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

Always, always, always hover on any toilet that is not my own.
Always, always, always wipe the seat before I leave with a wet wipe just in case but because I have been hovering since the year dot, I am a dab hand at aiming.

I’m a sitter.

No wonder the queues in ladies toilets are massive with all the seat covering and anti bac wiping!

we use Shark which sounds a lot more dangerous when using the toilet.

Never hovered, I’m a sitter.

This. I couldn’t understand why , around 15 years ago, I started walking into women’s loos being met with piss all over the seat, as if some bloke had used it.
then I saw all the shite about hovering above the seat. Doh

whats worngnwith just wiping the seat with loo roll and sitting on it as per design and ensuring your piss actually goes down into the bowl? Those hoverers are just making the situation worse as it only takes one hoverer early on after loos are cleaned to make all the following women go 🤢 and hover themselves, and it gets worse and worse through the day

really, stop. Sit properly and then wipe the seat down when you finish before you flush. Simples. Clean. And better for your bladder and bowels . Hovering in that position is bad posturally

fgs, I thought we’d moved forwards from squatting over holes in the ground or drains in the floor- at least that position is known to be better for full evacuation of bladder and bowels and makes some sense.

I rarely wipe the seat either. Only if it clearly needs it and even then normally only with loo paper as I rarely carry anything else with me. Though to be honest I'd probably move to the next loo if that is an option.

I'm never ill.

I sit down. If a toilet looks so disgusting that I'm nervous to sit down properly (and it's usually ended up that way because of hoverers), then I just don't use it.

I hover and NEVER leave piss on the seat. I shall continue to hover and ruin my bowels, my bladder and my posture lol.....what a crock of shit...pardon the pun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seeing as it is probably physically impossible for almost anyone to lick the back of their own thighs

😂 I just laughed out loud at the imagery

So is hoovering, which is a good excuse not to do it.

I read the same. I don’t hover for this reason, plus it’s more comfortable to sit.

I've never hovered. I bet the people who manage to piss on the floor in the toilets in my local supermarket are hoverers.

If a lav is so minging that I'm not prepared to allow the seat to come into contact with the unbroken skin of my arse, I'd rather pee in a bush, frankly.

you hover in your own house?!

No I sit down. I only hover if there's nothing to clean the sheer amount of piss some dirty bastards leave behind. But that rare because I carry tissues usually.

Are you a foot flusher too?

I have never hovered. I've reached age 60 without anything weird happening to me. No infections or illness or diseases.

Public toilets freak me out a little bit, so I wipe the seat - hover and pee - wipe the seat again (just in case...) and flush. I wouldn't rub my bare arse against someone else's so I'm not sitting on that seat.

Brilliant for the thigh muscles. I've always done it.

Iv spray in handbag. So spray and wipe. Only hover if utterly grim like porta look and something I can hold onto.

I also despair at wee all over the place. Hover if you like, just wipe up after. And don't get me started on people who can't flush.....

maybe this is why I'm great at squats?!

I have managed to survive 65 years of using public loos without ever having felt the need to hoover. I have on rare occasions hovered, but only when the seat was obviously filthy and there was no other loo available.

I sometimes hover and sometimes dont. Depending on the loo or my mood. I manage not to drip on the seat.

I'm a sitter. I can't imagine how you'd catch anything from a loo seat. Surely the bit that's vulnerable (your vagina) is 'hovering' already as it's over the hole in the seat? I usually give the loo seat a quick wipe just to make sure it's dry but that's it.

Do the hoverers also hover if they need to do a poo? If not, why not? Surely if you sit to poo, it's the same as sitting to wee? The vaginal area doesn't just get plastic coated because you're pooing - it's still open and in the same place as it is for a wee. And if you do hover to poo, how do you make sure it's going in the pan? OK, I've grossed myself out now!

Just as an aside, my sister kept getting prolonged bouts of UTIs/cystitis. In the end the GP asked if she sat or hovered over the loo. She said she hovered. The GP told her to sit. It helps to empty the bladder properly.

• The NIdirect.gov website says to prevent UTIs by ...'if you're a woman, avoid ‘hovering’ over a toilet seat as it can result in your bladder not being fully emptied'

🤔 you spread your ass cheeks to pee?

Never do, never have. I just wipe the seat first, if some particularly inconsiderate hoverer has left drips on it.
