Stumble It!In praise of the Porcelain Goddess: the catalogue...
Apart from crapper, there are many more words for the place of ablution and its main receptacle, like toilet, porcelain goddess, loo, wc, shouse, outhouse, thunderbox, and many more that have no place on a decent website like this (grin)! Some names and euphemisms are national, leading to amusing culture clashes when American visitors ask their European host for the "bathroom", and are subsequently directed to a chamber with a tub, a shower and a washing basin... but not a throne or bowl in sight! And how about Australian expatriates in the States, urgently inquiring after the "dyke"? Oh, those fine intricacies of the English language!Althought there's definitely something inherently funny about bodily functions, we shouldn't forget that modern toilets and related equipment are serious things: it's for a large part thanks to them that, in our Western "First World", epidemics like cholera and typhus have disappeared. The humble crapper and its connected plumbing are often objects of derision, while in fact they deserve praise! Hence the title of this website: "In praise of the Porcelain Goddess".

And now just a little bit about ourselves...
Finally: never trust a business that doesn't supply clear evidence of its whereabouts and physical existence. Although the thingy to the right is called "Seal of Integrity", it doesn't really vouch for our character which probably is just as well (grin!), but it sure supplies some solid information about who, and where, we are.

Pros and cons of buying bathroom supplies online
Whether you want to remodel your whole bathroom or just a small portion of it, you will need to buy supplies. The supplies needed will all depend on the remodeling project you need to complete. For instance, if you just want to have your toilet bowl replaced, you'll simply need to order a new toilet bowl. But you might go further, and also buy a new cistern, paper holder, toilet seat etcetera. In every case you may be wondering whether or not you should buy your bathroom remodeling supplies online.
On account of the bowl of your Porcelain Goddess being a heavy object, you may find buying it online costly, especially when it needs to travel across the country. If that is the case, you may find the cost of shipping or delivery to be quite expensive. In fact, you may also find it too much to afford. In truth, the cost of shipping is really the only downside to purchasing your bathroom supplies online, while there are literally unlimited benefits to doing so. One of those is the amount of time that it will take you to do your shopping. Online, you could easily find hundreds of different toilet bowls available for sale - which you could purchase without even having to leave your home. If you have an idea as to what you are looking for, it is possible to find, order, and pay for your complete set of bathroom supplies in as little as a few minutes.
In addition to the amount of time that you can save, by shopping online you also have a better chance of finding what you are looking for. Whether you are looking to purchase a new toilet paper holder, a new bathroom sink, a new bidet or a new toilet bowl, the internet gives you access to tens of thousands of different items. This means that whatever you are looking for, you should easily be able to find it online.
Although it's clear that there are more advantages than disadvantages to buying your bathroom supplies online, you will find that the above mentioned disadvantage is a fairly large one. If you are shopping on a budget, it is best to look for online retailers that offer shipping discounts for their bathroom remodeling materials, supplies, and fixtures. If you are able to find one of these discounts you could, without a doubt, benefit from doing your shopping online.
