I don't even sit on it-not even at home! I just squat and I'm a pro at it. It skeezes me out that other people have already put their naked butts on it. To me that's gross. If I absolutely have to sit down I'll put a toilet cover or toilet paper on the seat and toilet paper inside the toilet bowl, so my stools don't make a splash at me. That's another thing that grosses me out.

I always put paper down or use oneof the disposable seat covers. Public restrooms are just gross.

i just wipe the seats before sitting on it lol

I never do that. I just don't think I'm gonna get STDs from a public toilet.

your mom is doing what most of us should do. but I admit. I am one that will just sit down. unless the restroom looks messy. then I hover over it.

In public restrooms there is absolutely no way that I would sit directly on the seat. The only ways I'll use a public bathroom is to use t.p, toliet covers, or simply squatting over it.

well i work in a doctors office. And one day i was taking a call and a patient had this virus thing that involves worms coming out of your stool. The girls told me that one way to get it is from a toilet seat. So if i can i put a toilet seat cover on the seat everytime. Also i do carry hand sanatizer around with me and if there is a little pee on the seat, i will wipe it off and then put some hand sanatizer on the seat, wipe it down and then sit. You never know what you could contract now a days.

Haha, I'm with your mom. I just can't stand to think of all the people who have been there before me! So, I either crouch, or cover it with toilet paper. Although in desperate times, I will not lie, I have sat on the bare toilet seat ahhhh it gives me chills just thinking about it.

Hahaha
Cute question.

It depends on the place. If its like a gas station or fast food restuarant... some place like that, I alwayyyys cover the seats.

Sometimes I dont though but, only if the place is sanitary enough for my standards.

=)

I put paper or toilet covers down... I'm not a germ freak or anything but I just do it to be safe... you never know where the person before you has been lol

Just use toliet paper to cover the seats.just flush so you wont have to look like a freak.

I wipe the toilet seat and then I put toilet paper or the paper toilet cover. But, I NEVER sit down in public restrooms without doing that.

i understand that its more hygeneic to do that but like, i cant be bothered and im not really fussed by it...

yep im a toilet paper sitter too those public toilets are gross hate to think how many things are growing on it

I refuse to use a public restroom....I hold it!

i just wipe the seat before i sit down
then i go. ha.

lol well i squat or wipe before i go.

Ha ha. nice question. I don't even put paper down. i stand while going to the bathroom. Its very tricky and takes a lot of practice, but you never know what you could get from others nowadays!

I just dont use them! I make sure i pee b4 i leave. But if i seriously have to go i put paper on the seat AND stand up! Public bathrooms are just nasty!

I (and my 3 girls) use the potty covers that i buy. I have seen blood on the seats of public toilets and that was more than enough to convince me to never ever sit on a public potty! I usually try and hold it when my kids aren't with me and my friends now call me "sh*tbreak"!!!LOL!

As long as I can't see anything on the seat I will sit. It has been proven you can not catch anything from toilet seats.

Unless you actually rub your vagina on the toilet seat I don't see much of a reason why you would make sure it's always covered. Though if I'm going to a place where the bathrooms are quite dirty, i take some hand sanitizer and drip it on the seat and wipe the whole seat with it before I go.

I always put paper down. I just don't feel comfortable sitting directly on the toilet.

I've also heard of people cleaning off the seat with Purell before using it.

You *can* catch certain illnesses from toilet seats. The most common is rotavirus, and one of the most common ways it's transmitted is by sharing a toilet with someone who has the virus. It's very contagious, and you most certainly *can* get it from using an infected toilet seat. This goes for any infected toilet seat, though - not just public ones. You can get it in your own home if someone who has the virus uses your toilet.

Oprah did a show on this! Apparently it's perfectly fine to sit down on it. There's no way of contracting an std..just germs and it doesn't touch your genitals, just the skin on your butt. Why be paranoid about that. Juts think of what's on money we touch and what we do with our hands after we touch money..etc. eat, put them near our mouth...

Lol, funny question. Really random. I like it. I myself have sanitary wipes that I use to wipe the seat off and throw in them in the "women's" trash can in the stall. No biggy. I would, however, be scared if I saw a man and a woman come out of a stall together. At that point, I would avoid the stall completely. (Has happened to me. =[[ lol )

i always put paper down or the disposable toilet covers because u never no what you are going to sit on when u use a public restroom they r so gross

I always always do....its gross not to

i just squat over the toilet when in the public toilet at home i sit on the seat
