That sounds helpful. But how would I come up with an explanation when someone in the house finds them? I just don't like the idea of telling them about my diaper/ABDL secret.Belarin said:There are plenty of these seats available on Amazon and therefore should ship in a plain Amazon box. ordering one and getting it delivered would have the same advice as buying diapers online and getting them delivered, which has been discussed a lot already, things like waiting for an "empty house" day and paying for next day delivery, shipping to a collection point etc.
As for advice on the rest, they are generally quite thin and low profile so fairly easy to hide in a drawer or the bottom of a cupboard/closet, behind a desk etc. the hardest part really would be getting it in and out of the toilet without someone coming past as you move between, the easiest option there may be to hide it under something (like a towel).
It may seem a little odd but for instance I keep a towel in my room for days when it's pouring with rain or so hot I'm sweating since I sit on my bed when watching tv/playing games so my excuse for it is I don't want my bed getting wet from rain/sweat.
Depending on how busy the house is, how far you have to travel room to room and how loud people are moving around, it may not be too hard to just wait until no one is on the landing and just carry it. For back up try to find a spot in the bathroom that it can be stashed quickly if someone else is waiting outside to use the toilet (for example I have a laundry basket in the bathroom so I would be able to just throw it in there under some clothes), you can then collect and move it once they are done.
As for cleaning it's not that bad, sure there are germs on and around a toilet but unless you've peed or got poo on it then it probably doesn't need wiping every time.
When using for children you might clean it every time but that's more because children's immune systems are weaker and more susceptible, they also are more likely to get pee/poo on it and to be putting their hands all over it to get on and off and then even if they wash them (which they often don't do properly) putting their hands in their mouths.
When it does come to cleaning a quick spray with general purpose antibac and wipe with a tissue is fine. If that may not be possible secretly in a your bathroom you can buy antibac wet wipes and keep them in your room to just wipe it down.
The other piece of advice I'd have for this is to be careful what you buy, these are designed to make the toilet seat smaller for toddlers bottoms so while the hole might be big enough for you to go in, the seat itself might be too small for you to fit or the hole will be in a position where peeing is fine but pooping with hit the back (or vice versa).
They often have high back, sides for a toddler to hold onto and help stop them falling off and a splash guard in front, fitting an adult or older teen bottom is not possible the answer to this would be looking for one with a very low profile like this
Rather than ones like this to be sure you can sit on it comfortably.
You can also look for "toilet seat raisers" which are designed for older special needs children and the elderly who may need extra height to be able to get back up. these are much taller and would be harder to hide but are designed for bigger bottoms so they might fit you better.
If the slimmer seats and raisers are not to your liking due to lack of pictures or theme designs you can always buy a pack of stickers for your favourite thing (i.e. paw patrol or Marvel) to put on them.
Right, I was considering getting a lockable drawer for my closet, so that might help with hiding the potty seat there. And even with the excuse that using the potty seat feels pretty good and comfortable for me, it wouldn't help? I also wouldn't want other family members to find out and come up with fake rumors about me.Belarin said:

I've seen people consider 3d printing them before, my concern with that is that on the cheaper and even moderate price printers the filament they use is not all that strong and the last thing you would want is to sit on a potty have a wee and then the whole thing break and collapse with you on it.LilByte said:
The excuse of it being more comfortable and easier might help, I don't know your family or how they would react/take any particular excuse, they might accept it or not, only you really can know that.DiaperWuff93 said:
Is there a tutorial to make a potty chair with 3D Printing software? And after use, would it damage the chair?LilByte said:
That basically highlights all the pitfalls. There are a few ways around all of them. I'm still trying to get a good cad model of the potty I want. i've been slowly manually doing it when I have time, but it takes forever since I'm not used to cad, and I'm using an open source one instead of fusion360.Belarin said:3D printers work off of a 3D file from something like a CAD program or 3D modelling software (Maya, Blender etc.) though the letter tend to need converting into something the printer can understand similar to a CAD file. They look a little bit like this.
This model in the software can be viewed at any angle and if you were to look from the bottom you would see the hollow area and wall thickness etc. When you convert it to a printer compatible file the software will read all the vertices and decide where it will need to create a support structure (usually in areas with overhangs or hollows). It knows where area's are solid and where the spaces are.
The way it would work is you get a file that is a 3D model of a child's potty and then use the software's scaling tool to make it larger, depending on the printer and software used you may even just be able to tell the printer to print at a bigger scale. It's actually very easy to do and there are plenty of free models you can find if your modelling ability is not so good.
The downside is though is that the filament types most consumer 3d printers use are not exactly tough, for certain designs and uses they are great but there are many factors affecting it. This site has a good guide on types, how tough they are and what needs to be considered.
While this is a different test of strength (tensile strength opposed to compression) it may give an idea, he manages 30lbs on the hard resin barely a third of the average male adults weight and much less on the commonly used PLA.
I have seen plenty of 3d prints that collapse under their own weight. They can also be very brittle and prone to shattering/cracking on even light impacts.
Then you have the size to consider, many home 3d printers will not have a bed or arm length big enough to build an adult sized potty on and the machines that do are much more expensive.
Then there is the final problem that depending on the filament and quality of the printer it may not be waterproof, I have seen people try to print a cup on a cheaper printer that leaks when filled with water, this would be no good for a potty.
I'm not aware of any tutorials directed towards potties, but there are many different makers tutorials for creating stuff. As for use, the final product would need post processing to render it a "food safe" finish, basically meaning it doesn't grow bacteria as easily and isn't leaching toxic chemicals. Also you need to make it water tight; the above step should do both.DiaperWuff93 said:
I don't own a 3d Printer (been tempted many times though) so I don't know the exact conversion process to get a model like that ready to print but it looks like a game/architectural visualisation resource or similar without knowing the scale of the model it would be hard to tell how much it needs enlarging, there are dozens of models like this out there though if you look around.milimetr75 said:
Reminds me of how women think men just piss on everything on purpose or are too lazy to aim. You can aim straight ahead and unexpectedly get split streams pointed everywhere but dead ahead, or it just shoots off to the side or spits and sputters in random directions like a garden hose before stabilizing. We aren't doing it on purpose!Oceansky2021 said:
That looks decent. Did you make it or get it from somewhere?milimetr75 said:
