Most women hoover above toilet seat in public toilets to pee?

637 replies

I was out this weekend and had to use the toilet to pee. I normally hoover above toilet seat to pee in public toilets and was thinking to myself this is difficult especially if I need to do a long pee🙈😂 Is this what most women do too or am I being extra germ conscious and should just wipe the seat and sit down? Sorry if tmi but I'm just curious

I take some loo paper and lift the seat up and then I hover and when I have finished I take another few sheets of paper replace and the seat and flush.

So you don’t want your thighs to touch the toilet seat, but touching the seat and toilet paper before and after you pee with your hands is great and fine?

What on earth is the logic there? Yuck, that toilet seat is dirty, I can’t sit on that! Better lift it and play with toilet paper around it and then piss hovering over it then touch it again.

I sit but if the toilet seat looks especially grim I'd place some loo roll down.
I don't lick the back of my legs.

I wipe the seat with tissue and sit down. My knees wouldn't appreciate me hovering now 🤣 fuck it.

In future, spend literally 5 seconds to proof read before posting.

I’ve never hovered.

I just cover the front part of the seat with toilet paper.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 08/06/2023 20:32

I sit down. I'm unaware of anything nefarious that could penetrate my generous arse cheeks, so I'd rather be comfortable 😉

I never hover over the seat. Haven't caught anything horrific yet.

Me neither. My Mum always used to say you’re more likely to get a urine infection from not emptying your bladder properly hovering. So never do and have been fine. I do look before I sit and wipe the seat if needed.

Ifeelsuchafool · 08/06/2023 20:27

I used to hover before COVID but always lifted the seat before doing so, I mean, why wouldn't you??? Some older people or kids literally can't hover and why would you risk peeing on a seat others have to sit on??
Since COVID, I go nowhere without wipes and hand sanitiser so always wipe the seat before and after peeing (respect for the person following). Unless it's a particularly grubby loo, then I go and find another! 🤣

I used to do this until my Dyson got too unwieldy to lug round the shopping mall so now I just take a dustpan and brush instead.

For the hoverers out there. Just to add to your paranoia

No hovering here (although a bit of hoovering from time to time). Germs are good for you!

celticprincess · 08/06/2023 20:23

Never hover, always sit. But the other comments now explain why I often have to clean other women’s pee off the seat which is gross. I never dribble and did wonder why it’s often there.

I'm just wondering how many hoverers give their husband's a blow job or partake in anal sex. The germs you are exposing yourself to must be off the scale compared to putting the backs of your legs on a piece of porcelain. Presumably some of the hoverers are entirely okay with this.

Why would anyone plant their naked bottom onto a piece of plastic that hundreds of others bottoms have been on. Always hover.

Because you plant your naked hands on things that hundreds of other naked hands have touched.

When I hover if there are any drips on the seat I wipe them up. The first night in a hotel bed makes my skin crawl . Thinking of who slept here before me. I'm weird I know 😂 judging by reply's to my post

If the bed freaks you out don't Google anything about the runner thing that goes at the end of the bed, or the glasses in the bathroom. And for God's sake don't Google 'hotel kettles' . Oh and never,ever leave your flannel or toothbrush in the bathroom if your room is going to be serviced.

You're making them wet by hovering!!!!

Show quote history

No I am not, because I'm polite enough to wipe if I need to, which is rarely. I have to wipe for my daughter to sit, that's disgusting because many women don't clean up after themselves.

But not everybody's job lot emerges without touching the sides. Some come out whole after one contraction (as he puts it!) and others sort of ooze out! Sorry if this is TMI. Maybe TP was rationed or something.

Definitely don't hoover .....or hover.... but I don't normally eat with my arse and always wash my hands when I'm done.....

Spottycarousel · 08/06/2023 19:52

I'm in my 40s, frequently use public loos, always sit on the seat, never had any issues!

My husband was allowed 3 sheets of toilet paper. One up, one down, one polish.
