Elongated vs round toilet?
We replaced our 20yo round toilet with an elongated one.
I'm not sure I'm happy about it. It seems less comfortable (which is against what every google article seems to tell you). Granted, we had no choice, we have a non standard rough-in and it was the only option with smooth sides (must for me, I HATE cleaning the sides with all the dog hair that accumulates there).
My male friend says that he much prefers elongated toilets (I guess I can see why).
Thoughts?

Personally I find the elongated toilets more comfortable and convenient.0

Your butt became accustomed to the round toilet. Give it time and your rear-end will come aROUND.1

Well done with the dad joke, your profile picture actually matches it perfectly for some reason.2

I don't really care either way, however I will say I will never, ever again buy a porcelain (I think that's the material) seat cover! Young boys and those just don't mix (they stain underneath with boys who can't aim). /rant0

The taller height and elongated bowls are 1. *kitten* awesome 2. Much appreciated. As a man, they're awesome and I am ashamed of the human race that it took so long for them to be developed and become common place. :grumpycat:0

Simply put, you don't have to cram your manhood down with an elongated bowl and it's more comfortable overall. To *kitten* with manhandling (no pun intended) morning wood down into the bowl. You have a couple of options with that one. 1. Lean against the wall with your head in a delicate balancing act and try to point it in the right direction. 2. Shower. Turn it on and let loose. <-- Not really a hit with the wife, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

This has been enlightening.1

It's a figure it out on your own kind of thing. No one is coming to your rescue when you find yourself in such a situation. Actually, no man ever, has called for help upon finding himself in said situation. You just figure it out. It's part of being a man, like killing bugs and looking into scary noises at night. It's a thing we do. We were made for this.3

Perfect! The second I get a chance to use that I will. "No YOU kill the spider! If you can piss with a woody you can kill a spider"
Solid. Please report back the second this situation is resolved. I want to hear the response.

If you grow up without a dad, that is also something you figure out on your own. It's like touching a hot stove, the learning curve is steep, but remembered.0

If you hold your hand out with fingers spread with thumb pointing up, the positioning of the fingers are the degrees of men's erections. As a man you don't want to be the pinky, for a variety of reasons

So sweet, so sheltered. :flowerforyou: @MeeseeksAndDestroy
Because morning wood is a pain and doesn't usually subside until we whiz. This can't be done standing, as we're pointed at true north. Even worse is the nighttime version of this, where we attempt to do our business while 90% asleep at 3am.
If a guy is endowed enough, a conventional bowl isn't really an option. Even an elongated bowl may not be enough and is splashback city. Nobody likes splashback.
In short, conventional bowl = evil.
Interesting! I like the way you explain things. How does sitting help with the true north situation...I feel like it'd still be up?
It is, but you forcibly bend it down...gently as you can. And lean way forward. It's not pleasant. Guys that get less north in erection angle have it better. There's all kinds of angles, of course. My own just happens to point straight up. It's a pita for this particular issue.JustSomeJD wrote: »MeeseeksAndDestroy wrote: »I'm not understanding why the elongated ones are so popular with the guys.

This is fascinating. I want to know all the angles now...I should take a poll. How come men haven't just invented some sort of funnel on the side of the toilet you can pee straight into or something.
Does every guy sort of just have to figure it out? Or one day did your Dad just say "try leaning forward with your head against the wall"
I think I've seen this in a kybo before. As a mom of boys, I'm all for this modified toilet.
Elongated bowls aren't great for short people, my feet swing/dangle. I changed an elongated toilet to a round after moving for that reason.0 -

We've got one of each so I guess best of both worlds? ha0
