I always use my foot to flush public toilets!

As often as I can, I use my foot!!!
There is a restaurant in our city where the flusher is actually a button on the floor. So when you're done, you just step on it. GENIUS!

Always my foot. Sometimes in a restaurant I'll use my hand, if it seems clean and is a smaller place (but of course wash my hands well!).
@.twist.: That IS genius!

The only place I use a public restroom these days has automatic flushers. But, I'd use my hand...I'm about to go wash them, anyways.

With my foot. And I can still do it, 38 weeks pregnant.
And then wash my hands, turn off the water with a paper towel, and then open the door with the paper towel as well.

@katiew92081: Our work has auto flushers and I hate them! I find they are never going off when I need them to and end up having to press the button and then sometimes they go off when I'm not even done yet! Cold air right up the vag.

@katiew92081: ditto! I'm washing my hands about 10 seconds after I flush, so I use them.

@habesbabe: Right...I won't be washing my foot right after, so where are those germs going?

@katiew92081: I wonder who started the whole "foot-flushing" fad... if everyone just used their hands, then I wouldn't have to wash dirt off mine after flushing!

Usually my foot. But in the handicap stall sometimes w/my hands...I figure a handicapped person probably has to use her hands so maybe I shouldn't get floor germs on it.

@Arden: I do exactly the same thing! I really don't like restrooms that don't have papertowels!

Am I totally gross for using my hand and then washing my hands after?

@HabesBabe: seriously this. I don't want to touch all the terms on the bottom of your feet.

if it's possible I'll use my foot, but sometimes if it's a toilet like in my house (not with the little metal bar flusher) I'll use my hand.

They don't creep me out because I always wash my hands so, I use my hand.

Use my foot...unless its one of those buttons you have to press on the side. We don't wear shoes in the house, not worried bout the germs on my shoes.

It depends on how clean the stall appears to be. I'll use my foot if it looks scary, or my hand if not. I wash my hands after I use the bathroom anyway.

I've never flushed a toilet with my foot in my life. I'm not sure I even have the balance to do that. I'd rather have some germy hands for the five seconds it takes to get out of the stall and to the sink than be the girl crashing around/falling down in the bathroom stall at work! I can't think of any public toilets I've used that are really gross, though. Maybe if I was frequenting nasty bathrooms I would figure out the foot thing.
