    I avoid at all costs sitting down in public bathrooms but when I have to I hover for sure and flush with a foot!

    "No doubt about it, there could be a witch's brew of germs wherever you turn in public restrooms. Many people consider toilet seats to be public enemy No. 1 -- the playground for organisms responsible for STDs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. But before you panic, the toilet seat is not a common vehicle for transmitting infections to humans. Many disease-causing organisms can survive for only a short time on the surface of the seat, and for an infection to occur, the germs would have to be transferred from the toilet seat to your urethral or genital tract, or through a cut or sore on the buttocks or thighs, which is possible but very unlikely."

    Studies show that the first stall as soon as you walk in is the least used...so I always use first stall...and you gotta hover man. And you flush with your foot..I refuse to touch anything!

    YEP! Hover and use that first stall! Just make sure you get your toilet paper first unless you want a pretty good workout due to the t.p. tearing at every single square and you are stuck in a squatted position trying to grasp at every square you can because that public bathroom t.p. just seems to be designed that way! lol ;)

    Agree. As for the not touching anything. Just wash your hands with soap.

    Studies show less than half of men wash their hands after using the rest room. So those little bowls of mints at restaurants? Are shown to have urine on them. Unless the mints are wrapped, just say no to breath freshening!

    Indian bathrooms (outside of western hotels) don't have seats!

    I'm fat, I can't squat. And if I could I wouldn't be this fat. I just sit and get it over with. It's my *kitten* not my face so I'm fine with it. Plus, I live in one of the least occupied states in the union. Not like there are many people here to use before me.

    This! Although I only use public restrooms if I absolutely have to go and can't hold it anymore!

    It's not just India, a lot of bathrooms in France & Italy are of the squat type. As I learned when we inter-railed round Europe years ago. My OH had been before & knew what to expect & didn't warn me. I'd had a couple of glasses of wine, needed the bathroom, found it and was faced with a hole in the floor with 2 porcelaine footpads. Took me a while to work that one out!:laugh:

    I thought you were SUPPOSED TO flush with your foot. That's why they make it a little kick-bar thing. no?

    Hilarious! "kick-bar" That's exactly what it looks like. Every time I flush with my foot I'm going to pretend I'm kick starting a motorcycle!

    Do you lay down toliet paper or the annoying flappy seat cover on the seat or do you go "without protection?"

    wow. everything people say about the forum people is TRUE.

    Sometimes I use a cover, sometimes I just wipe if off first. I never use a cover at the gym.....the thing will stick all over my *kitten*! I am not afraid of my legs contracting a disease. Nothing but my legs/butt cheeks touch. I'm more likely to get a disease from a handrail. Obviously many of you have never traveled to a third world country. You'd never survive it mentally. lol

    Hovering and using your foot to flush are DISGUSTING! At least if you do that junk wipe down the seat and the handle after you do so. Stop getting pee on the seat and stop getting everything on the bottom of your shoe on the handle. GROSS!

    I don't think the OP should be allowed outside of the country, do you?

    I didn't read enough of the thread/their posts to make that decision. :laugh:

    It depends on what the public bathroom looks like. I usually use a seat cover if they are available or two seat covers if the bathroom looks pretty grungy. If there are no seat covers and the bathroom looks pretty grungy, I'll use toilet paper to cover the seat. I use my hand to flush though and I don't use any paper products to open the doors or turn on the faucet. I'm not sure why I started using the seat covers anyway. When I was growing up we didn't have indoor plumbing. We had an outhouse and that thing was anything but sanitary and we hardly ever got sick even with not washing our hands after going to the bathroom.

    Lol, I just asked the question. It was a random thought.

    I wipe it off with a little paper then sit my *kitten* down. I look back on where I have been in the Military and realize that I have had worse. LOL

    That study is for suckers.

    A newer study showed that no one goes right on the floor in the middle of the stall, so that's what I do.
    This way I don't have to whipe a seat nor touch anything dirty.
