Default How do I stop new toilet seat from slipping?

There is some bad advice below. Adhesive washers don't last. the main reason a
seat slips is that the hole in the ceramic is much bigger than the bolt
holding the seat down, so eventually loosening occurs. get the spoecial
tapered or conical washers mentioned to pack the bolt so it is tight in the
hole-or do what i did and get a piece of the right size rubber fuel line from
your auto parts shop and use this as the washer. also you can get stabilizers
that screw into the underside of the toilet seat and stop sideways
movement-google toilet stabilizers or look on ebay
