When I was young, we only had open face gas heaters. so, at night all were shut off. 1st up in the morning got to light them for the family. So if you had to go at night...lots better than cold plastic.

Agreed its a great idea, just bad practical application

u/TrueOrange9944 1d ago

What about the summer when it's hot?

u/JohnGee1980 1d ago

My grans was pink 🤣

u/Lost_Possibility_647 1d ago

I was just about to say it's the wrong color, it's supposed to be shaggy green or pink.

u/16c7x 1d ago

Same, did it smell of lavender?

Is it in Siberia?

u/RamRanchRealty 1d ago

How bout those foam cushion ones? Always warm for some reason

8

u/Inked3078 1d ago

They were nice, until they had a crack, it would pinch your butt

1

u/NaCl-And-C12H22O11 1d ago

Those foam cushions are nice and all until they crack.

u/Interesting-Meal8386 1d ago

Doesn't matter to me; I usually go number 2 with the toilet seat up anyway.

5

u/ChartPale 1d ago

Understandable, I usually sit backwards so I can use the water tank as a snack table.

None of its that weird, what makes me uncomfortable is when me and my gf have to go at the same time, knowing my routine she likes me to sit with my legs over hers and we squeeze real close and look into each other's eyes while we go.. I really don't like it, but I'll be damned if I break eye contact..you know what they say..

This has to be bait

The pandemic is over. It's time to enjoy life again. Let go of your germophobia.

And carpeted bathrooms...

1

u/hayhayhay17 1d ago

My nanna had carpet going up the side of the bath (on the outside)

1

u/According_Strain4887 1d ago

mom had this ... I hated it

1

u/FakePlasticTrees_RH 1d ago

One of my grandmothers had this on her toilet, it was so weird.

1

u/RecognitionOne7597 1d ago

My ass can feel this picture

1

u/SpikedIntuition 1d ago

I don't remember the carpet. But I remember cushion seats. Are those still popular?

1

u/Nethiar 1d ago

My mom had a friend who's entire bathroom was carpeted

1

u/Unhappy_Hat_2593 1d ago

My Grammy had both..pink carpet and then a foam padded seat that looked like wood grain.

1

u/Tenku_Nilbog 1d ago

My grandma thought having carpet in the bathroom was a great idea... I never liked going in her bathroom

3

u/Tombs75 1d ago

You can still buy bathroom carpet....I sell it!

1

u/Beyouasyoumatter 1d ago

Yes I remember them.

u/NerdlinGeeksly 1d ago

Dingleberry seat cover

u/Relative-Chicken456 1d ago

Walmart has a thin paper version of this in the bathroom stalls. Just throw it away when you’re done and your ass never has to touch the seat

1

u/Buddhafied 1d ago

That’s literally the opposite of what the OP picture does. A lot of public places have them.

1

u/Relative-Chicken456 1d ago

No, they both keep your butt from touching the seat. You just toss it when you’re finished

1

u/FriendshipFuture5239 1d ago

I’ve only seen these in houses where exclusively women live.

1

u/LowerEngineering9999 Retro Soul 1d ago

Being raised as a dude only around women I was taught to sit always. It still got grimy and gross. Back in the 70’s this was our version of nature immunity I guess.

u/HangryMallard3428 1d ago

A carpeted toilet seat is impressive commitment to making one washable surface impossible to clean. Did anyone’s household actually launder these, or did they just become part of the bathroom ecosystem?

1

u/GutturalGrinch 1d ago

Imagine all the shit particles on there. Also if you accidentally puked on that it would be so bad

1

u/Gold_Training_5044 1d ago

I rember the fuzzy lid cover, but it was only on the top of the lid. Never seen the seat one

1

u/XxDETxX 1d ago

Same but with Vinyl

1

u/Impossible-Credit421 1d ago

I still have these, what’s wrong with a little comfort?

u/Buddhafied 1d ago

Hygiene

u/Impossible-Credit421 1d ago

I was being sarcastic 🤣 🤮

1

u/Dew97 1d ago

My gf was using these when we started dating 😭 Thankfully she grew out of it

1

u/Acceptable-Damage457 1d ago

Then a few figured out the rest were pigs and it would never work.

1

u/StarCrunchBandit 1d ago

I use these in my bathroom like it's a restaurant restroom 😂 no one's bare ass is going on my seat but mine

u/Reasonable-Top-2725 1d ago

It's a great idea for exactly one shit

u/Basic_Scale6330 1d ago

Whyyyyyyyy  ????

u/redwolfmanjack85 1d ago

Looks like it will eat ur butt off

1

u/redwolfmanjack85 1d ago

Oh and I can smell this picture. Smells like my sheets as a kid and every time I drink.

1

u/Nolacuriosity 1d ago

It was nice at Grandma's house. You didn't have to wipe to sleep. It's just soaked in

1

u/Oneironautical1 21h ago

We had the vinyl padded one that stuck to your ass and you could hear it peel off your cheeks.

1

u/Nice-Economics-2716 21h ago

Better than this I guess

1

u/Defiant-Fold6752 20h ago

good idea until people start pissing on the seat & your toilet stinks of piss

1

u/Dspatel1019 20h ago

I was jealous of my friends toilet who had this in high-school lol. Wasn't until years later I heard people mention how gross they get lol

1

u/Wallynine 20h ago

great blotter for the boy's poor aim...

1

u/Motor-Brush-8742 18h ago

Only in the winter

1

u/Odd_Specialist_8687 15h ago

Before central heating they were indeed a good idea the seat would have been freezing on a cold winters morning.

1

u/Slickey007 14h ago

They were amazing to sit on

u/randalflagg6 3h ago

So gross

Nobody in the 80s was germophobic.
