Christmas is fast approaching and there’s so much we can do to our homes in terms of getting ready for the festivities. For instance, a Christmas Tree or the many decorations that you are traditional for this end year celebration. But how about you get yourself the best Santa toilet seat covers? Yes, for your bathroom. I stand to be corrected but everyone knows the importance of matching your bathroom décor in line with the current celebration.

Forget the any other Christmas toilet seat cover, the santa clause toilet seat cover is what I’ll recommend. Apart from just making relevance for this time of the year, the Santa toilet seat covers give your bathroom a beautiful décor. The mood for the occasion should be reflected in every corner of your home, not least of which is your commode section. I have come to realize that this is the best way to get Santa on the toilet. This review intends to have a deeper insight into the Santa toilet seats and get you the best for this coming Christmas.

Santa toilet seat covers

Forget about your everyday toilet top cover for once just for this occasion (not to suggest that Santa toilet covers don’t last) and get a Santa Claus bathroom set. In general, there are many Christmas decorations for bathroom. Some people love simplicity and they could do with simply putting a Santa Claus picture hanging in the bathroom. Or you could engage your kids (kids are usually tremendously happy and creative during this period) to make useful decorations. Some people love a whole new look with Christmas themed bathroom curtains and much more.

However, the best way to get Santa into your bathroom is through the use of Christmas toilet seat covers. All these seats have a Santa on them; some as the main theme others just a small image to emphasize the point. Whichever means you decide to use to achieve a typical Christmas toilet you’ve got to have Santa involved in them.

Santa Toilet seat covers come in an array of different designs colors and shapes. It should be underlined that the choice of the theme color squarely depends on you. However, some colors like red are fantastic for any Santa Claus bathroom set. There are other colors like green, brown and white (though white seems to appear in all of them).

Generally you’ll go for seats that not only give you value for money and make your bathroom beautiful, also look out for durability and comfort especially for the accompanying rugs. A Santa toilet seat cover will also come with a tissue box cover that looks like Santa’s hat. [Read more…] about Best Santa Toilet Seat Covers 2018 – What’s New

Can You Get an STD From a Toilet Seat?

by | Last Updated:

The debate about whether one can catch an STD from a public toilet seat has been raging for a long time now. Health forums are full of threads with different opinions. Health experts have written about it on their blogs and newsletters, but still the debate persists. Isn’t it time we laid it to rest once and for all? Can you get an STD from public toilet seats? Are public toilet seats safe enough or would you rather relief yourself hovering peculiarly over the toilet seat?

This article aims to clear the truths, myths and relationship between public toilets and sexually transmitted diseases.

Some people, especially ladies, do not sit on a public toilet seat for fear that there are scary germs lurking on the toilet seat ready to get them infected with untreatable STDS. They will avoid public toilets at all costs. If they are ultimately forced to use one, they use peculiar postures in the bathroom to make sure that no part of their body comes into contact with the toilet seat. Is your fear of catching a disease from a public toilet seat far-fetched or is it real?

It is possible but…

First things first. Thinking that you can catch an STD from a toilet seat is not far-fetched. There might be all manner of germs and bacteria lurking on those public toilet seats in your workplace or at the gas station toilet. The common bugs you will find on a toilet seat range from common viruses like Hepatitis A and the common cold virus to other unfamiliar suspects like E. coli, streptococcus, Shigella bacteria. There could also be a multitude of other sexually transmitted microorganisms responsible for STIs like chlamydia and herpes. A public restroom, in general, offers a rich breeding ground for germs, viruses, and bacteria.

However, before you swear by the moon and the stars that this is the last time you are setting foot into a public toilet, keep in mind that the toilet seat is the least likely way of catching an STI. Many bacteria and viruses that cause STDS cannot survive for more than a few minutes outside the human body. For an infection to occur, the microorganism has to be transferred from the toilet seat into your urethra through the genital tract or a through a cut on your buttocks or thighs. While there is a slight possibility of this happening, it is highly unlikely.

But can you get herpes from a toilet seat?

This is one of the commonest myths about public toilet seats and STDs. Many people tend to believe that they can catch herpes from the toilet seat and other surfaces; this is a myth.

There are two types of herpes: HSV1 and HSV2.

HSV1 (oral herpes) comes from physical contact with an infected person. Kissing someone who has cold sores will most probably give you the virus. In fact, if you’ve ever had cold sores, you will most likely test positive for HSV1. HSV1 usually lasts for a week. HSV2, on the other hand, mostly comes from having sexual intercourse with an infected person. In both cases, the virus, even when treated, remains in the person’s body until the next outbreak.

Both types of herpes are highly contagious, which is why the myth that one can get herpes from as toilet seat persists. The herpes virus is very unstable. It will begin to disintegrate and die the moment it leaves the human body. The slightest change in temperature renders the herpes simplex virus (HSV) useless. The only plausible way you can get infected with herpes is through skin-to-skin contact (kissing, oral sex or sexual intercourse), not surface-to-skin contact.

