This. The taller toilets may feel "more comfortable," but that comfort is wasted as you have to strain harder and take longer to incompletely do your business. | |||

I can't tell if I'm tired, or just lazy |
Wouldn't bending forward while on the pot have the same effect as assuming the squat position? _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

We replaced the toilet in the main bathroom with a tall version. I’m am 6’1” and my wife considerably shorter, but we both are very satisfied with it(I have some difficulty saying I “love” or we “enjoy” a toilet... ) But we now need how to fit another unit in the small half bath I use primarily.

YES, absolutely noticeable and a lot more comfortable. Now a regular toilet is very NOTICABLE to me. I switched both of my toilets to elongated bowl (also very noticeable) and comfort/tall height and will never switch back. | |||

6'1" and have comfort height in the master bath and hate it. I usually use the normal height in the second bath. | |||

Installed the fancy tall toilet today and now the supply line is too short. Guess I’ll have to see if any stores are open tomorrow. It’s the crimped Accor push pull valve so I’ll have to completely replace it. The seat isn’t the most comfortable but I think I can live with the height. It’s the Cadet 3. | |||

6’2” give or take here... and like most have said, it’s well worth it. Big big difference. It’s especially appreciated 24-48 hours after a solid leg workout.This message has been edited. Last edited by: thumperfbc, | |||

I have to chime in for a +1 on the tall toilet. Love ours, much more comfortable. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Actually was going to make a similar statement. We should all be squatting over a hole in the ground. It's more natural. Having said that, I think I'll keep my crapper.

I sympathize, we are staying with friends in Key West that have upgraded their house to the new toilets. Wrong poop angle! From European stock the old height was just right. Later in the week we move to Key Largo where the Holliday Inn seating is also just right - I hope I can wait that long!

I don't much care about throne height, although the lower ones certainly do facilitate evacuation. More important to me is the elongated bowl. I do not care to have my junk touching the front of the bowl, and it happens with those circular ones. I'm a tall fella and it has nothing to do with my endowment...or lack thereof. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

The tall ones are much more comfortable. I have replaced all of mine. "If you think everything's going to be alright, you don't understand the problem!"- Gutpile Charlie "A man's got to know his limitations" - Harry Callahan | |||

I bought two of them about five years ago. 1. Tall and elongated is an awesome improvement. 2. I told the salesman at Lowe's that I wanted something that would flush a damn meatloaf. I believe they will. 3. The geniuses who designed the packaging put the tank lid UNDER the tank in the box. Both were broken (Imagine that?). 4. The quality of the tank parts (flush valves, flappers) is JUNK. Already replaced one of the flush valves, both of the tank flappers and the other flush valve is acting like it's on borrowed time. 5. "American Standard" is actually "Central American Standard". Made in Mexico. The replacement lids took SIX WEEKS to ship. Next time, Kohler. Period. | |||

Tall, elongated with an electronic bidet installed, and a squatty-potty foot stand. I can't barely stand to use anything else, and my health has actually improved. Electronic bidet has a heated seat, which you don't think you need until you've tried it. Warm water spraying on your bum cuts the toilet paper by 2/3'rds, which even with the softest paper has made a huge difference on the soft tissue area. For those of us related to Sasquatch from Norwegian descent...water and a blow dryer for the bum is an amazing change in lifestyle. The old adage of *hit, *have & *hower is now possible in any order. Even with an obsessive grooming (weed trimming) regime, washing your backside with water just makes sense. Far better than wet wipes, and better for the plumbing system also. I'm ruined from using another bathroom now, and thinking about setting my parents up with one at their house just for when I visit. It's life changing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
