Do these designers not have children? Wiping pee off the seat is like an every time thing; seems silly not to just use a bit of toilet paper.

Even I have to clean up when I miss; which happens max, max, 95% of the time.

And if paper that immediately dissolves when wet scratches the seat; maybe use better materials.

Toilet paper is wood, while the seats are plastic. Wood is a 2.5-ish on the mohs scale, and plastics tend to be too. So they scratch at a 2.5 ~~with deeper grooves at a level 3~~, even on a micro scale. The alternative is to use ceramics for the seat, but the fragility means one rough drop of the seat and it could shatter. Metals are generally no better.
