Is it true other countries don't use toilet seat covers?

[purplepoppy]

I couldn't imagine sitting on a bare plastic seat but I've heard in some countries they do. Here in the UK we all cover the seats as in the pictures so we've a nice warm surface for our bottoms. Even the public toilets have covers on them here.

So is it a case of other countries being warmer or are they just less developed?

[Rosexøxø]

That’s literally a breeding ground for bacteria 🧫.

I like the look of it, and I seen my family had one before, somehow, but we never used it. I wanted to and I simply hesitated. It’s not practical.

I would say the advanced countries are the ones with the washing sprays, and the automatic lasers on the seats, to disinfect. There’s some, kind of like these, in America and industrial cities and countries like: Dubai or Tokyo.

America should really have those nationwide, and it should be for optional use, worldwide.

Other than the cloths and toilet paper, which don’t really disinfect, but just wipe up the large portions of the waste, and still leave the expected residue- even if microscopic.

In China indoor toilets have toilet covers but public toilets are usually stand up toilets where you are expected to poop standing up into a toilet that is attached to the ground and not one that is seated on like a chair. I had difficulty using those and would usually talk to the bosses when I visited new places to get the accommodation of using a seated toilet which they sometimes had for disabled people. I told them I was a tourist and did not know how to use the normal public toilets where you stand while pooping.

LMAO! WTF? I've never seen that anywhere. In America our seats are porcelin. Um... I thought the whole world sits on bare seat. In America, EVERYONE sits in bare seat, even in porto potty, so I thought it was just my mom who's germaphobic. We have seat protectors though, which is basically tracing paper, but it's enough to protect from AIDS. I always just squat. If I HAVE to sit, I place a shit ton of toilet paper and am careful that my dick doesn't touch.
I heard in Japan they put some kind of padding that has heat, but aside from that and my mom's family, I thought the rest of the world puts their ass on bare toilet.

[Jaximus-Lion]

I went from these

To these

And it's huge upgrade for, it's enough :D

[D_Bone_Steak]

You're not beating the Japanese toilets that have heated seats, a temperature-controlled jet of water to wash off your anus and/or vagina, and it will blow dry your ass.

Here in America these animals still wipe with paper. I use baby wipes but miss the Japanese toilets.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I could never! All I'll think about is how many droplets of pee that fabric has caught when my boyfriend and my roommate use the bathroom. Not to mention sweat and all. Bacteria! Never! My toilet has Lysol wipes next to it. Wipe the seat every day

[lalaloveee]

As a Siberian, I would rather have ass hypertomy by sitting on an ice-cold toilet in -20 degrees Siberia than sitting in this bacteria nect.

The British are weird, if you're really using this covers, you must have using milk for the siphon instead of water.

[bean2k21]

There are clearly some undertones that are getting lost in translation here. Is this a Russian insult to say that someone would shit in milk?

[NathanDavis]

GOOD LORD AND ALL HEAVENS!!

[Revvl6pro]

That is the best TV series of all time. I'm sad that Jim died. Did you know his daughter was on the show?

[NathanDavis]

@Revvl6pro which TV show is this from?

[Revvl6pro]

The "Trailer Park Boys."
It's the funniest show in the history of TV.

[NathanDavis]

@Revvl6pro I'll check it out sometime

In the US, some people use decorative lid covers, but i’ve never seen a decorative seat cover. We do have “sanitary” seat covers, but they’re more for peace of mind than actual sanitation.

[AviatorTom]

In the US, it's hard plastic, or occasionally a plastic cushion, but no seat covers.

[Reece12345]

Oh, over here this side of the pond we have toilet seat curtains too. They go all around the toilet.

But no bidets!

[worldscolide]

Considering they are a magnet for all kinds of bacteria.. I don't personally use them. And to answer your question, they are used here in the states just not very common.

[EmmaMary]

@purplepoppy

Poppy darling, it's not April 1st just yet! 😂

[Red-Blaze]

Why... what.. who...
Hard plastic here, easier to clean and got some degin to it (by me sea trapped in transparent plastic is really nice)
The covers just look like a germs center to me 😅

[Adam1978]

Well the old Chinese toaletts are just holes in the floor so no covers there. I wouldn't have any clothes near the toaletts. It's either a lot of unecissary cleaning or unsanitary.

[jimmy2]

I went to India here s pic of their toilet. a whole in the floor

[mstbooblover]

Beautiful style, no doubt, but what for? By the way, my toilet seat is made of plain wood. I can't imagine covering that seat...

[Mangospacho]

Honestly using a cover seems awkward. It seems too fancy to furnish your bum and I would probably hesitate to even sit on it much less actually use the toilet for its intended purpose.

[dustybiker]

That must be a considered a health hazard somewhere.

Once you go Japanese you never go back.

Some people in the US use them; but only in private homes. Most public restrooms are lacking in basic amenities. I feel lucky when there is a divider between the toilets.

[Pink2000]

That’s so nasty. What if someone has explosive diarrhea.

[exitseven]

I have seen seat covers made from shag carpet. It must get gross after a while

[LiamJHayden]

I don't. But I do alcohol wipe the seat before and after I use it, and I do have a bidet in each bathroom.

[Samantha_17]

Disposable paper covers are ok to use. Not these as the bacteria will cover all of it in a few hours.

[AmeerX]

I find the plastic or the ceramic better then this. I feel you can't clean this easy enough

[Farmerboy2]

That’s disgusting! I’d never use that. I could just imagine what is found in that fabric omg 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[AngryCarl]

Some countries don't use toilets. Those are called shithole countries.

[Anonymous]

Ohh , I thought you are using that cloth for wiping as paper. lol

[cheetocandle]

My granny had one lol

[CoolCatMar1]

Here in Greece no one i know uses it.

[Charliefretz329]

Eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww 🤮

[TallAnon]

Fuck no, that's like a shit catcher 😂

[Anonymous]

Is that right, Ms Troll :-)

[Figurine89]
