I may need to shop at Lane Bryant. The "W" on my size tags may stand for "wide" or "womanly" or "wickedly hot" (depending on my state of mind). There may be supportive undergarments in my dresser drawers and a box of Milk Duds in the cupboard above my sink.
But.
The day I have to buy this is the day I officially change the name of this blog to "MORBIDLY OBESE FREAKSHOW BRIGADE."
Then again, if they had a padded and heated version...
My feet wouldn't even reach the floor on that bad boy

"Our toilet seats have 150% more contact surface area"
I am now tempted to refer to my size as having 150% more contact area than the standard person.

I would put it in my house just to freak people out.

Exactly how long are these people sitting on the pot if numbness is an issue?

Holy crap! Pass the celery, please.

Oi.

All I can say is: Oh man.
Also - the W does not stand for WIDE! I hate when people say it stands for WIDE. Do you know anyone who wears a size 10N for NARROW?
Those are shoe sizes not people sizes!
Erm.. minor pet peeve, if you can't tell.

Oh, I know it doesn't stand for wide, the same way XXXL has nothing to do with porn.

GOD I HATE THE W IS WIDE THING! My best friend is the worst for that. I think Ive finally gotten her out of that since she's getting pretty chubby herself, so maybe just maybe, I won't endure anymore "Mel, do you need a 16 or a 16 wide?" (And for the record, Im not wide, Im thick)

You know, the people that they showed in the picture advertising this, um, plumbing wonder, don't really look like the kind of folk who might need a steel reinforced WC... I'm thinking that this is for someone rather a bit larger than them. Like that guy who they had to take a wall out of his house to take him out when he died.

Did anyone follow the link to the Photo Gallery? Shows this thing installed in a bathroom. I like the stones scattered on the floor. Nice decorative touch. Hopefully the guy can see his feet, or he's going to trip on those stones and get stuck between the wall and that toilet...
...at least, I think those are stones. I hope.

I need one of those for my son. He thinks the toilet seat hole we currently have is too big.

This is only slightly more offensive than the Always pads "for plus-sized women."
Posted by: Susan | 02 March 2005 at 03:43 PM
I actually really like the Always pads for plus size women, they fit SO much better in my plus size bloomers!

I prefer voluptuos.
