Blimey I would have to carry loads of them my DH says I am like a Labrador when it comes to peeing. Having got to the age of 65 without any problems I think I would give them a miss. Catching anything from a toilets seat is negligible and I always practice good hand hygiene. More likely to pick up germs from door handles or stair rails than a toilet seat. Life is too short to worry about the what ifs

Absolutely. Surely if you wash your hands properly after going to the loo anyway, the risks of catching anything from a toilet seat are minimal.

Why would you buy a toilet seat cover? It is extremely unlikely that you will catch anything from sitting on the seat. All you need to do is make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly. I always make sure that I have a little bottle of hand sanitizer in my bag in case the water isn't hot.

hmm for the environment - more waste?
How do you dispose of them? Down the loo? In the sanitary bin? Or take them home?

I have to share this. I'm quite cock-a-hoop about it.

Ok here's the background to it......I thought absolutely NOTHING of popping into a public toilet. Never sat upon the seat, swarmed with invisible germs, always hovered above the seat, not a problem.

Fast forward to recent years.

Hovering is out of the question ( no need to blather on explaining why ) so I used lengths of loo paper to lay upon the seat for protection this enabling me to sit and wee. That was until for some unknown reason, when standing up a strip of loo paper ended up tucked into my bloomin pants!

Sooooooo ( yes i will get to the punchline) I thought they must sell disposable toilet seat protectors AND THEY DO.... AMAZON....

SOOOOOOOO I ordered some and made a special little pouch for them to go in... pop it in my bag and now visits to a public loo are noooooo longer a problem ( and no more dangling strips of loo paper protruding from my attire !!!!)

Yeahhhhhhhh I'm cock-a-hoop.... 😃
