Abstract

The invention relates to a toilet seat affording hygienic environment by adding a water splash guard on the toilet seat. The water spray guard protects water escaping through the gap between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl by covering and rerouting the water flow into the toilet bowl when the water splash occurs. It is comprised of a strip element that is located on the underbody of the toilet seat and surrounds the partial or complete inner opening to cover the gap. The strip element is attached or molded to the conventional toilet seat, and its number can be increased for more protection and ornamentation. The invention also relates to a toilet seat having an inward slope on the top surface to facilitate the water flowing into the toilet bowl.
