This toilet seat is perfect. I bought one with a lid and I consider this essenctial if you like to feel comfortable with visitors to your home using your 'loo'. It not only lets you remove your existing seat but it makes it so much easier to clean - just pull off clean and then push back on (perfect). It is comfortable to use for myself, and for my husband who is disabled and DID find toileting difficult, but with this seat there is no embarrassment.
