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

I'll hover or cover the seat in toilet roll

What disease do you think you will get if you don't do this @PrtScn?

Crabs used to be rife at one point didn't it?

The only toilet I'll actually sit on is my own, but I appreciate that's a me problem.

Should have run after her and told her she needed to drink more; she was obvs dehydrated if it was THAT yellow 🤣

You're not going to catch crabs from a toilet seat.

I sit. I wish everyone sat, maybe id have to spend less time wiping it all down first. My MIL makes a veritable cushion of bog roll between her and the seat. I only know this because she was horrified I hadn't taught DD to do it when she was small

Not likely, no. But it's not impossible. Pubic lice probably won't live long enough. I guess it's statistically unlikely that the person in front of you in the toilet queue has it.

I just have public toilet ick.

If you search the Internet hard enough, you will find the one in a bazillion case where someone got crabs from a toilet seat because someone with a terrible infestation had been in ten seconds earlier and Venus was in Pluto and and and.

You are not going to get crabs from a toilet seat. You are not going to get anything from a toilet seat. You already have things living on and in you (don't look up eyelash mites). You are not a sterile environment. You will occasionally get a cold. You are not going to get crabs from a toilet seat.

Want to really live in fear? Read up about your kitchen sponge.

I have a dishwasher..........

But do you have eyelash mites @PrtScn

I've probably got worse than eyelash mites, but I know I don't have crabs 😂

You have nothing that isn't dishwasher friendly?

That's OK. You have hand towels and bed sheets.

And you won't catch crabs from a toilet seat.

Catching crabs from using the toilet correctly was never ‘rife.’ You might as well scour the records and find a case where somebody was hovering over the toilet and lost their balance and fractured their skull and say ‘don’t hover, smashing your head in used to be rife.’

Humans skin is home to millions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. We are not sterile environments that must avoid all contact with the natural world, we are part of the natural world and teeming inside and out with microorganisms.

This has actually restored my faith in womankind. I can't stand hoverers. I get terrible terrible mensrtrual cramps (adenomyosis) and have to sometimes run in to pass a huge clot... No I don't have time to look... Sitting on a seat soaked in someone else's piss is the absolute worst.. happened to me all the time in my old office where there was at least one AWFUL hoverer who left everything soaking. Like a man had been in there. Grim grim grim.

Sit on the toilet seat you weirdos it's literally what it's designed for. PLEASE.

I have never understood women who are this fastidious. Wipe the seat with loo roll then sit on it.

Hoverers are being ridiculous.

They aren't fastidious, they're spraying everywhere, causing it to trickle down their legs and not emptying their bladders properly.

What happens to me is I sit down on a seat that looks fine, only to find the backs of my thighs are soaking when I get up, because the filthy cow hoverer before me didn’t wipe the seat properly but just smeared the piss all over it.

Maybe you need to go to Specsavers.
Wee on a seat is usually quite obvious, and if in doubt, get some tissue and wipe it.

😂😂😂

I take a mop and bucket, a bottle of bleach and a cloth

@PrtScn You can't catch crabs from toilet seats. They are like nits- they jump from head to head at most, or more often with close contact. They aren't waiting on the toilet seat for your bottom.

I thought these fairy tales about catching ''VD' as STIs were known had died out in the 1950s?

And yes, crabs are not STIs but you take the point.

A film of moisture, as opposed to droplets, is not always easy to see.

The minute I saw the word 'Restroom' I knew this was a US site and it would be wrong.

The feature is written by a journalist and 'reviewed' by a dr, who clearly wasn't thinking properly that day.

If there was a louse on the seat, you'd see it.

It's never a film of moisture though is it? If it IS it's probably splash-back when from the loo was flushed.

Why don't you just wipe the seat anyway? Takes 5 seconds.

Prtscn, you clean your kitchen surfaces with a dishwasher?
