movement. Hence, if you have a constipation problem, it is recommended that you use a standard height toilet with a lower seat that allows your hips to be positioned at the height lower than your knees.

This may result in some problems standing up from lower surfaces.

In such cases, you may go to a comfort height toilet and use a step stool to fit at the base of your toilet. The step stool will allow you to sit in a squatting position. Alternatively, you could still keep a standard toilet and attach toilet rails around your toilet to help you stand up. You could also have a standing pole installed beside your toilet. Either of these options will help you push yourself up."

For the best of both worlds, you could spend $20.00 for a squatty potty footstool!

If you decide to try this at home be sure to drop your pants.

Reading through the thread I was thinking the same thing. But it is nice to have a tall one too in case of back or knee problems popping up. So we have a high one in on bathroom and lower in other plus bidet fro quick clean.

If my knee is out or his back we use the high one. But mostly I like the lower one for times like you mentioned above.:)
 
I don't know why toilet seats are not made more comfortable. You should be able to relax there and soak your feet and use your tablet or cell phone to do crossword puzzles while you attempt to relieve your sore ankles and corns.

That's where I change my winter boots.
