toilet seat

Porcelain throne topper

A toilet seat is the hinged ring or oval-shaped lid that attaches to the rim of a toilet bowl, providing a surface for sitting during use.

Most toilet seats come in two parts: the seat itself and a cover that can be lowered over it.

The position of the toilet seat—up or down—has become a minor but persistent source of domestic friction between men and women sharing a bathroom.
