    Abstract: A slip-in type sanitary cover for toilet seats is a bag and has a bag opening, two side edges, a closed side, a bag space and an excreting hole. The side edges are respectively located at two opposite sides of the slip-in type sanitary cover. The closed side is opposite to the bag opening. The bag space is formed in the slip-in type sanitary cover. The excreting hole is formed through a central section of the slip-in type sanitary cover. Because the sanitary cover is bag-shaped, the sanitary cover can easily enclose a toilet seat. As long as the user's butt sits on the sanitary cover, the sanitary cover is tightened. Accordingly, the sanitary cover is easily and securely positioned on the toilet seat.
