I don’t know if you have noticed that there is no toilet seat in some public toilets and the shape of the O-shaped toilet seat at home is not the same.
U-shaped seat cushion (open front)
According to Xiaobian’s observations, even some high-speed trains use this design.
What is the significance of U-shaped seat cushions? Is it just to save materials?
In fact, this U-shaped cushion design is not only beautiful, but the most important thing is that it can avoid many hygiene problems. On the Internet, the source of inspiration for the design of U-shaped seat cushions is different. The most popular one is to avoid splashing urine from boys in the toilet (when sitting in the toilet), which sounds reasonable.
Some netizens in foreign discussion forums analyzed the U-shaped toilet seat compared to the O-shaped toilet seat.
It can more effectively share the weight of the user (applicable to obese people) and it is more comfortable to sit up, and the cushion is not easy to damage, which extends the replacement and maintenance cycle.
The U-shaped cushion can ensure that the important parts of different users will not be "succinctly" contacted in the same place. This design greatly improves the hygiene factor and can make users more at ease.
The International Association of Piping Systems and Machinery also included this U-shaped seat cushion as standard equipment.
Especially for women, U-shaped seat cushions can ensure that when they reach out to wipe their important parts.
It does not touch the other parts of the seat cushion, which is hygienic and convenient. Really unexpected the design of a small toilet seat is full of humanity.
