This patented technology relates to toilet seat covers, which lightly cling to the seat to prevent slippage/wastage.

US Patent 6,484,328.

This invention provides a device and method for improved toilet hygiene. One aspect of the invention provides an improved toilet seat cover having an affinity for a toilet seat. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for rendering a toilet seat cover in a state wherein the cover possesses an affinity for a toilet seat. Such affinity can be established in a variety of ways, including by way of disparate surface charges (e.g., by triboelectric charging).

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet, suitable for practicing the present invention, and illustrating placement of a toilet seat cover upon the toilet seat, according to the present invention:
