Bathroom Talk

As I come back to my parents' place for the holiday week, I instantly realized that something had changed. The toilet I grew up with was replaced by a new one. The old toilet was always there for me when I needed it; never failed on me because of its power. This new toilet seems to be more efficient in terms of water usage but the power seems to be compromised as a result. I don't think this one will be as reliable... Good thing I won't have to rely on it for 18 plus years.

But I have to give props to the new toilet for having a short recouping time. But who needs a short recovery time when it gets the job done on the first attempt?

Another positive aspect of the new toilet was size. The old toilet was always a good size growing up but became too small once I hit my growth spurt. I literally outgrew the old toilet.

Surprisingly, my father has also added a second bathroom in the basement; though it seems to be over four years late. Better late than never, I guess. He certainly did a great job with it so far!

So what other upgrades can be done to the bathroom? First of all, the easiest way to make a bathroom much nicer is to get foamy soap; never compares to the feeling of the bubbly foam soap. A sensor operated sink would be nice; have to make sure the water sprout isn't too close to the side of the sink (the worst). A automated paper towel dispenser would be nice as long it dispenses enough on one attempt (sadly this doesn't occur as often as it should). A Dyson or XLERATOR hand dryer would even be better but people would play with it like a toy (just the other day I had to wait to dry my hand because of children playing with the Dyson dryer).

The question is if you see the automatic paper towel dispenser and air dryer, like above, which would you choose? I know which I would choose.
