Battle of the Bowls: You Decide
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.

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.
