Ok, so we’re not the only toilet seat users, but what about skirts in the winter and the wind that blows up them, huh? shiver
See, you think regular toilet seats in the winter are painfully cold. I still remember having to stop at a rest area in California in January/February and discovering that their toilets are one piece of stainless steel. I understand that’s for ease-to-clean issues and such, and while I didn’t actually freeze to the seat, I think my scream disturbed people a couple of counties away.
AAAAAAAAAAA!
“Ahem…”
“BAND NAME!!!” 
squat.

Stop it. 
My apartment is heated. The toilet seat feels normal to me.
Unless you’re living in an abandoned building, why is your toilet so cold?
No heater in the bathroom. And I don’t live in an abandoned building, thank you. Is that the only other option?
Unheated women’s restroom at the end of the wing, or nice warm unisex in the main office a quarter mile away. It’s a tough decision this time of year.
Our toilet seats at home don’t cause me any problems.
I just don’t go anywhere that the toilets are cold. I hear this from time-to-time and wonder what’s going on that it’s so cold in people’s bathrooms. Don’t you freeze when you take a shower?
I’m all about some cozy. If my apartment isn’t 73, then it ain’t right. I can’t deal with cold.
Here at work, the toilets are warm, and anyone I visit seems to have a warm toilet, so I’m just curious.
Incubus, have you ever tried to have sex in a bathroom? Unless you’re in the shower, it’s not very fun…
Indygrrl, I just don’t have a heating vent in my bathroom or kitchen. The rest of the apartment remains nice and toasty but the bathroom is always several degrees cooler than the rest of the house.
As for the shower, yes, it’s cold to undress but I’m not actually plastering any part of my skin to anything except my feet to the floor. And then I just jump into the shower.
Most of the time, I don’t mind it, but I tend to get home and hit the bathroom before anything else, and I don’t leave the heat on all day when no one’s home. So the house is cold when I get home.
It doesn’t have to be. A set back thermostat will only set you back about $25 at the hardware store and is easy to install. It can turn on the heat for you half an hour before you get home so that you come home to a nice warm house without wasting the energy that would be required to heat the house the whole day.
But it’s OK. I don’t mind it. I don’t want to buy anything extra, except maybe a fluffy toilet seat cover, and considering we both despise those, it’s not happening.
The only part of my cold apartment I can’t deal with is the toilet seat. Remember, I *chose * to live in the Northeast.
How about one of those padded plastic toilet seats? Those are probably a bit too comfortable - I might never see my husband again if I got one.
Actually I was talking about the post-coital afterglow effect…where your skin feels nice and tingly and all your muscles are relaxed- a cold toilet seat doesnt feel quite so uncomfortable.
Of course, I could always pee all over the seat to warm it up
Peeing on the seat is not the answer. Peeing on the seat is never the answer.
Memo to self: NEVER visit Incubus at home OR have **Incubus ** over to my home… :eek:
My toilet seat is occasionally cold. We keep the house at 69, but the bathroom just never really warms up (nice in summer). We keep a space heater in the bathroom, for really cold winter days, but even that doesn’t warm the seat.
Seconded. To begrudge us the smuggled raisin, when it brings so much joy to so many, is churlish to say the least.
