Design Objectives-
Habit: Many users have a habit of using too much toilet paper or paper towels during their restroom visits. These materials could perhaps be rationed out in more appropriate proportions and/or the need for them could be lessened (i.e. users don't need to turn on faucets with a paper towel when it's automatic).
Ritual: No matter how conclusive the study in debunking the myth about dirty toilet seats, people will see them as disgusting and potentially harmful. Users will tend to cover the seat with some type of barrier (toilet paper or seat liner) and there should be an easier and more comfortable method of going about this.
Need: Public restrooms are often uncomfortable for users due to the lack of privacy. Embarrassing factors such as sounds and smells related to restroom activities need to toned down where possible.
