Size of Toilet Bowl Adequate?

There is no really subtle way to put this so please stop reading if you are of a sensitive disposition. We have recently had a new toilet installed - Savoy (close coupled) range from Bathstore. The water trap bowl in the loo is noticeably smaller than in the one we replaced. My husband is a large man and so is everything connected with him. I if am wondering if the bowl is likely to get jammed on occasion if you get my drift! The flush doesn't seem any more powerful than before to compensate. Are all water traps this size now?

    Feed him lots of curries - should keep things 'less solid', if you see what I mean, so less likely to cause a blockage.

    i hate new toilet pans, the bend is too small to fit a wad of toiler paper down, let alone anything solid. All i can say is, keep a stick handy!!

    we have had to ban our daughter from using the new loo, she now has to use the one in the outhouse, as being really old it is huge, and never blocks
