Default How do I stop new toilet seat from slipping?

I recently replaced a toilet seat in my house.

But the new one tends to slip a lot - VERY awkward to be sitting on a
slipping and shifting seat, obviously.


Reminds me of days at the beach when I was a kid. Have to take a dump
but having too much fun in the water. Finally it gets wicked and run to
the ****ter with wet suit on. Sit on toilet and ass slips all over the
place.


I'm pretty strong and have hand-tightened the bolts as much as I think
is reasonable, and the bottom line is that, subjected to the forces of
use, this seat continues to slide.

So I'm wondering if they make rubber washers or gaskets that fit
between the actual toilet fixture and the plastic parts that hold the
bolts - just something to take friction out of the equation.

And if not that, short of tightening the bolts more (they're as
hand-tight as I can get them) or getting a new toilet seat (seems
excessive), what else could be done to prevent the seat from slipping?
