One of the hazards of a very long thread such as Ladies Hovering one is that it is difficult to find the single word you wanted but I finally did after discovering that the topic was not Other, but Health & Early Retirement.
I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned there (or maybe I missed it) but there is a serious issue for men only.............whether you are a sitzpinkler or manufacturing the more conventional dumplings. I am not sure how common this situation is , but I know it is common at my medical center and have on rare occasion encountered it elsewhere.....but never at home.
Have you ever been seated ready to do your business when suddenly you are shocked into the realization that the tip of your submarine has begun its underwater descent...........both the cooler temperature and the liquid make themselves known . If you are sitting upright you may be spared this misfortune but if you are leaning forward, geometry dictates that the angle of the dangle means that the submarine will start its contact with the cold water and whatever traces of predecessor substances may have been in that bowl.
At its heart the root cause must be a design flaw since a robust design should prevent that no matter the size and shape of the sitzpinkler or the water level in the bowl. I am sure the medical center would not rip out their appliances because of this complaint but I sometimes wonder if they could adjust the water level to compensate for the design flaws or whether this adjustment would affect other parameters like the quality of the flush. I am normally the first to complain about stuff but for some reason I haven't done anything about this situation...........maybe because to report it online is not anonymous and I can see the giggling going on when they receive the report.
Googling shows that I am not the only one to encounter this.......the wonders of our modern age.
