I have found the answer to something I know most Moms of boys are asking. Dear Merciful God, How do I clean THIS toilet seat???? I have found the BEST TOILET SEAT FOR BOYS!!!! Yes people, I really went there on my blog.
This seat has so many attributes that I looked high and low for (and cried many times for).
It is:
- Easy to clean
- Easy to install
- Does not leave stains
- has a whisper soft close
- It pops off so you can clean those hard to reach areas!!!
The Toilet seat that has me jumping up and down…..drum roll please….

Let's talk about how easy this toilet seat is to Clean
Let's talk about how easy this toilet seat is to install
The beautiful thing about the toilet seat is that Bemis has their own video that shows you how to install it. Overall, this was an EASY job. I think I only needed a screwdriver (a hazmat suit) and a pair of gloves. The grossness of whatever had been lurking under the seat was revolting, but hey, you can puke right in the toilet. Killing two birds my friends! The instructions included were clear and to the point. I think it took me around a half hour to get the job done. Here is the video produced by the Bemis company (my new hero!).
A Few Other Reasons I LOVE this toilet seat for boys...
Whisper soft is no lie! You can not slam this toilet seat. Gone are the heart attack days of my boys slamming/dropping the other one. I want grand babies people! This has an added safety bonus with no slamming. When my guys were little the thought of a toilet seat slamming on their fingers or other unmentionable things made me shudder!
They even have one for potty training kiddos! Check this one out!

I'm happy to have people over and proudly let them use my bathrooms. Gone are the days of shame and me running to cover the door screaming "Nnnnoooooo!" in slow motion.
I've included links to the products I reviewed here. Everyone's toilet seat is different. You may have a round one or an oval or a lime green one. Be sure and grab the right shape. Bemis offers instructions on measuring and figuring out what you need on their website.The one I purchased was

***Some fine print details here ladies and gents. I was not paid or given anything in exchange for my opinion by the Bemis company or Family Handyman Magazine. This is a product I bought on my own and fell in love with. I wanted to share my success with all my readers because it is a product I have truly enjoyed and feel has changed our lives for the better. I did however include links to the products on Amazon.com so you could visualize them and also purchase if you so wish. Because I'm an amazon affiliate if you were to purchase said item from the link, I would get a small percentage of the sale. FTC regulations say I have to disclose that, so disclosing I am. If you were to purchase an item, THANK YOU. There is no pressure to do so and I am glad to just spread the word about a great product!***** This week I'm linking up to
So go forth my friends and scrub some toilets!

LOVE it! Where were these when my boy was young???
Sallie says
First blog ever to review a toilet seat! I don't have little boys at home any more, but I do have a husband. I think I may need to get one of these.
Joe says
Don't forget my biggest concern as the little fellas were learning to use the toilet. When they were just barely old enough to stand and pee I was afraid the lid would fall down and smash the family jewels but the slow closing lid prevents this! Seriously, I would accompany the boys every time they had to go, what a hassle then what a relief!
Kerry Rossow says
Bwahahahaha! FINALLY! Someone heard my cries for help!
Mrs Hoff says
No one likes cooties. Ask my boys! LOL
Mrs Hoff says
I wish I had it years ago. Whatever toilet seat the builder put in was awful. This thing is a dream.
Mrs Hoff says
I didn't want to mention the 5th boys, but ahem...... Yes, works for husbands too 😉 Hopefully they aim just a bit better. LOL
Mrs Hoff says
We did debate on the whisper soft close or not. I have no idea what keeps it from slamming but its awesome. I thought after time it would eventually begin to close faster or begin to slam, but it hasn't. Yes, the family jewels are protected from the toilet seat. Flying baseballs and light saber fights not so much.
Mrs Hoff says
We were yelling in unison!!! I feel your pain Kerry. Worth.every.penny.

Ha! I am returning the follow. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Julie! I figure Moms need all the help they can get, even in the toilet seat dept.
Laura Dench says
Do you have a link to buy one of these toilet seats please?
MrsMajHoff says
Hi Laura! Yes, if you click on the name of the toilet seat it should lead you straight to Amazon. Hope that helps!

Five years later, I came across this blog while doing a Google search for the easiest to clean toilet seat. Yours seems to still be the only toilet seat review! I had never dreamed of spending so much on a *toilet seat* (even though I got it for about $30 less for choosing a somehow less desirable shade of white?) and I seriously hope it lives up to promise. My toddler son routinely makes the toilet stink by managing to pee onto the back of the toilet, where it seeps under the plastic bolts and down the holes. I really hope that this happens less with this seat or I just give up. It just arrived and was installed today; wish me luck!
MrsMajHoff says
Haha Melanie! I think people just don't want to talk about toilet seats. I'm still using that sucker. I love that I can pop it off to deep clean. It's a nasty job, but with kiddos, you just gotta. Being able to turn those cover things just made it so much easier for me. Best of luck to you. It does get easier when they are older, but I don't think they ever.truly.figure.out.good.aim.
Jennifer R. says
but does it feel sturdy? most plastic seats are flimsy and feel like they're gonna break when you sit on them.
MrsMajHoff says
Yep! And we are going on 6 years? Never had an issue!
