Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
Public restrooms skeeve me till no end but of course we gotta use them. What is your technique in avoiding the nastiness?
I'm a squatter- try not to touch ANYTHING! Unfortuately, squatting is getting very difficult (31 weeks PG) so I may have to resort to lining (with half a roll of TP of course) and sitting

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
I line TP then sit. I find squatting messy and it really pisses me off when people pee on the seat and don't wipe it off
ETA: There are more germs on your cell phone and keyboard then on most public toilet seats

If I sprinkle when i tinkle I always wipe! But only if the bowl was clean before I got there! If it was already covered in urine and I sprinkle then I leave it!!
And as far as the germs on cell phones and keyboards - I KNOW i carry around a mini bottle of lysol and disinfectant wipes in my bag along with antibacterial gel but who knows if it really makes a difference

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
Depends on how gross the bathroom is and how badly I have to pee.....
Sometimes the bathroom can be so bad that I'd rather find a nice secluded bush to hide behind than use a port-a-potty...

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
Seems not so cut and dried.
I usually wipe if there is any offending liquid. Sometimes it's water. Then line the bowl or use a cover and sit.
I never squat unless I really have to.
I hate when people don't wipe up after themselves. I can't believe people actually leave it on the seat for the next person.

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
At work I just sit on the bare seat- I'm the only one who really uses that bathroom and the other people who use it, I consider friends and I figure I would sit on the toilet in their bathrooms in their homes and not feel gross if they used my toilet at home- so that's my reasoning there.
Other places- squat all the way!

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
I am really happy you made this poll because I am always curious about this.
Im surprised when I go into a stall and see it covered with urine, or worse when someone doesn't flush (especially when there is #2 in there )
Honestly, if the bathroom is not too bad I will do a thorough wipe and sit on the bare bowl - I cant seem to master the whole squatting thing. When I was in Japan and I was using their toilets it was not unusual for me to pee on my sock  so I don't even risk it.
If the bathroom is disgusting to begin with I don't bother.

totally.
also, you don't completely empty your bladder when you squat...and i have enough bladder issues without adding an infection to the mix (I am prone to them and they are PAINFUL)

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
i've never been a fan of the whole squatting thing unless i happen to be using a mens bathroom that is absolutely pee soaked (desperate times). Its just too clumsy and i'm never able to position myself right.
If there's some liquid on the seat, i'll just wipe it off (and curse whomever left it). I'm not worried about 'catching' anything from a toilet seat..its more of a thing about not wanting to sit on something that is wet.
a lot of time, the liquid is backsplash from when the toilet was last flushed - the water comes out of the bowl onto the seat.
My biggest issue is when you go into the bathroom and the floor is soaked - how do you avoid getting the bottoms of your pants all gross when you lower them?

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
I WILL NOT sit on public toilets or anyone's house. Just in MY house. And I clean it AFTER my visitors leave. I am a total germophobe.
My mom taught us (me and my sisters) how to squat when we were little girls. Otherwise she would lift us for us to pee (quite a picture!!!).

My mom used to lift us too She also taught me the art of squatting!
I will sit on the toilet at friends houses (it actually depends on the friend), but i also clean the toilet as soon as visitors leave!
I recently took my lil cousin out and I tried lifting her while she peed....little did I know that you have to have her lil coolie and back to you and i got peed all over def a learning experience!

I usually roll the bottoms of my pants as far up as possible BEFORE I go into the stall they first get wet. Then when I pull my pants down they dont touch the floor. HTH.

thats a MUST!! I always get my paper towel first, wash my hands, turn off the faucet with the paper towel and then open the door with it!

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
Guess what people...there are 400 times the amount of germs on top of your child's desk at school then there are on a toilet seat. You still going to hug them when they get home from school? Sure ya will!
Frankly, I have never heard of anyone contracting any communicable disease from a toilet seat. Sure, people get urine on a seat and nobody wants to sit in it. But just how many surfaces do you think a butt can really touch? More than your hands? Something to think about.
ETA: I dont hover. I have no balance. I will however, line a seat if I can. If its dirty, I wait til I find a cleaner option.

Re: Random Poll- When using a public restroom do you sit or squat?
I line the entire seat with at least 3 or 4 layers of TP and then I'll sit.
Bare bowl grosses me out and I can't squat, not comfortable for me.
