Toilet Seats

Toilet Seats Article

A toilet seat is the seat and lid of a toilet. It consists of the seat itself, which is contoured for the user to sit on the toilet, and the lid, which covers the toilet when not in use. The seat can be lifted in order to protect it from spatter during a male's urination, or when cleaning the toilet. Urinals help to prevent this inconvenience.

Toilet seats come in a wide variety of shapes, from the normal porcelain ovate seat to the opened-front seat often seen in public restrooms. They can be made of porcelain, plastic, steel, ivory or wood. Some metal toilets, such as those in many jails and prisons, have built-in toilet seats that do not lift so that the inmate does not fashion it into a weapon or escape tool.

In most common toilets, the seat can be raised. This can be done to facilitate cleaning, but most often when a male urinates while standing. Because females do not typically raise the seat for anything other than cleaning, this generates debate among cohabitating members of the opposite sex. Frequently, the male(s) is expected by the female member(s) to ensure the seat is always lowered after use, and criticize him if he forgets. There are generally two justifications:

  • The seat is used in the lowered position of the time anyway
  • The female will fall into the bowl while trying to sit down.
