What is an elongated toilet?

An elongated toilet is a type of toilet bowl that is longer and more oval in shape compared to a standard round toilet bowl. This extra length provides more comfort for the user, especially for taller individuals or those with mobility issues.

Elongated toilets are typically around 18.5 inches long, compared to a standard round toilet bowl which is about 16.5 inches long. The elongated shape also provides a larger surface area, making it easier to clean and reducing splashback.

Many modern toilets come in elongated designs, and they can be found in a variety of styles, colors, and materials to suit any bathroom decor. Some elongated toilets also feature additional features such as soft-close seats, dual flush options for water conservation, and ADA-compliant designs for accessibility.
