Your toilet seat is too small
23 March 2011
Michael Schmitt is big. Big enough to make the simplest tasks an adventure; like going to the bathroom. "I'm 6-foot-7 and I weight over 20 stones right now," Schmitt said.
"I have broken toilet seats in the past." And Schmitt is not alone. For years, big and overweight people have had to lower their backsides gingerly, careful to keep the toilet seat in one piece.Now a UK company is offering the solution: Plus-sized toilet seats direct from the USA, the land of the overweight
As we say, “your bum's not too big, your seat's too small,"
The Big John toilet seats are larger, stronger and more durable than your standard seat. "We realized that the seat hasn't changed in over a hundred years, but people have and we thought, frankly, it was time,"
There is interest from across Europe. Maybe that shouldn't be surprising, though. According to statistics from the OECD, there are plenty of people who need a bigger seat: half the adults in Europe are overweight or obese. The UK has the worst weight problems in Europe. And many of them can use some much-needed bathroom relief.
"This thing is like a seat in Business Class," Schmitt said. "It changed my life. It's great."
