Toilet seat covers - are they a thing of the past?

Why would people not want to dry between their toes? Yuk.

I thought everyone would have a loo brush, how do you clean around the toilet and rim....mine sits in bleach in its holder and changed frequently. Another topic

My late mother’s bathroom - loo sear cover, carpet round the base of the loo to catch the drops of pee to make a nice squidgy mess and finally, a scary pink doll to hide the loo paper. Grim!

And what on earth is wrong with a loo brush!

I too feel sorry for the OP. Some comments didn't sound nice.
I too don't use a seat cover but only because its an extra thing to wash and I don't like them. My husband pees in the toilet so it wouldn't be a hygiene problem. Same with a pedestal mat. Like another poster its more comfy to put your feet on in the middle of the night.
The only place I could find 3 piece sets was Wayfair. Good luck with your search LyWa

Incidentally its important to dry between toes.

Totally agree with the horror of loo seat covers... Ugh, but am beginning to feel a little sorry for the OP who hasn't returned and presumably wishing she'd never asked the question!

Mops up wee-wee beautifully! Mm-mmm... just what you want in the bathroom.
I won't even have a toilet brush in my home... vile objects.
Before you ask - you could eat your dinner off my loos. (But I usually stick to plates on the dining room table.)
Seriously, have you tried Amazon?

Toilet seat covers - awful. On a par with those awful little mats that fit snuggly around the toilet collecting all the drops of pee. Yuk. As others have said a towel is your best solution.

A cotton bath mat, not microfibre or just a guest towel could suffice. Would say though you would need to be careful a flat covering didn't slip off the seat. I know the well known Swedish store sells a small bath mat with a non slip backing. Whilst the surface is microfibre it is very short and flat unlike the usual shaggy dog bath mats.

Can't remember when I last had a Loo seat cover!! I do as others do and sit on a towel then check it in the wash!

I cant understand why so many don't dry their feet, its so important to dry between your toes.

Me neither.
How do you all not have foot rot?

I remember my mother asking me, in baffled tone, why I didn't like the idea of carpet in a bathroom.
(She had moved into a rented house with bathroom carpet in situ.)

Even if no-one pees on the floor, it's a damp environment which means carpet can't be hygienic, imo.

I have 2 strong little wooden boxes/stools in the bathroom which are used for laundry and also for sitting if necessary.

They’re vile nasty things. Gross gross gross. Use a bath mat that is washable and can be hung over the shower when not in use. Otherwise, if you have a disability, you can get shower and bath stools to sit on .

Thank you all for your messages. I feel slightly under attack on hygiene issues and do feel the need to add that………
a) my toilet seat is very strong and is fine to sit on, b) I have been using a towelling seat cover that goes in the wash with my bath towel and bath mat twice a week, c) I am the only one that uses this shower room and d) maybe I am more particular about cleanliness than some, but when I come out of the shower I can honestly say that sitting down would not cause a hygiene problem.

Am I the only one who just stamps on a towel - then toddles off into the bedroom to dry my feet properly with the hairdryer? It works for me!

Unhygienic and rather naff! Just use a towel which can be washed more easily. The comments about those ghastly toilet roll holders; my friend's Mother had one, it was a plastic doll with a crocheted crinoline and even after all these years I can remember the words of the little piece of paper pinned to her 'frock' Out of paper, don't despair. Turn me over and I'm a spare. Shudder

Oh, thank you for this! I have laughed 'til I cried over the comment on the doll's frock. Shudder indeed!

I am not surprised toilet seat covers are a thing of the past. They are ok if you live on your own and don't have visitors but otherwise they are totally unhygienic.

I do live alone and have bought these on ebay for a couple of pounds, far better than a cold bum at 3am in the winter!

I do hasten to add that if there is anyone visiting I do remove the seat cover before they arrive.

Gosh, I don’t dry my feet ? Dry everywhere else but never between the toes. Have never done it.

Any fabric in bathrooms/loos like seat covers pedestal mats or carpets, definite no-no!! Unhygienic and naff. Use a small guest towel . You can get them online and 2/3 of them will keep your bathroom fresh. It's a shame we don't have bathrooms bifnenough for a cork lidded stool or something! It's a pain having to sit but it comes to us all!....

I cant understand why so many dont dry ther feet, its so important to dry between your toes.I have had a hip replacement and cannot dry one foot I am not allowed to bend down that far yet,I hate not beig able to dry between my toes, I manage as best I can.

I havent had a toilet seat cover for years neither a pedestal mat, they were really very unhygienic.I just have a little mat in front of the hand basin.
A towel on the toilet seat seems a good idea and into the wash after.

Nasty unhygienic things.

I have never sat down to dry my feet, I stand and put each foot up on the side of the bath. I do sit down to.put foot cream on and it's most uncomfortable.

I've never had one and my mother didnt have one either. I can't sit on the loo to dry my feet as its not in the same room as the bath!!
I do put a towelling bathmat on the floor before I bathe or shower so the soles of my feet dry enough on that that I can potter through to the bedroom to finish drying and dressing.

I never liked toilet seat covers or the covers that went on the lid, which from the context I gather you mean.

It surprises me that a modern toilet lid is strong enough to sit on, but if yours is and you want a cover, draw round the open lid on a piece of newspaper, then use the paper as a pattern, adding an inch or inch and a half all the way round .

A piece of towel in a colour of your choice only needs to be hemmed and fitted with elastic to make a cover.

Personally, I would prefer a folding plastic chair to sit on while drying myself or washing my feet.

Get a pair of flip flops, put on bathrobe and walk to bedroom. Feet will be dry in no time.
