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

[summerfinn]

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

This. The irony is it's the hoverers causing the mess that results in people hovering

Crazy isn't it? Or the people who use wads and wads of loo paper just because it's free.

Those who hover - have you always done it, from when you were toilet trained, or is it something you started doing later in life?

I have tendancy to fall over when squatting generally, so don't hover. Most public toilets in my area clean and in the rare incident of a wet pub toilet seat I've no problems cleaning it.

Seen other girls hovering, spraying everywhere and just walking off. Alcohol mainly involved.

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

What exactly are you worried about?

My husband said when he was a kid his father told him to use a maximum of 4 sheets; any more was wasteful. He said he knew better than to say 'So it's all right to walk around with a shitty arse?'

No one I know does this, and I don’t either. It’s only something I read about in mumsnet. I’d maybe do it if I had to use an especially scummy outside/public toilet somewhere.

And it is precisely this hovering that covers the seats in pee. Gross!

I always hover over the bog - I’m not sitting in some strangers piss

I do the hover/squat but always give a courtesy wipe after. The downsides are the extra urination noise plus women don't fully empty their bladders if they're tense. Sometimes I hover/squat if the cubicle is narrow and there's a sanitary bin pressing against my thigh😡

No, I haven't always done it. Just since being diagnosed with a cystocele last year, I have to hover,then arch my back,in order to void

You do realise that only a fraction of wees are had on public toilets? It's not going to have much impact on the likelihood of UTIs, pelvic floor problems etc.

Stop hovering ya dirty beggars you leave behind your wee splashes for the next unfortunate to have to clean!! And there is nothing worse than plonking your buttocks/thighs on a strangers piss if you haven't checked because you've been busting!! 🤣

I always have a small bottle of hand gel in my bag. Squirt a bit on some loo roll and wipe the seat before use. No need to hover.

Never hovered. All the Dyson gags made me cackle after a beast of a day. Thanks everyone!

If you hover, don't you get wee dripping down the inside of your legs towards the end as the flow starts to tail off?

What a bizarre thing to say. Do you think most women stay at home all day and perhaps do a quick one in Tesco when shopping for their husband's dinner?

Never hover, can’t these days due to fucked knees but never have anyway. Don’t see why I would!

Skin is a pretty good barrier!

Far too logical for some. In the US I’m sure the public loos had paper seat shaped covers in the cubicle you could use.

On what planet do 90% of toilet seats have wee on them? Jesus, where are you people toileting? A creche?

And I speak as someone who has sons AND used to work at music festivals. Never hovered, never picked up Thigh Plague.

You could get a wad of tissue and wipe it? Hovering seems nuts to me.

What do the hoverers do if you need a poop and can’t wait till you get home?

I wonder how the poster came up with this precise percentage.

I just piss myself to save having to use the plague-infested Petri dishes that are public toilets.

I don't know anyone who doesn't hover. I was taught to hover as a kid so since then it's been pretty standard practice.
