I am a squatter. NEVER sit. I can NOT (and never have) used a public toilet for anything other than peeing. And vomiting when I was pregnant. Except when I lived in the toilets. That was unavoidable and I used to decorate the seat with tp.

They have that sign in the 'adult' bathroom at my son's preschool. It is HILARIOUS!

I sit. There are really no diseases you can contract from a toilet seat. Squatting just makes it harder for it to actually go into the bowl, and IMHO, its what makes some public bathrooms gross. If everyone sat, there would be no pee on the seats.



ITA! That seat is disgusting because for some reason when we squat the pee goes everywhere (Chat Icon) and I feel like more than half the squatter (present company exluded Chat Icon) do NOT wipe the seat... they couldn't care less about the people coming in after them.

Also, I feel like with squatting, you run the risk of spraying your pants!! Chat Icon Chat Icon
