Toilet seat covers

Who uses them?

I remember reading in Men's Health or some other magazine that the toilet seat is actually a place of low risk to catch diseases, unless you have a big cut or sores on your butt. I don't see though how this flimsy piece of paper can protect me from anything.

And there are times when your ass is about to fall out and you don't even have split second to place one of those things down! But they are nice on a cold seat.

    I call 'em "Ass Gaskets".

    I do use them (I am a chick), but I always wonder why I do, because I mean...by very nature your ass already has germs on it so who are we kidding by using them?

    There's a considerably higher amount of germs on a telephone receiver than a toilet seat.
    And any toilet seat cover I've seen just made it so the seat never stayed up anyway...

    yeah, i use them

    in a public restroom, how can you not?

    but i do know a toilet is a low risk place to catch a disease. they say a kitchen sponge has more bacteria on it than a toilet.

    Aren't we the only country who uses them? They only place I found them when living overseas was in Ikea :o

    I think it's one of those things that make you feel better instead of actually helping.

    Like a see-through piece of toilet paper or tissue paper is really going to stop any germs.

    But to answer the question, yes... i use them.

    They need to put a faucet and some anti-bacterial lotion in the stalls. If you think about how many asses sit on those public toilet seats. Ahhh, disgusting. But when you gotta go, it doesn't matter who sat there!

    I use them. Somehow they make me feel safer.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I do remember in the Chicago O'hare airport a few years back that they had automatic toilet seat covers. There was a button you pressed and a new ring just wrapped itself around the seat. Genius!!

    Last year at the East Rutherford PJ shows was the first time I saw purel in a porta potty! I agree with the above! More lotion in the stalls. Wait, that sounded wrong. More cleaning supplies in the stalls!

    Thats an absolute truth. I saw Gene Simmons walk out of a bathroom with one sticking out of his pants. My friends and I tried to warn him but he flipped us off and walked away.

    I was in the UK last month, and noticed that public toilets there do not provide them.

    Luckily, I have learned where all the clean toilets are....Harrods is the best!

    I hear that on Kid Rocks tour bus the actual seats spin. However, no amount of sanitizer will make them clean. Care to comment? ;)

    Sick. Then your ass would have touched thousands of other asses all on the same wrapping.

    Why can't this Chicago toilet wrapping bit travel around the rest of the country?

    I always hover :)

    I don't use the toilet seat covers cause I don't want my junk down there in the bowl.

    Most toilets are way cleaner than the handles to them. I'll use them occasionally if it is a particularly disgusting one, but other than that the only time I use them is if the toilet paper is empty. They work great in a pinch. ;)

    I use toilet seat covers every time they are available. I like them a lot actually. I like them so much I have dispensers in my own bathrooms at home so I can use them there.
