toilet bowls

Porcelain throne receptacles

Toilet bowls is the plural of toilet bowl—the curved porcelain basin that holds water in a toilet.

The term emphasizes the receptacle itself rather than the full fixture: scrubbing toilet bowls, toilet bowl cleaner.

It appears in discussions of plumbing, cleaning, and occasionally crude humor.
