Solutions for toilet seat won't stay up

1. Attach a flat magnet to the underside of the seat.
2. Attach a ferromagnetic metal to a short string attached to a hook attached to the side of the cistern. I used a tablecloth weight as sold by Lidl/Aldi. lift the seat and attach the metal to the magnet.
or attach a cord around the cistern or to a hook on the side of the cistern and adjust it with one of those spring tighteners you find on waterproof jackets and hold the seat up with a loop of cord thus: sorry pictures don't appear here.

Don't you think that Gareth might have solved his problem in the last 8

Strange suggestions too, unless 5) was a placeholder for the spam

Probably not. We moved here 15 years ago and still have one seat that
will not stay up. I've given up fannying about with hinges etc., and
either avoid that toilet or, if necessary, stand sideways and hold it up
(the seat!) with my knee.

That is all very well, but how many 'ladies of the house' would really
appreciate a bit of wire holding up the seat, particularly when they
don't need the seat held up anyway? OK for singletons, but for most of

One of the long term plans :-) This WC happens to be in the bathroom as
the famous cracked bath. We solved the bath problem by using a
different bathroom, which also solved the WC lid problem, but, when we
did use it, I solved the problem as above or, during the night, always
sat rather than stood which meant I didn't need to turn a light on, and
could 'let go' without worrying about seeing to aim.

I'm betting you've never even noticed, most don't.

https://www.curejoy.com/content/whic...ng-or-sitting/

o pee or not to pee standing up is the question. For starters, sitting down ensures that you don't leave behind any pee on the toilet seat. Sitting down also improves your bladder and prostate health, reduces LUTS, and fully empties your bladder. Some experts also associate sitting down to pee with better sexual performance, thanks to improved prostate health.

There is only one way to do that! It might appear odd, but glue a couple of
small
strong magnets to the cistern on an underside edge. Attach a small piece of
metal
the the toilet seat, maybe bending it around on an inside edge at the front
and glue
it. Then the seat will stay up. Or you could glue a few strong magnets to
the
back of the seat when it is flat, then put a small piece of metal (painted
to match)
on the rear of the toilet. Those really strong small magnets will easily
hold it.

I was after a couple of powerful little magnets like this for another
job the other day, but couldn't think where to look to buy some locally
(in fact the only sources I could come up with were specialist online
suppliers which would be too slow and with big p&p/minimum order
charges. I solved the problem by another method eventually.

I suspect it is more to do with conditioning. Sitting down for men
(who have been trained to stand up) sends the wrong signals to the
brain.

Who else gets an improvement or surge in flow the minute the flush
kicks in? It's all in the head.

Assuming an aerosol forms when you flush it will still be expelled from
the gap between the seat and the rim and will probably travel farther
because it will be going faster. Maybe some uni will waste money to
investigate?

you could always sit down to pee

I have a french male friend that does that, we all take the **** out of him, but it is actually more hygenic as you don't get the splash back.

You can prove this to yourselves rather thatn arguing about whther ir should be a EU directive, stabnd bare legged and **** in the toilet, unless you aim really carfully you'll feel the splash back on your legs, and you might even start to wonder where else those little splashes end up.


A dentist friend said that tooth brushes should be several feet away
from a toilet because the flushing action (if done with the lid up)
sends aerosols quite some distance.

Just put a strip of loo paper across the seat before flushing to see
the effects.

Don't you think that Gareth might have solved his problem in the last
8 1/2 years?

Probably not.Â* We moved here 15 years ago and still have one seat that
will not stay up.Â* I've given up fannying about with hinges etc., and
either avoid that toilet or, if necessary, stand sideways and hold it up
(the seat!) with my knee.

if it has a lid then remove the rubber washers that are there to protect
the seat when the lid is dropped.
