I can't find any solution to this problem - the toilet cistern seems to be a bit too far forward for the seat to stay up.I've tried altering the position of the fixings (and even lost a double hole washer down the toilet in the process - and can't find anywhere to buy a replacement!)Has anyone else had the same problem and managed to solve it without raising the cistern?

Would raising the cistern ( even if possible) solve the problem? ..Ican't see that it would .

Toilet seat not staying up?

No, you?re quite right. Men didn?t evolve to pee sitting, consequently it doesn?t work properly. No self respecting man sits to pee.

The Germans have a word for hen-pecked men who are made to pee sitting, sitzpinkler.

Man didn't evolve to pee standing up either. Maybe you should get on all fours and dangle over the loo?

Just put a strip of loo paper across the seat before flushing to see the effects.

if it has a lid then remove the rubber washers that are there to protect the seat when the lid is dropped.
