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

You ask everyone you know if they sit or hover? No one has ever asked me that in my entire life.

😂

I put paper on the seat.

Never hovered and always assume the nasty drips are from hoverers. So they all create a viscous circle for each other. Creating more hoverers.

It's bum flesh not open bits touching the seat ffs ...not open bits. It's the same as putting a hand on a rail if no mess on it.

I should have phrased it differently. I suppose I probably do know some people who don't hover because it's not a conversation I've had with every single person I know or have met. But my close family and friends yes - this has come up at one or two points in conversation and all of them are 100% hoverers!

'So they all create a viscous circle for each other.'

Ew, a viscous wee circle. 🤢

Just wipe it, if you want, and sit down. Job done! If the seat looks disgusting though I wouldn't use it anyway, I'd pick a different cubicle.

Hovering is tricky and makes it harder to go. Squatting is better than hovering, but obviously not an option for UK toilets.

I heard that there are poo particles in the new hand driers as people never wash hands fully - as taught during Covid- so minute poo particles fly around.
I’m more worried about that.
Mind you I go swimming daily so probably swimming in urine. Also I drink water from a tap that’s probably circulated a few times.

Yes women are 100% honest about their personal habits in face to face conversation with close family and only lie about it when anonymous on the internet.

Have you stopped to think that there will be molecules of bus drivers' farts in the air that you breathe?

This thread is for some reason reminding me of the WC Fields quote "I never drink water because fish fuck in it."

If everyone sat on the seat, it wouldn’t be covered in piss!!

I always sit. Usually need to wipe the seat cos someone else has missed the bowl.

The worst public toilet I saw had dirty shoe prints on the actual seat!! Actual black marks of shoe tread clearly visible and they’d managed to shit down the lifted lid and back of the seat. Dirty bugger 😠 Toilet was totally unusable because someone decided to practice their gymnastics whilst taking a shit!!

Plonk my lard arse on the seat. Need to.pee in comfort🤣

@FKATondelayo But that's not true... as this thread demonstrates

Why? What's going to happen if you sit on it? Absolutely nothing

🤣🤣🤣

Me too, hovering above the seat is almost as mad as hoovering the seat!

Exactly. Hoverers leave the seat a mess.

It actually makes me angry to see that some people have been too precious to sit on a toilet seat, yet don’t care about leaving it covered in pee for the next person coming in.

It’s disgusting

I always sit properly, I already have bladder issues that lead to retention and incontinence and I know that hovering makes it more difficult to fully empty the bladder, increasing UTI risk.

I've never done that in my entire adulthood (I think I might have done it when I was fairly little because I saw my mum doing it), and I don't normally wipe the seat either, only if it looks dirty. To the best of my knowledge I've never had any illness arising from these preferences.

@Morestrangerthings because I'm not touching any more of the public toilet than I absolutely have to (namely the flush)

I've literally never hovered. I just don't think about, or care about, any possible toilet germs! Still here 🤣

Perhaps you've heard tell of thing called the office? People at work have to pee; also, people out in restaurants, pubs, clubs, visiting others' houses. In any case, I am not a urologist or a urogynaecologist - just repeating what they say.

I’ve never been able to hover, cos how can you be so confident the person goes straight down, and doesn’t trickle down the side of your thighs??!!! I am not the most balanced person 😂 I always give the toilet seat a good wipe before and after using it anyway. I normally wet tissue and use a bit of hand-wash to clean it, then wipe it dry, so I can feel a little more comfortable sitting on the seat.

The pee* not the person goes straight down 😂
