Instead of the flimsy disposable toilet seat covers, have a toilet-seat-shaped block of nylon-reinforced (water-resistant) oval ring Post-Its. Stick the whole block on the toilet seat. When you need to use the toilet, just peel off the top layer.
A la turk?

(?) OK, I guessed "a la turque" would just confuse

I'm not sure about this one. I'm pretty sure, that given the time, bodily fluids (not to speak of bacteria/viruses) would not find it too difficult to seep through a few post-it layers down. So unless you're planning on using oval shaped condoms that you can sit on, I'm not sure I'd trust this one. |
|
| |
That's where the nylon comes in. Most bodily fluids aren't caustic enough to burn through a sheet of plastic. I'll edit the description to include this. 21, I've looked, couldn't find anything. |
|
| |
Stuff would also creep in between the post-its from the
edges. It's a shame, because untold millions of people die
every year from diseases caught from loo seats. |
|

//untold millions of // Ooops - sorry. I meant "hardly any". |

doesn't matter if it does or doesn't "seep" . It is a creepy (read: crappy) idea, and I would not ever ever ever use one. |
|
| |
I once went to a French loo* that had a sort of creeping mains-powered toilet seat polythene tube that wound out of the right-hand end of the hinge-end, and back into the left-hand end.
A sort of bog-seat condom.
Bizarre. |
|
| |
*Though when I lived there, cafe loos were frequently a la Turk, so no seat hygiene necessary. |

has anyone actually eaten a toilet seat as opposed to eaten off one? |

Oddly enough, yes. In the 1950's there was a popular
entertainer known as "Mack the Jaws", who made a living
eating things. Wine glasses, small/medium mammals
(dead but fully skeletally intact), domestic utensils,
shower heads and - from time to time - loo seats. |
|
| |
He did, however, die only 48 hours after eating a loo seat
(and also a ballcock). He was hit by a motorcycle whilst
crossing the road to greet a friend. A sad loss to the
worlds of gastronomy and entertainment. |
|
| |
A friend of mine got pregnant from a toilet seat... I think it's quite common, as well as all the other ailments. |
|
| |
I would vote for a hover-seat, where jets of air coming up from a series of holes ensure that your bum never actually touches the seat at all, but hovers a few millimeters above it. Did I just invent something? |
|
| |
xenzag, further research would be worthwhile, I think, into your concept. Overcoming flesh rippling and oscillation may prove challenging. |
|
| |
If you can concoct a case for "flesh rippling and oscillation" defeating cellulite, or some such application, there could be money in it. |
|

My mom used to use one of those vibrating belt
machines that wrapped around your butt and thighs.
On Saturday mornings I could hear her trying to rid
herself of her gin and tonics of the night before.
(She thought the water weight caused the bumples in
her legs and behind.) |
|
| |
Brummmmmmm, brummmmm, go away gin...brummm
brummm, go away tonic..... |
|
| |
You could probably get Frank Zappa to endorse this product. |
|
| |
//Overcoming flesh rippling and oscillation may prove challenging//
I think these would be trivial compared to solving the problem of blow-back. {{{shudders}}} |
|
| |
When I read the title, I thought, disposable toilet covers which you first pull out of a dispenser, and then stick to the toilet seat, with post-it type adhesive so it doesn't slide around. |
|
| |
Now that idea, I would bun. |
|
| |
But sitting on a block of oval post-its, with a flat top, and vertical sides, and an uncomfortable square edge between vertical and horizontal... even if fluids didn't seep in around the edges, I'd have to say, no thanks, so [-] |
|
| |
Gross! Who the hell wants to sit on a memo pad toilet seat? Haha, interesting idea though. |
|
| |
Oh, and as for the hover-potty- BAD IDEA. S*** would fly. Everywhere. |
|
| |
We could always do as the Japanese and just squat. Lower cases of hemhorroids that way. |
|
| |
How much lower? Mine are down around my knees as it is |
|
| |
sorry but this won't work - any hint of dribbles or dampness would spoil the whole pile |
