I’m not even sure if that an option in the men’s room?
Regardless of where you are on the seat cover debate, you should be aware that you can stop those stupid flush sensors on public toilets from going off before you’re ready.
Cover that sensor with TP after you first arrive, and it keeps it from going off. Then when you’re ready to roll, take it off and drop it in the bowl and go. You can be like an action hero walking away from a fireball as it flushes, lol
Seriously, it’s just gross getting toilet sprayed, so I’m glad this trick exists.
If I waited until I was totally done to flush I’d have to carry a personal plunger around
Nope. If the seat is dirty I’ll wipe it down. The covers are usually wax paper that sticks to you and crinkle while you sit. They are usually not suitable for flushing and should be tossed out in a bin.
I know they are hygienic, but man do I hate those things.
I have bad news for y’all… Toilets are made from materials that are not porous for hygiene reasons. You are introducing a toilet seat cover made of paper, which is very porous. At best it does nothing cause it’s allowing a bunch of bacteria through anyway
I’ll wipe down the seat if there’s liquid on it, or select another stall if there’s worse. Paper liners are uncomfortable, noisy, wasteful, and don’t actually do anything useful.
The door handle is where you’ll pick up germs, not the toilet seat.
If I’m going to sit down then absolutely.
Totally agree
You can always hover
Negative. If the seat is that untrustworthy, I’ll just find a different toilet.

No, in most situations it’s needlessly germ phobic and wasteful. Using copious sheets of paper or a liner which gets flushed or goes in the bin is objectively a bad thing.
City sewers are often a wreck because people treat toilets like a magic black hole.
I usually do what I call “aerial bombardment” 😎 Just squat over the seat, not actually touching anything and aiming for the side of the toilet, so I don’t get hit by the splashes…
Thanks for getting shit and piss all over the seat for the rest of us.
Nope. I do clean first if the seat is visibly dirty, and I resent every second of it.
Yes. People are gross.
Only if they’re out of paper.
TIL there is such a thing as disposable toilet seat covers.
They most of the time aren’t available where I live, so I just rip up some toilet paper to cover the seat before sitting down.
Yes, although most of the time they are not provided, so I make my own out of TP. If not, I have a desinfectant spray on me that can clean the sit if it is not too disgusting.
They’re in the men’s rooms, but, if I absolutely have to use a public restroom, I’ll triple-fold lengths of toilet paper and cover the whole seat. Then I’ll kick them into the toilet once I’m done.
