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

Or hovering!

LyWa

I’m sorry that as a new poster you don’t feel very welcome, and that GN is judgemental.

I can think of several topics, tea towels, bath mats, toilet brushes, outdoor shoes being kept on indoors, sell by dates on food, plug holes in showers to name a few, where I am left thinking my standards are not as high as other members. It sometimes seems a case of ‘one up-manship, my house is cleaner than yours’.

I don’t have a cover on my loo, so can’t advise, but I do have a mat near the shower and basin to feel warmer than cold tiles. Washed regularly, but obviously a bit naff nowadays.

Callistemon I was thinking of tie on candlewick rather than disposable paper.

I like to have a mat handy for the shower room in case the floor is wet, and worse, has been washed with bleach--death to dark trousers.

Once a woman came to buy a caravan at my place and needed to use the toilet. It had just been washed and I was glad I had a mat handy to lay on the floor.

I have to confess that I don’t dry between my toes and have never had any problems with athletes’ foot or similar. It’s probably helped by the fact that I go barefoot indoors all the time,,and very seldom wear socks even outdoors in winter. My feet get a good airing all year round!?

I much prefare to sit on a little shower stool bought specially from the disability store to get dried afterwards, the height is easily adustable, it has handles to hold onto, and the seat has a textured surface which is non slip and easily wiped. No more sitting on unhygienic surfaces!

Re cold tiles underfoot in bathroom/shower room. - When I had my en-sute installed at my house, the builders did a wonderful job, high standard - which included putting on the floor those ceramic tiles which are so very, very cold during the winter.
I detested them, and needed to keep a pair of easy slip-on slippers by the door to wear each time I needed to go into the loo during the night in colder weather.

Much prefer having a laminate put down in these places and this is what I have now in both bathroom and my en-suite - and that does not feel so cold underfoot, is just as easy (perhaps easier as it is all in one piece) to keep clean.

Hi*lywa*, I have just received the damart catalogue through the post and there are bathroom sets available. Mat, pedestal mat and toilet seat covers in various colours

Like all the women in my family, I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, so cannot stand for long. After my shower (mostly
sitting) I wrap myself in two thin bath sheets and then sit on the closed loo seat.

Actually Callistemon that info could be useful. I hate using public loos but sometimes needs must Having a couple of these in my bag sounds good.

Yes, crouching is not always possible, nadateturbe!

I may order some for when I venture further afield.

My gynecologist has dispenser that automatically changes the disposable toilet seat cover to stop the spread of germs. I think I have seen them in hotels also.

No I don’t like them, never see them nowadays, and doubt if they are made any more
Never had a problem after my daily shower I just step out onto a washable towel mat, walk to the bedroom and by the time
I ve pottered around to get my clothes out I m more or less dry In the winter I just wrap a towel around me I ve never ‘dried me’ as in rubbing my body? always drip dry
I also never had a problem using public loos my Nan used to put toilet paper on them when I was a child ? but that didn’t stay with me have used thousands over the years without ‘toilet paper seats’ never think about it
