Battle of the Bowls: You Decide

bowlbattle1.jpg
Over on the Windsor Terrace Renovation Blog, Mr. and Mrs. Limestone are debating the relative merits of the standard round toilet versus the more faddish long bowl. Mrs. L favors is a traditionalist while Mr. L is leaning towards the comforts of the more elongated model. Taking a break from contemplating the graver questions of our time, we thought we'd see where the Brownstoner community stands on the issue.

elongated is nice, but higher is definitely not better. I am 5'6" and need a step stool to sit on the ADA-apporved bowls. No thanks. bTW, definitely get the soft close lids - no more banging at 4 a.m.

Okay, so North Sloper is 5'6" and needs a step stool for the ADA-approved toilets or, as we like to say here in Brooklyn, terlets. But I'm about a foot taller and some toilets make me feel like I'm on one of those little chairs I have to sit in during my parent-teacher conferences. So M/M Limestone, how tall are you?

Long 'n oval. Have to fit the goods.

If you are planning to stay in the house until your golden years I can tell you the difference of a few inches when you have broken a hip is a big one i say go for long and oval to increase the handicap accessibility....

Im 5'8" , Mr. Limestone is less than an inch taller than me and he prefers the "comfort height". So Im not convinced its about height.

Posted by: Mrs. Limestone at August 20, 2007 12:18 PM

The extra height would be a poor design because lower is better for the squat and removal of waste in the human body, but the elongated is more comfortable for men.

I literally don't give crap. Any suggestions?
