Why do toilet seats have lids?

If it was "water in the bowl and nothing more nothing less", you must have cleaned the 'inner throne' quite frequently! [couldn't resist the levity]

and that does happen, so we just flush it again.

trust me, having 3 boys, nothing is too disgusting. LOL

your humor is appreciated

Just bought a new toilet seat with a soft close lid -- it closes slowly with a push, and no slamming. Since we always close the toilet, I like the no slamming part.

Hopes -- we have a small house with storage issues. I have an over the john cabinet, and sometimes when you open it, things fall out. It's sort of like Fibber McGee's Closet. I would far rather they fall on the floor than in the toilet. And things falling is not a rare occurrence around here at all. Happens at least four times a week.

And although I use really naturally cat safe products to clean the rest of my house -- I use old fashioned clingy toilet bowl cleaner to clean my toilet, and I do NOT want my cats in it.

This. ^^^^

And....a toilet with the lid up is just too ugly.....looks so much better with the lid down.

Don't want my bathroom to resemble a public restroom. Toilets without lids = ugly.
