Default How do I stop new toilet seat from slipping?

This just came across my desk.

Once again you wake me up for the trivials.

Nobody knows anything
Who cares
I didn't see anything
No Cover up attempt

I recently replaced atoiletseatin my house.


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


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, thisseatcontinues to slide.


So I'm wondering if they make rubber washers or gaskets that fit between
the actualtoiletfixture 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 newtoiletseat(seems
excessive), what else could be done to prevent theseatfrom slipping?
