Disposable Toilet Seat Cover

Abstract

A disposable toilet seat cover designed to provide sanitary protection and support for smaller children when using public toilet seats of divided construction. The cover includes two sheets of thin flexible moisture resistant material laminated together to form an internal envelope inside the seat cover and that allows the cover to be easily slipped over a toilet seat thereby encapsulating the seat while providing a sanitary barrier that prevents human contact with unsanitary toilet surfaces. The cover further forms a seating area that when installed over a toilet seat maintains sufficient tension between the two curved side parts of the toilet seat to provide the support needed to prevent smaller children from falling through the larger opening in public toilet seats. A removal tab is provided in the front of the disposable toilet seat cover allowing for easy removal and discarding into the trash.
