Default Actual Sympathy

You ladies are terrible.

I have to think that so much of your skin takes a little time to adjust, that you'll notice a tightening there too after some time. You know, part of the problem is no doubt that your legs are thinner too, so you're not as "high" off the "water surface" as you used to be.

Until then, I'd say hold on for dear life or bring some ice cubes...

I must say - it sounds alarming, but I think it'll work itself out.

Honestly, for home comfort - get a higher toilet seat!

It's a problem because one doesn't generally bathe in toilet water.

I had this problem before surgery but only at my brothers house!! so I know what you mean.. I have lost alot of wieght on HMR before and it does seem like your penis gets bigger for some reason its wired..The doctor told me once that my "boys" hung low becuase they didnt have proper support when I was young i.e boxers.. But I tell you what it is good to see your "beltbuckle" again when your standing up and not in the mirror!!! Sex has been alot better though we can get creative and try differnt positions now without my belly in the way... If I was you I would use a ziplock bag when you go!!!

Default Some Suggestions

While I thought this incredibly hilarious, I do recognize that I wouldn't want it happening to me. So, I read the entire post to my husband who is a general contractor. He suggested for at home they have toilets that are a bit higher than standard and also have an elongated bowl. The Eljer Patriot is one. Another suggestion is to check out the disabled stalls out in public as the toilets in there are usually higher so as to be easier for the disabled to use. Don't know where you'd get one, maybe a medical supply store, but they also have these "lifts" that go between the bowl and the seat as retrofits for lower toilets in public disabled stalls.

Thanks for the laugh, and hope these help.

You know what? It doesn't happen on all toilets. The shut off the first floor bathrooms here at work and the upstairs ones were where I first noticed it. Maybe I'll try the handicapped stall next time. That's some great advice. As for home, well, I rent and I'm not about to change the toilet there. We're moving soon. Maybe at my next place I'll try out the toilet before I say yes or no

No one is alone. Heck, I hadn't thought of Gina's explanation either. My thighs have gotten a lot smaller from all that biking. Good things to think about here.
