Ladies do you hover when on the Potty ?

Where I live, the shopping centres often have broken toilet seats because some women are used to squatting and the plastic seats are often broken. I don't know why reams of toilet paper is left on the floor or shoved in the bowl and never flushed either .

how would squatting break the seats.. when they squat they're hovering over the set now on it....

I can't remember the last time I used a public toilet, and it wasn't in pristine condition...

It's the weight of their bodies which breaks the often-flimsy plastic seats., they don't lift the seat to squat. The cleaning staff are always complaining about it.
 
I hate public loos ... and when you think about it most of the germs are on the flush handle, not just the pan.

So .. I go in and I hang my bag on the hook on the back of the door (the floor is germy) then I hover, I want some loo paper but don't like to touch the end (last touched by someone with germy hands) so tear it off half a foot up so it all unravels in a heap, I get the bit I want and then I finish my business. I have to flush but don't like to touch the handle, so get another small peice of paper to prevent my skin contacting with that ... toilet flushed. Mission complete. I unlock the door and I'm away, I've escaped. Except if I want to wash my hands I have to do it all over again.

Men don't know how lucky they are. A firm hand and a good aim and they're safe.

I donā€™t understand either of these.

Why? Itā€™s your own, clean home.

They only partially lift the toilet seat lid? Itā€™s the rare public washroom that I ever see a toilet with a lid.

Iā€™ve seen signs with a drawing showing ladies not to stand on the seat and squat.

I call it squatting.......I can call it that but I can't do it. All you ladies need to know is if the seat is cold it is safe to sit!

I call it that and can do it but it closes off something in my internal plumbing so no relief! TMI yet??? Have to use liners or a FUD.

Having lived in a land with a lot of "squatty-potties", I got pretty good at squatting. It was really hard when I was nine months pregnant, though. Since that kind of squatting is high near impossible for me now, I'd be sunk if that was the only thing available.

yes the Turkish/Italian. French/Spanish holes in the ground potties..which required everyone to hover ..
 
I am too heavy to hover and I have Bursitis in my upper leg too. If the washroom doesn't look clean then I will line the toilet seat with toilet paper and I flush the tp. We do have some washrooms here that have a lid for the toilet and I always put it down after I am finished.

I always put the lid down before I flush the toilet at home or in public...

Female urination device, a pee funnel. I keep a couple of disposable ones in my purse in case of restroom with disgusting toilets. Only have had to use them a few times.

I've only had to use one of those once, in India when we were out in a Rajah's hunting preserve looking for white tigers (didn't get to see a single one....) and the facilities at the rest stop consisted of a wall you went behind to squat on the ground.

The ground was disgusting beyond belief. I grabbed my "pee funnel" and headed for some bushes. It worked beautifully.
 
When I was a young adult I decided papering the toilet seat probably was unnecessary. ONE TIME I didn't do it, and I got ringworm down there (on the upper thigh)! Maybe fungus is bigger than bacteria, but I'm going to keep papering.

I suppose this means that the roll of paper they pull down on the exam table at the doctor's office does nothing?

Maybe I should use a sanitizing wipe on public toilet seats or something.

Why would anyone hover their own toilet? Do they not keep it clean?

Why? The only reason I wonā€™t sit on a toilet seat is because I dont know who else has used it so do it to be safe. I donā€™t actually sit on the toilet seat but hold myself up with my hands. My hands can easily be washed. Most washrooms I use are clean enough.
Iā€™d rather pee outside than pee in a filthy washroom.
 
Don't come to Australia if you are a bit squeamish. Especially if travelling inland and stop at a roadside rest stop. They you may find a long drop dunny with no paper and no water.

Actually, that one might not be in Australia. The Autumn leaves look very out of place.

This one looks more Aussie - corregated iron and gum trees.
It is very up market, even has toot paper.

Warrigal: I have used one of those drop dunnies. It was a very long drop, took 3 minutes before you heard a splash. I was warned earlier to take a roll of toilet paper with me in my luggage.
