    Do these designers not have children? Wiping pee off the seat is like an every time thing; seems silly not to just use a bit of toilet paper.

    Even I have to clean up when I miss; which happens max, max, 95% of the time.

      And if paper that immediately dissolves when wet scratches the seat; maybe use better materials.

        You don’t clean plastic lens spectacles with paper as paper will scratch the lenses, though glass lenses can be wiped with paper. Wood is harder than plastic.

        Toilet paper is wood, while the seats are plastic. Wood is a 2.5-ish on the mohs scale, and plastics tend to be too. So they scratch at a 2.5 with deeper grooves at a level 3, even on a micro scale. The alternative is to use ceramics for the seat, but the fragility means one rough drop of the seat and it could shatter. Metals are generally no better.

      Their children are furry and meow. But in all seriousness, I would consider it an engineering oversight for not considering how their product is being used in real households.

      You miss a max of 95% of the time? 🙃 On a related note, most people are bad with percentages.

          I’d say a max of 95% of the time.

        Cat claws are infinitely sharper than toilet paper, and cats like to explore. Checkmate against Toto?

      Pee sit down, like when you shit, give it a try, not reason to not do it and saves a loooooooooot of burden, including time.

        Joke’s on you, the geometry of my toilet means that sit-and-pissers splash into the bottom of the seat so I have to clean the rim way more often than I used to!

        People equipped with a penis standing to pee should really have the toilet seat raised out of the way

        WoW! Judging the current net negative downvotes I assume that the voters were not ready for my proposal, but I swear that I enjoy several orders of magnitude less mess and higiene in my toilet seat since I did it without any drawback… good luck!

      the only thing I’ve ever had to wipe off the seat is condensation. I’ve no doubt children find a way to get pee on it but anyone with two braincells to rub together knows the seat moves out of the way

        I work in an extremely high level professional environment for a multi trillion dollar company.

        I gotta wipe piss off the seat every damn time I go into the bathrooms here.

        It doesn’t matter how smart or dumb people are, piss will end up in, on, and around the places where people piss.
