I don't know why I put this in "potty training" but whatever! (ETA: It was moved to play space)
Whenever I'm in a public bathroom, I always hear people using the paper toilet seats covers. So.... Poll:
-
Hover/Squat!
-
@autumnlove: Always always or depending on the toilet/bathroom?
-
Yes I do - even though I have heard that its not really the germiest place I still do it
I can squat if its really gross but I cant fully empty my bladder that way
-
I hover.
-
I always do if it's available. If it's not, I use TP to MAKE a cover.
I don't squat. I have short legs. Squatting is messy and hard for me.
-
I always use TP. I hate those covers, they're always so thin and they end up falling halfway in the toilet. It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine when people hover and get pee all over the seat and they don't wipe it. Ugh. So gross!
-
@LindsayInNY: always always at truly public places! I also use my foot to flush if the toilet doesn't auto flush!
ETA: I know a girl who uses the covers to blot her face....lol! Cheap oil soakers!
-
Nope never used it! At most I wipe real quick w/ TP. I am not skilled enough to hover/squat either!
-
It depends on the condition of the toilet seat. Most of the time, I just sit because I usually have H with me and I don't have any place to put her. But if it's truly gross, I hover. Sometimes I use the paper things because they are there or I use toilet paper to make a cover.
-
I do the same thing as @.twist. If there isnt one available, I make one with TP.
-
Depends on the bathroom and my mood.
-
I hover. I never sit on public toilets. The exception to that is the toilet at work. Still hover for #1 but sit for #2 and use two toilet seat covers.
-
Lol I have never thought of this! I sit, squat if it looks gross!
-
Nope, never.
-
I put 2 or 3 covers on or use toilet paper to cover if seat covers aren't available. Hovering is uncomfortable (I'll do squats at the gym not while I pee!)
-
I never use them, I just hover, but I was at the Chicago airport yesterday and they had the coolest thing! They had toilet seat covers that looked like saran wrap, and when you went in you waved your hand in front of a sensor, and it automatically applued a new one for you!
-
I don't use them, or hover. I just sit on the toilet seat. Call me gross!!
-
@Beebug: I only thought it because I literally hear someone using one almost every time I'm in the bathroom!
@IRunForFun: I love those!!
-
@IRunForFun: I've seen those too. SO COOL!
-
@LindsayInNY: I feel like I've never seen them in bathrooms, odd time maybe, wonder if they are more common in US vs here?
-
@LindsayInNY: @.twist.: They were a novelty to me haha.
-
@Beebug: It might be the germaphobe nature of the US
Where we have hand sanitizer in the bathroom along with soap and water!
-
@IRunForFun: seriously, I want them in my house. I'd never have to clean another toilet seat again.
HA!
-
Not to be gross but I use them if I must must go #2 in public, which I hate, but can't hover for. To pee I always always hover.
-
Nope... But I am not freaked out by germs at all.
-
In a public restroom, that is not my work restroom, I hover and squat, and if there is any stray spray, I clean it up.
-
@Silva: I feel the same way. As a result I have an iron gut, haha.
-
I always sit on the toilet. I swear, that's why ladies bathroom lines are so long - all these women trying to hover while they pee or applying TP all over the seat. I imagine toilet seat covers can be used fairly quickly, so I'm glad they've invented them for the squeamish.
-
I only hover. But I'm slightly germaphobic haha!
-
I'm a squatter
-
I voted that I use them, but I really just toilet paper to cover wherever I am, even if the cover is available, I find toilet paper easier. I am not a squatter though.
@ShootingStar: I agree with everything you said!
-
seeing the results of the poll makes me firm in my decision to always cover. I thought everyone covered or squatted, but it seems most don't do either!
-
I'd prefer seat covers but sometimes they move and ICK! Now that I'm in Asia, what seat covers?! I'm lucky if they have regular toilets and not squat ones. So now I just hover. I have strong thigh muscles now!
-
@californiadreams: I do too! That is that toilet paper is easier. The seat covers move and shift. It's faster to just pull the toilet paper but not too much or else it'll slide off the side. A lot of TMI here!
-
@erwoo: yup!
-
Unless it's a sketchy bathroom I just sit right down!
-
I hover or cover (with anything, the covers or TP). But when I cover, I always put a ton of TP to cover my hand and wipe the seat anyway.
Women tend to be disgusting and pee all over the seat and just leave it there for the next person.
If I hover, I always ALWAYS wipe the seat afterward, too.
-
@Silva: @MediaNaranja: Phew, thank you!!! I hardly ever get sick which I attribute to that
-
I can't believe people actually hover. I mean to each her own, but that's totally uncomfortable. And, I hate when hoverers pee on the seat. Just sit down and pee IN THE TOILET!
I use a cover if it's available!
