Do you use a toilet brush?

Does no one clean up after themselves then? Your toilet must be like the one in Trainspotting

I think maybe the ratio of piss flushes to shit flushes in our toilet is sufficiently high to create rapid enough erosion to resolve the problem.
 
I just wipe it off with toilet paper and flush it again.

One shit...
 
I'm veggie. I sometimes have explosive sessions. I need a brush.

You clear the stuff, you flush with the brush in the water and that's all that's needful. Bath doesn't come into it.

When I tried that, there was loads of bits of bog paper stuck to the bristles that weren't coming off with more flushing.
 
Swoosh it around. Hit it against the bowl while it's flushing.

If there's tiny bits of paper still there, just put it back in the holder. It'll dry; and it's not like it gets used for anything else except the toilet bowl.
 
They could have made them with more of a cone shape, so the narrower bottom would offset the greater ammount of water in the wider top. Or they could make them wider but shallower..

Anyway the fact that contact always seems to happen at the back and never the front or sides suggests that the problem could be reduced by moving the throat back a bit.
A quick look at fluid dynamics will show the effort put into toilet design and how complicated it is.
 
Our toilet brushes are like this; are yours?

So after you're done, it goes back into that holder.

That's my main problem with the toilet brush. When you go to use it next, often, the brush won't come out of the holder easily. I end up having to bang it against a wall or the floor to make them separate.

Flush the loo first so there's no bog paper floating around. It's not rocket science!
This reminds me of someone here who slagged off shower gel cos they said it just gets rinsed off immediately and goes down the drain. It hadn't occurred to them to step out of the stream of the shower to apply and lather it. :facepalm:
 
whoops syphonic

Trouble is they are actually made in China in vast quantities by people who don't give a shit!
In vast quantities by people who follow the designs worked out on ridiculously expensive soft ware suites by people with brains the size of Texas.Copying is easy design not so much.
 
Loo brushes are really for aesthetic, rather than hygienic purposes. Nothing worse than going to someone's house and finding pebble-dashing/skidmarks!! Or going into the work bogs and finding the person before you had the toilet habits of an wild beast.

I can't see how a brush which is cleaned under running water in the pan* and changed quite regularly is unhygienic, unless you touch it with your hands and don't wash them properly afterwards.

As long as you follow basic hygiene like washing your hands afterwards, and all the stuff around food preparation, pets etc. you shouldn't get ill.

* toilet pan not the one you boil your pasta in

What a cunt.

There were no expensive software suites when toilets were designed tho. If people have started using them to tweak the design and have not yet solved this fundamental problem it's a pretty poor show. I really don't see how moving the 'throat' back by two inches or so out of the collision zone would somehow make the flush not work due to fluid dynamics when you can flush a loo by tipping a bucket of water down it.

Or by using a shitting stool!

But there are gentler substances out there that do less damage and don't put people or pets at risk.
Plus it stinks and makes me heave.

And marks your clothes. People massively over-use bleach. My mum's cleaner washed the kitchen floor with the stuff!

<waits for someone to say, probably rightly, that other household cleaners are as bad, if not worse...>
