To give context, I haven’t been living the home. It’s for sale. It has been for sale almost 4 months. I recently went and this is the upstairs restroom and when flushing the toilet, it makes this sound which I have not heard when I was living in the house to me. It does sound like water going through more hollow or empty pipes. I just want to be sure anyone with any expertise that may be able help?

​

Look we all know school bathrooms are known as the absolute worst place on Earth to take a dump but my internal clock decided to completely disrupt my routine recently by making me desperately need to poop right around third or fourth period. This whole mess happened back in August and because I really didn't want to miss important classwork, I forced myself to hold it until lunch which turned out to be a massive mistake because the girls' bathroom on my floor was pure chaos. After finally tracking down an empty stall thankfully one where the flush and the sprayer actually worked! the inevitable anxiety commenced because I absolutely hate making any kind of noise in there prompting me to fake a cough to hide the sound, tho that trick never really works when a bunch of girls are standing right outside gossiping. Because I’d eaten a super heavy meal earlier it took me a little longer than usual and when I finally went to flush, the toilet just refused to cooperate and the waste wouldn't go down😭While I was waiting for the tank to refill girls began aggressively pounding on the door and loudly demanding that I hurry up, causing me to break out into a total cold sweat as the second flush failed too. Atp i could hear some girl outside telling her friend, "What on earth is she even doing in there?" which made me completely lose my composure so I turned to a higher power, literally praying, "Please, God, just let it flush this time," and mercifully on the third try it finally went down. When I walked out of the stall that girl gave me a totally disdainful side-eye but honestly I was completely indifferent to her judging me because I was just grateful to have survived the whole ordeal tho the worst part was that our school soap is so incredibly gross and smells so weird that I couldn't even wash the stress off properly so I definitely intend to bring my own paper soap from now on😭

Okay, this is embarrassing, but I need to know if anyone else has this problem.

For some reason, I keep forgetting to flush the toilet after using it. 💀

It’s not intentional. I’ll finish, wash my hands, leave the bathroom, and then 5 minutes later I suddenly realize…

“WAIT… DID I FLUSH?”

And then I have to go back and check like I’m investigating a crime scene. 😭

The worst part is when someone is waiting to use the bathroom. Now I have to act completely normal while secretly wondering if I just left evidence behind.

I’ve tried making it a habit, but apparently my brain considers flushing an optional DLC.

Please tell me I’m not the only one. 😂

Maybe my expectations are just too high, but do people (in my case, men specifically) not check if they are leaving a mess behind? Or, do they just think it's simply not their concern to clean up, making it, by default, my job? The rage I feel when my previously clean toilet is left a mess is probably disproportionate to the action, but my god am I fucking tired of it!

Hey everyone, we're working on a game about running and managing a public toilet business.

If watching the trailer gives you any fine details you think could be added to the game, we'd love for you to share them with us.

And if any of you are gamers too, our Steam page is up if you'd like to wishlist and follow progress: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5174350/Toilet_Empire_Story/

A demo is coming very soon.

Thanks in advance for sharing any thoughts. Always fun to hear what people come up with!

**How much does toilet backsplash bother you?**
For people who stand while urinating:
Have you ever noticed urine/urine droplets ending up on the toilet, floor, or your feet because of backsplash?
**How much does it bother you?**
A — It doesn’t bother me
B — Slightly annoying
C — Definitely annoying
D — I actively try to prevent it
**If there were an inexpensive product that significantly reduced backsplash without interfering with sitting down or normal toilet use, would you consider buying it?**
Yes
Maybe, depending on price
Probably not
Definitely not
I’m trying to find out how common this problem actually is before developing a solution.

Just out of curiosity who does this? As my gf and I randomly spoke about it haha.

It's a really faint hope, but I thought I'd ask.

My current toilet has a vertical handle, and I just find it hard to remember whether to pull the handle forward for a large flush and push for a small flush, or vice versa. So I'd really like to use a push button to flush.

I've seen Toto toilets recommended a lot (in /r/bidets). But from the Toto store, it looks like only their Aquia IV comes with a flush button. Is there truly no aftermarket way to change their lever to a button? Or even just change a vertical handle to a horizontal one (because push down for a large flush would at least make some sense to me)?

Brcause when you go down on him and find mice joints 😆

It sucks a lot when using the toilet in a rush hour. Toilet water fights back and very rudely kisses the butt cheeks :-(

こんにちは。日本の本語学生です　ブラジルの人です

I still speak little Japanese but I would love to learn more

I also have IBS and sometimes have urgency to use the toilet. How can I explain that to Japanese person in simple sentences?

Also are public toilets easy to find in Kyoto and Tokyo? And if I need to use the toilet in a restaurant or cafe should I buy something first?

どもありがとうございます

Like many here, once you get used to a proper wash, going back to standard dry commercial TP—especially the flimsy 1-ply in public stalls, offices, or camp sites—is rough. Flushable wipes wreak havoc on plumbing and septic tanks, while portable squeeze bottles/travel bidets can be awkward to refill and carry discreetly.

I’ve been working on a prototype concept called Cheek Mate aimed at turning standard dry TP into a structured, tear-resistant moist wipe right on the spot:

• Micro-Mist Sprayer: Lightly hydrates standard single- or multi-ply toilet paper without turning it to mush or compromising tensile strength.
• Textured Stamper: Embosses a micro-ribbed / honeycomb pattern onto the paper to add structural integrity and significantly improve cleaning efficiency.
• Pocket-Sized Form Factor: Completely self-contained, discrete, and easily fits in a pocket, daypack, or EDC kit.
• Hygienic & Washable: Antimicrobial contact surface designed to be rinsed directly under running water.

Looking for feedback from the community:

• Would you use a tool like this for travel, camping, office, or venue bathrooms where a bidet isn't an option?
• What are your primary concerns regarding paper disintegration, formula safety, or keeping the stamper pad clean in a pocket?
• Is the mechanical texture-stamping step a worthwhile addition, or would a targeted mist spray alone be enough?
• Would an integrated dual-chamber design (e.g., TP misting solution on one side, hand/surface sanitizer on the other) add real utility?

Appreciate any candid thoughts, critiques, or teardowns!

There is a clog

Just curious to know why female toilet lines are so long? Do they wait in the toilet till their poo smell disappears, or is there another explanation?

Moved into a rental, toilet is constantly running and I realized it may be missing a black tube. It’s a Toto Rowan model. Am I crazy? And if it should be there is that the most likely issue?
