When you use a public toilet do you sit on the loo seat or do you try to squat over it.Or do you tend to hold yourself to bursting point until you get home?

When using a public toilet I either squat if they don't have a paper cover for the seat. Most have the paper covers now. If they don't have the paper covers I also sometimes put toilet paper over the seat. I have walked out of a public bathroom when its really disgusting and have to look for a clean bathroom somewhere else.

I wipe the seat off and then I sit on it. If there's nothing to wipe it with, I squat.

Its a BIG NO for me. I never ever sat down even it is clean as it is still a public toilet and i am not ensure that all people who uses it is hygienic as i am. I could urinate with slightly lowering my body but not to completely sit down. Then, when I am about to burst and I could not control it, I do the same position as in urinating but this times i have a tissues with me, then after that wash my hands and put an alcohol on it.

If i have to go I use paper to sit on, if there is no paper I try to squat and will even put my hands on the seat because I can wash them later.

I always check the seat and then wipe it off with toilet paper. There are some place that have paper toilet seat cover on them so I will check and if need change it. If a seat is too bad I will just check for one that is not that bad. Most public place try to keep the toilets clean the only ones that seem to be real bad are one in reststop or parks which I never use.

When I have to use a public restroom , I always use those liners to put on the seat. If there are none of those, I use strips of toilet paper to put on there. I always bring germ x along or some antibacterial wipes in my bag. It helps.

Hi Jugsjugs


I don't sit on public toilet seats no matter how clean they look its just something about it that turns me off.

I squat or bend but I ain't sittin I guess the thought of using the bathroom after someone else other than my family have been in it just doesn't set well with me


Now I try not to ever have to do a #2 in a public toilet if so I must have paper and wipe of the seat and I use a lot of paper for extra protectionwink


I have been in some public toilets that were an absolute mess and stunk like you wouldn't believe! I hate going in after someone has done that its nauseating to say the least. When that happens I just turn right around and go back out the door because I can't hold my breathe that long but I have to do this every once in a while because there is this school bus driver who likes to use our store for her own personal crapqaurters and she comes in like 2 times a week.


I told the manager to tell her to stop doing that not sure if you can do that though since its a public restroom anyway I had to go really bad one day and who comes in ?............she does of course and I tried to wait it out till she was finished but by this time my bladder was screaming at me.I was doing the pee pee dance and I knew I wasn't going to make it across the parking lot to another building so I had to go.


I gotta tell you I held my breathe as soon as I walked in the bathroom and tried to hold it till I was finished urinating but I couldn't hold it and had to breathe through mid stream.


I took a breath and good lord!!shocked it just overwhelmed me to the point of nausea I'm thinking to myself lord have mercy woman what in the HELL did YOU EAT?!!You never seen a person clear out of a bathroom so fast.

This woman does this 2 or 3 times a week when school is in session she parks her bus and walks over to our building and there are other building before you get to ours go figure?

I look around to see if there are any paper toilet seat covers, and if there are, I put it on the seat before using it. If there aren't any covers, I usually squat over it. It's the same with the portable toilets; I rarely ever sit down on the seat. That would just be icky. doh

I use to hate using public restrooms. Even in school I would wait until I got home to use the bathroom. As I am getting older I start to use the bathroom before I leave work and home so I don't have to use public restrooms. I try to help out at work so the restroom is clean so I feel comfortable using it.
