Bowl Shape Which bowl shape you decide is right for you ultimately comes down to personal preference, but it helps to understand the benefits of the different styles.

	Elongated - an elongated bowl is more comfortable for most adults than the more traditional round design. This bowl works well in larger and high-traffic bathrooms, and some parents prefer it for potty training boys. Round - a round bowl takes up less space than an elongated bowl. This bowl works well in smaller, second bathrooms and powder rooms, and is recommended for potty training girls.
