    Default Public toilets: sit or squat?

    I was having this conversation with some friends the other day and we were talking about whether we sit on the toilet in public bathrooms or if we squat above it.

    Just wondering do you sit or squat? And if you squat, why is it? Is it true that it's dirty and is it possible to catch anything?
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    I always squat. Only sit at home or at a close friends home. I don't want a possibly/most likely germy and dirty seat touching my skin, and I think papering a seat is a waste of time and effort when it's so easy to squat.

    Ummm sit. Sitting on a toilet seat is far less gross that some of the hand washing habits I see. And you don't get freaking crabs from toilet seats.

    It depends on what kind of public we're talking about. When I'm at the nice gyms, I sit. They're cleaned every 10 minutes anyways. At wholefoods i tend to sit. In REALLY public toilets I squat.

    Depends. If it looks dry I sit, if there is any sort of moisture on the seat, I squat.

    I sit. If the toilet seat is such a mess that I'm disgusted, I'll just hold it and go another time.

    And I second that you cannot get crabs from a toilet seat. Or herpes. Geesh!

    another hover-er here... And I'm quite aware that I can't get any diseases from a toilet seat, I'm just not comfortable sitting on them- public restrooms just skeeve me out.

    I sit. And I wish to high heaven that everyone else would too, because I HATE it when there's spray all over the seat. If you're going to squat and hover, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of G-d wipe the seat down afterward.

    My new theory: squat on the east coast; it's okay to relax in the west. (Never been to CA tho)

    When I moved out here I was always squatting, and wiping down after. Guess I didn't do a good enough job, cuz my friend, said 2x she went into a public bathroom after me, and there was piss on the seat. I was so busted. So I started to just wipe down and paper. But when I went back to the east coast......things got horrendous. Always squat there.

    An alternate solution: My grandmother is very OCD clean and refuses to sit on public bathroom seats. So she uses her foot to put the seat up like a man, and squats over the bowl. Seems the most courteous solution if you're going to hover - I mean, that's why men put the seat up too, after all.

    My mom has horrible OCD about using ANY public bathrooms, even holding it in all day at the office---she's gotten kidney stones twice because of it!! It's important to pee ladies.

    I put paper down, when I squat I feel like my bladder doen't empty properly and so I still need to pee even after I've finished.

    i sit. it's not like my vagina touches the seat, i'm pretty sure the backs of my thighs aren't too susceptible to any diseases that may be on the seat. if the toilet looks dirty, i just don't go.

    Here is a pretty good description of one person's take on how to use a public toilet. Worth reading.

    I do two of the options. First I see if the seat has wetness on there, if it does and it's minimal, I clean it off with a large piece of TP. Then I paper the seat and sit.

    But if it's completely gross, I hover. I have legs like steed.

    Love it!

    I'm a squatter but I do wipe down after. There is NO WAY I'm sitting my bare ass on anything that is public, I don't care that you can't catch anything!

    I also use my foot to flush. Then the paper towel I dry my hands after I wash, I use to touch the door handle to exit, while precariously balancing the door so I can toss it before I leave. I'm not alone in this practice for I have witnessed strangers doing the same thing.

    I sit. It's your butt! Unless you have random people kissing and licking it all the time why worry? The only precaution I take is to wash my hands afterwards. I haven't caught crabs or scabies or staph or anything like that. Doubt i will.

    An industrial strength Chinese squatter (sitting isn't an option). In a country with over 1 billion butts, the design makes sense.
