I just got a new toilet installed, that has a lower water level and has a bigger bowl, and flushes quicker, it's almost like the public toilets you see in public except for the tank and the handle.

The problem is no matter how I sit everytime I sit to take a shit, it always leaves a smear on the back of the toilet bowl, it gets qannoying scrubbing it off everytime I crap. I never had that problem with my previous toilet.

What can I do to resolve this problem? Is there a way to control the water levels inside the bowel of the toilet, not the tank mind you but the bowl.

>> No.1318131

The water level is set by the height of the U-bend, and is likely already at the correct height for that particular toilet. Raising the bend and hence the water level may induce improper flushing, and so is ill-advised unless you feel like modifying the cistern to hold enough extra water to make up for it.

A better solution is to change your sitting posture. If you sit against the lid, then perhaps changing the position of the seat-lid assembly or otherwise adding an extra layer of something to the bottom of the lid may change the position in which you sit atop the seat.

Godspeed.

The proper way to sit on the toilet is depicted in pic related. That way you have a nice little desk to write on, read books on, or eat your dinner on.

Place tp in the bowl covering the dead zone where your shit stains the bowl BEFORE you go, then when you flush, it will go down and not be soiled...

I remember my dad telling me about a guy at his workplace way back in the day who squatted on a ceramic toilet and it broke, making a massive cut all the way up his thigh.
He died, of course, and the company switched to metal toilets.

Did you try and clean it up or just got the fuck out? ( No judgements I would have bailed )

That's actually a really good idea. I have this issue with one tolite I use where the water is low.

Someone shared a link once which showed what happened to a woman, probably from a South American country, who was standing on her toilet while cleaning or replace a bulb. It broke, also cut her leg open, and she died. There where photos. It was an absolute gory bloodbath.

Kind of is. When multi-culti fags see third-wolders or primitives squatting to shit, it gives them warm fuzzy feelings about those humble, noble people and then they go on to insist that all westerners who sit on toilets are shitting wrong. This makes the third-world lover with feel even warmer and fuzzier for righteously criticizing his own culture.

the only people I know who did this was a few South American women

but even some Bulgarians squat. their toilets are a hole in the floor. but I imagine they sit if they are somewhere with our kind of tirlets

but that makes sense. i dont wall-sit on a tree to shit in the field. but why would you squat ON a toilet?

>>1318839
even if you think shitting seated is badwrongshit then why not squat with your feet on the floor, or lean very far forward while seated on the shitter

white americans are truly insane

If you shit that way normally it's probably hard to squeeze a clean one out sitting. I mean don't stand on the tolite because that's asking for trouble but get your knees up and lean forward and you will be amazed at the results.

How can a toilet hold your weight fine if you sit, but break if you stand on it?

I mean, if it holds a fat guy sitting, how can it not hold some spic womanlet?

A wildly exaggerated benefit, not nearly as important as the satisfaction gained by cultural appropriation of squat shitters.
Seriously tho you can take good shits on a regular bowl toilet by leaning forward.
My shits come out like a gas-propelled oiled banana especially if I have fiber in my diet.

The way they are joined/unjoined to the floor, ive destroyed a toilet once by standing on it. It smashed into hundreds of pieces and I just ran away. Glad i didn't slice myself like those other unlucky peeps

I'm having a hard time understanding why a toilet would just fucking shatter under the weight of one person sitting/standing on it. Were these people morbidly obese?

I can confirm that even just a slight change in posture will make shits come easier. For example I lean forward and tuck my feet behind the tank, like a jockey riding a horse. Once you've tried it you'll never go back.

Why you people worrying about poo skid marks in the shitter?
It's where the poo goes and the next flush, maybe the third flush will rinse the poo smear away and down the pipes

OP I had this problem for years, and the only thing I've found to fix it is to wax the inside of the toilet.

Close the little valves behind it and flush it, draining it completely. Let it dry for several hours, and then wax it just like you would your car, making sure to coat the entire inside (I use Carnuba wax).

After 1 hour, remove the excess wax with a clean towel, and you will have a streak free bowl. You have to repeat this 3-4 times per year, but your toilet will never stain.
