Abstract:
A multi-ply flushable toilet seat cover e.g. for preventing residual water and urine droplets on a toilet seat from penetrating through the cover to the skin of the user. In one form the cover (10) includes first and second tissue webs (14,16) having a basis weight in the range of from about 4 pounds to about 50 pounds per ream, and a water soluble plastic film (18) sandwiched therebetween. The water soluble plastic film (18) may be attached to the tissue webs (14,16) by means of embossing, hot embossing, adhesives, heat sealing, or the like. The layer of tissue placed against he toilet seat absorbs the water or urine droplets thereon. Through the wicking properties of the tissue, the liquid is spread over a wider area thereof, thereby preventing liquid in sufficient quantity to dissolve through a relatively smaller area of the water soluble plastic film to come into direct contact with such a relatively smaller area of the water soluble plastic film.
