Toilet Checker: What kind of toilet do I have?Updated a month ago
Knowing thy toilet style will help you master your TUSHY install. Which of these gorgeous thrones is destined for your TUSHY?
The Standard
The Standard toilet is the most common toilet you’ll find in the majority of residential homes. It typically has two pieces, the bowl and the tank, with a flexible steel hose connection between the water supply and tank. Most importantly, all of the water supply connections are visible. If you’ve got the Standard, you'll be good to go in no time!
The Skirted
Skirted toilets are a more modern, clean design that may hide the external tank connection. If you are able to access the tank connection like the toilet on the left, you should be golden.
If you aren’t able to access the tank connection like the toilet shown on the right, you'll need a little extra guidance. See how it's done:

Can I install TUSHY Ace on a skirted toilet?
Fear not, we can doo this!
The Flushometer
The Flushometer toilet is normally found in commercial buildings, but some residential apartment buildings have these toilets too (looking at you, NYC friends). They have a lever with a powerful flush and no easy access to a water supply connection. At first glance, these toilets don’t look TUSHY compatible, BUTT... we have a hack for that. ;)
You can connect your TUSHY to your sink’s water supply. Learn more about that here: I have a flushometer toilet, what do I do?
The French Curve
Do you oui oui in this type of potty? French Curve toilets are one-piece toilets that are curved in the back. Though they are very high-end, they also tend to be hard to fit when it comes to any bidet seats or attachments, as the base plate does not have a flat surface to securely rest on.
