U-shaped toilet seat.
But why is this difference? There are 2 reasons!
First , this stems from a US law in 1955 . Specifically, there are requirements in the Act: "All toilet seats, except those installed in the apartment, require a front opening, or an automatic opening and closing section".
The reason for this law is mainly because of sanitation. With U shape, you can sit comfortably without fear of sensitive areas to touch the toilet pedestal, thereby ensuring safety and hygiene issues for individuals, while preventing . mistaking urine on the pedestal .
The U-shaped platform is cheaper, because it uses less materials.
In addition, the U shape also helps women (and those who go "heavy") easier to clean. According to Lynne Simnick, vice president of the International Association of Mechanical Contractors (IAPMO), this toilet " allows women to clean up after going to the toilet without getting into the pedestal".
