Why one visits bathroom without posh rug (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toupee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rug' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'why one visits bathroom without posh' is the wordplay.
'why one visits bathroom' becomes 'topee' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'without' is an insertion indicator ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-u).
'topee' enclosing 'u' is 'TOUPEE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toupee that I've seen before include "An American wig or hair-piece" , "Artificial hair" , "A wig for American male" , "rug" , "An American man's wig" .)
