I love Japanese convenience products born out of blended east and west needs and Pop Culture, especially ones by way of Vietnam as this toilet product is. In this case, not only are the translations awkward but the product is too. You affix these strips that look somewhere between oversized sanitary pads and shoe inserts on the rim of your toilet seat and then peel them off after you remove your “bottom”, only to use them again the next time you rest on the porcelain throne. Apparently, this saves you the trouble of washing the toilet seat or worrying that you’re going to be sitting on someone else’s nasty stuff. I, personally, would still be concerned as I don’t want to be bending over the facilities trying to flick up the end of some reusable Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste. And what does that name mean anyway?<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover_2374\"\n

Are the pads\/shoe inserts that are looking more and more like strips of sticky fly paper a toilet seat cover or are they paste? I don’t know that I want to be hovering over the bowl to come to a final decision. Besides, the full name of the product appears to be Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste Well Type with Pattern. This would take an entire day of sitting on the toilet to try and figure out and I have a feeling that more solid fact would end up in the toilet than in my head.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things about this product is the slogan that equates a toilet with life itself.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover_2377\"\n

I haven’t really found that there’s that direct of a relationship between the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a conventional toilet seat, installation and removal is very easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover_2376\"\n

Well, uh, yeah, a toilet seat is an actual part with some weight and mechanics involved ensuring functionality and stability whereas the Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste Well Type with Pattern is just two confusing strips of paper that forces one to make contact with the actual toilet seat while assuming that perhaps the person whose “bottom” occupied it before you did not have the benefit of owning their own Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste Well Type with Pattern. This is not where I would want to be placing my hands to retrieve my fly strips.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover_2373\"\n

For cleaning, just rinse with warm water. However, to most efficiently dry your seat covers one must find a “spin-drier” as opposed to using “a drying machine”.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover-instructs1\"\n

What is a drying machine? A microwave? I don’t know about you but I don’t want anything I just pulled off my toilet anywhere near where I tweak my food.<\/p>\n

It also says that if you choose natural drying you must keep the strips in the shade, paying attention “not to allow dust on the backside”.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover-instructs2\"\n

It seems to me that the whole point of the strips in the first place is “not to allow dust on the backside”.<\/p>\n

Further instructions for correct usage of Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste Well Type with Pattern prove just as confusing as the name of the product itself. \u201cDo not use clippers since use of such items results in traces on the absorption surfaces”.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover-instructs4\"\n

I would be constipated by the time I really figured out what that meant.<\/p>\n

And then there’s this: \u201cbe careful when washing or drying the sheets with the absorption surfaces facing each other that they do not permanently adhere together\u201d.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover-instructs3\"\n

Am I supposed to get inside the spin-dryer with the strips in order to prevent this?<\/p>\n

All in all though I’m happy to own the Paper Toilet Seat Cover Paste Well Type with Pattern as it goes very nicely with what’s hugging my toilet right now, the \u201cWarm Cover Of Toilet Bowl\u201d<\/a>, another toilet sensation from the Orient.<\/p>\n\"toilet-seat-paper-cover_2379\"\n
