I received this whimsical bathroom decoration as an extra birthday gift from one of my kids. I suspect she bought the "Found on the Beach" pattern because of my love for the ocean and fondness for our former Capitola beach condo. Since my bath mats and towels are a pretty shade of green, the cabinetry matches the shells, and the wall is adorned with two exotic fish prints from a Capitola artist, this lid cover is very complementary to my theme.

It's an excellent vinyl weight that's easy to place and center properly. No glue, no sticking, so it's easy on, easy off! Another good feature is that they come in two different lengths, elongated being the one that fits my toilet lid.

If you want a Toilet Tatt for your pampered pottie, they have a wide selection...from a large pink rose to yellow rubber duckies and an outhouse. I'm certainly glad my daughter didn't give me the "outhouse" design. I'm really not THAT funky! But back to the duckies, they have two patterns; I'm thinking of buying the ducks on a bright blue background for our Devon. But knowing him, he might try to peel it off, so that might not work. Hmmmm...

It truly makes me LOL at the name the designer chose for this lid adornment: Toilet Tattoo. (It only figures that the lowly toilet would eventually be brought into the new millennium with it's very own tatt! Bling for the john!)

Since laughter is good for the soul and beauty pleases the eye, I highly recommend this product.

I'm glad it's not a permanent decal as it is smaller than my seat cover. It's attractive and matches my seashell and turquoise decor.

I purchased a couple of these "toilet tattoos" to add a light decorative touch to my bathroom in lieu of the standard tank/seat/rug setup that is so prevalent. The application is very straight forward, the shapes are relatively generic, I have both round and elongated seats, and they can be re-applied until you get them situated to your taste.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and thickness of the vinyl, it was thin enough to be flexible and leave a very fine seam, yet thick enough to handle easily and resist creases.

Pros:
1) No glue or other sticky medium, just static vinyl
2) Easy application (very easy)
3) Easily removed, and can be re-applied repeatedly
4) Attractive designs (ranging from gaudy to conservative)
5) Quality vinyl

Cons:
1) Shapes are close, but did not present the same border thickness across the entire seat cover. You can position the `tattoo' to reduce the visual effect, which I found acceptable, but some may find it a visual defect. I was able to place them in such a way, through brief trial and error, that my family really liked the end result.
2) The elongated design is wide at the back.

Summary - don't let the shape issue deter you, I have a rather meticulous sense and find even the most minute variances distracting. These are well made, the images showed none of the typical `stretch whiting' that you see with some vinyl image products, and the static application is a breeze. The end result was quite nice, and I would recommend them for those who find the tank/seat/rug sets unappealing.

I bought it to include it with a gift for my friend. I liked it and I hope she does too.

Thanks
