This flexing can lead to the hinge snapping in two unexpectedly.

I can imagine how startling it would be to innocently press a button and you're suddenly surrounded by concerned strangers. 0_O And on the pot no less! The 2-button ones in Portland's airport were confusing enough. But, yes, a heated seat would be nice during cold months, though in the Deep South it wouldn't get much use.

I was a guest at a lovely woman's house who was having us for tea. After using her toilet, I looked down and in horror realized there were about 39 buttons, and I did not know how to flush! Using my advanced logic at the time (I was 14), I thought surely it must be the largest button. Suddenly the toilet was erupting, and I was getting cold water sprayed on my backside (to my progressing horror it was apparently the bidet button I had pushed, though I didn't figure this out until after I had launched off the toilet with water spraying everywhere). Long story short, I sheepishly mopped up the floor with a towel from her cabinet, and being 14, told no one. I'm sure she figured out pretty readily what had happened, but it made me very wary of toilets in private homes for the rest of my visit!Live More Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486883402903740941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-88738355098463182722013-01-14T06:36:11.200-08:002013-01-14T06:36:11.200-08:00I have never tried a heated toilet seat, but it so...I have never tried a heated toilet seat, but it sounds wonderful for those cold, winter early mornings!
