The Toilet

I always use the paper seat covers. Knowing how many butts have graced that throne I do not want to connect with what others have left behind.

In the public restroom, I prefer to choose the one with squatting pan rather than a toilet because then I don't come in contact with the toilet. But given no choice, I usually wipe the surface first eventhough it looks clean. Paper seat is great but if there is some 'leftover' wouldn't it absorb it?

Most if not all of the restrooms in the UK do not have paper seat covers provided. I do try hard not to use restrooms as most of them are dirty and disgusting and do not have toilet rolls. However if you go into stores and use their facilities they are much much cleaner.

I have no problem going in restrooms as long as they're clean.

not only do i use the paper seat covers but i also lay down toilet paper on top of them and sometimes i still squat over all of it, there are too many health reasons not to. I make my daughter do it as well, shes in the habit now of while were at home to do it at home. Its good that she stays on top of things like that.

I would never sit on a public toilet without putting one of those paper toilet covers or wiping it down with a wet wipe that has lysol or something that kills germs. Think about how many people come in there and use the toilets. And there is no way you can know how many of them have diseases. I often have wondered how many of them don't even bother to wash their hands after using the toilet. I try not to use the public toilets but sometimes when nature calls you don't have much choice. But take the time to make sure the toilets are clean. I always insure that.

i cover it yes on a #2 toilet paper i never see those paper seat covers.i stand to peee.

First I try very hard to never use a public toilet. When I am forced to use one I wipe the seat and use a cover. If ther is no cover I use toilet paper or just hover. LOL Then I wash my hands and touch everything with my towel when leaving the restroom. there are more germs on the door handle leaving the restroom than any other place in a public toilet. Think of all the people and kids who do not wash their hands and have just used the bathroom. Then they reached for the door germs and all and left. Always keep that in mind.

ALWAYS.. if they have them! If not I cover with toilet paper. It's just a sanitation thing for me.

i sometimes do, depending on how the bathroom looks. most of the time i just hover over the seat anyways. And the other day on Oprah, Dr Oz said you are unlikely to get anything from a toliet seat anyways.

No, but I have heard that you can use the new ones to dab the oil off your face instead of using those expensive pads from the make-up counter. Now there's a thought.

I would if they were available, but unfortunately they are a very rare commodity. I always try to avoid using public restrooms but in an emergency, I would use oodles and oodles of toilet paper to line the seat of the toilet before using it. The reason for this is, because I never know who might have been sitting there before me, or what germs they may have left behind them.

If the paper covers are there I use them if not I do what my great auntie taught me to do take the tp and place it on the back and sides of the seat. I tried not to use public bathrooms, I just like my own I guess. I saw the note you made about cell phones which I thought was kind of interesting because 98% of the time I would think that the germs on your cell phone are just that your germs and not 100 plus strangers. Also, I use the paper trick, because people who stand and use the toilet usually leave behind their splatters, yuckkkk and I am pretty sure even if they wipe down the seat they aren't are using antibacterial spray. :)

I do usually, since there's alot of germs on the seat.

I wipe the seat if I really have to sit down but most of the time I do a balancing act , I just have a thing about toilets , I have IBS and have to use toilets a lot but I would really prefer not too , xx

Yes, but I still do not trust the paper seat covers. I stand up over the toliet to pee. I try to avoid public restrooms if possible because they are so nasty.Most are but not all.

I do, I have often gone into restrooms where there is pee all over the toilet. Even if there is no pee there, someone could have wiped it down, it's so gross! If there's not seat covers available, I try my best to hang my rear over the toilet without touching the seat lol, that's getting harder as I get older!

yes I do, that way I feel better

We don't tend to have those in the uk, but i carry a packet of wet wipes in my handbag so if i think the seat is not as clean as i would like i will use one to wipe it beforehand.

I try not to go to public restrooms but if I have to i put 2-3 seat covers.