Even the STD viruses, such as HIV and hepatitis virus, which can remain stable for extended periods of time after leaving the human body are not easily transmittable via surface-to-skin contact. Both HIV and hepatitis are transmitted through the bloodstream. They would need a point of entry into your bloodstream before they can infect you. So, unless you have wounds on your buttocks and thighs, you’d be pretty safe from these too.

Be cautious when you are getting into a sexual relationship. Get tested and get to know your partner’s sexual history before you decide to get sexually involved with him or her. If your partner is infected with herpes, do not have sex with them without protection. Stock some condoms and dental dams for those steamy nights.

How to Measure a Toilet seat? How Do I Measure My Bowl?

by | Last Updated:

Today I will talk about something that is rarely done; how to measure a toilet seat. Let’s face it, how many people even take time to measure their toilet bowls, let alone the seats. We almost assume that this is a plumber’s job. But perhaps you could reduce the cost of calling your plumber just to measure a toilet seat. Instead you could spare that cost for more “filth calls”, like when your drainage is blocked and your commode section is inaccessible. It is easy to measure your toilet or toilet seat as you are about to find out.

Why measure your toilet seat?

I once visited a local plumber’s DIY (Do it yourself) shop in search of a toilet seat (the one I had was poorly made and had become effete). Upon arrival I saw an elderly lady holding a toilet seat that didn’t really seem like one I have seen before, but it didn’t look as clean as something I have ever seen before. I didn’t bother to ask, and just like the other customers, went ahead to line up for what I needed. Upon closer scrutiny I figured that the lady had carried her old toilet seat to the shop with the hope of getting a seat of the similar size. I thought to myself how embarrassing it would be to yank off my old sit to the plumber’s shop just to get the right size. Measuring your seat size will help you determine what seat will fit on your toilet. This is the main reason for measuring your toilet seat and will also answer the question of what toilet seat do I need.

Another reason you may want to measure your toilet seat is obviously because not every toilet is meant to be occupied by a standard toilet seat. Toilet seat sizes vary extensively depending on whatever shape your toilet is. Because toilets are either round or oblong (elongated), it only sounds sensible if you had an idea of how long or wide your toilet is. How to measure a toilet seat becomes easy when you know what type of toilet your seat will occupy.

If you are familiar with toilet seat searching, whether you have done it online or by just asking, you must be aware of the different sizes and types sold today. You must also be aware if you went ahead to purchase one, that toilet seats once sold are not returnable. You may therefore want to avoid unnecessary altercations with your dealer or manufacturer. I personally live in a small town and I do not want to be known as the dandy who always returns toilet seats.

Why else would you want to know the measurement of your toilet seat, would you do it just to be up to date with your bathroom details? I would do it if it meant accuracy and order in my bathroom. Say you wanted to replace the entire bathroom décor but you do not wish to interfere with the builder’s wish. Measuring your seat will ensure the replacement is not something far away from what initially occupied your toilet.

We could debate the whole day about reasons for measuring your toilet seats, but I think the best and most important reason is to replace your current seat. So let’s stop bickering and go ahead with the measuring… [Read more…] about How to Measure a Toilet seat? How Do I Measure My Bowl?

Most popular colored toilet seats 2018

by | Last Updated:

Who knew that toilet seats could also be colored? They are just toilet seats, they aren’t meant to be noticed anyway. But are you aware that colored toilet seats are more popular than your “normal” toilet seats. However, if you are more surprised about colored toilet seats, then you will be even more perplexed to hear that toilet seats can also be designed to take different styles. Color choice however is up to you and what you may want your bathroom to look like.

Although toilet seats may come in different colors, it should be noted that white remains most people’s favorite. It is not a crime to have a white toilet seat in your bathroom. The colors are simply meant to bring a different feel to what you are already used to. You may just find the colored toilet seats very appealing for your bathroom décor. You could also use this effect to mark territories. Like when you have boys’ vs. girls’ toilets, or when you want to please your toddler with their favorite color.

About colored toilet seats

One thing you should take note of before we go any further, is that different manufacturers rarely use the same description when color-coding their respective toilet seats. Apart from just the color mentions of say, green, or pink or yellow, you are also likely to encounter names like Azure green, or Colonial Blue. I will be reviewing some popular brands and you will get a chance to know more.

Most popular colored toilet seats take the shape of the common toilets in our home. Depending on whether you have a round or an elongated toilet, there are colored seats to fit your desire. Can we also classify wood as a colored seat? (Maybe that is for you to decide). From my personal stand, wood colored toilet seats give that rustic or natural effect to your bathroom.

Because there are different manufacturers in the market offering colored toilet seats it’s important to have a favorite. I have been using the Bemis toilet seats and was surprised at just how famous they are. Bemis toilet seats have received praise from a wide array of consumers. There are other manufacturers that produce different and fancy toilet seat colors. Below I reviewed some popular colored toilet seats in no particular order but still very helpful.
