I was surprised to find out that some people I know do not use this thing the way I do (and no matter how they make their case, they are wrong). Which position do you use?

A


or


B

Duh, A. The big end goes towards the back (where my butt/drop-zone is) to allow the largest open area possible for dumpage. That's also the way the actual toilet seat is built, so it fits that way.

I use A.
I believe that's the way the instructions suggests.

U serious? I do B ... i need the flap to poop on to prevent splash-back. the shape suggests this to me

I was shocked to find out my dad uses A, but the rest of my family does B

Here's a slightly more clear diagram of how I do it (this is serious business):

i've always done B, but i hate when the dumpage rolls on the flap hanging in the water, so i end up never using them

i am totally going to try A

Don't give up the day job!

BTW You guys'd freak if ever you came over to the UK . . . it's generally a case aof commando or hold it in . . .

LoL! Splash back? That's usually not a problem for me, projectile dooks aren't a normal thing for me I guess. Due to Pickles fore-mentioned "dumpage rolls on the flap" is another reason I DON'T do B. I need the widest drop-zone possible.

I tear the flap off too, gets me all paranoid. With it dangling in the water below I'm OCD that the water will absorb all the way up and get me wet with toilet water.

BTW, best poll in ages.

that's so you don't get splashback. you need the flap in the water.. so when you flush, it sucks it in

B is the right way.

I travel a lot for work so I'll give you my tips. I don't use just one gasket I use 5 or 6 because I'm a germaphobe. And I tear off the flaps.

This is all you need to know.

you guys are that scared of other people's bums? jesus

is this cos you think you'll get aids from people's poop?

If you worked with the people I've worked with, you would too.

my wife works in an aids clinic, i'm not afraid of aids. i'm affraid of staph infection. did the guy/gal before you have a pimple on his/her ass? been in the hospital lately? caution is not always unwarranted.

Probably because my toilet at home is so clean and sanitary, the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump. And yes, I'm that scared of other's people's asses. Ever go to Japan? They do it right.

seriously...the bathroom here at work is to be avoided at all costs.

You can get certain STDs from a toilet seat if your genitals touch an infected area shortly after it has been infected. What's worse, a wet bum or scabs on your tube? Diagram A all the way.

If you really want to be safe, learn the hover technique. If you've ever been camping then you've got a head start on training...



Man, if you've ever been to the shitter in NYC Port Authority you wouldn't even have to ask. Once I went into a stall and saw a needle on the floor with traces of blood everywhere. In another stall, someone was kind enough to take a huge dump ON the toilet seat. People crack me up!

I always thought those were bibs in case you wanted to eat a sandwich on the can or something

LOL.

I heard somewhere that an ass gasket doesn't even protect you from anything. anyways, i need it in public bathrooms whatever it does... and if there are none, then i use about half the roll to pad the seat.

and with splashback... i get paranoid about it (hey, not all my turds are long.. it's physics). so even if it is my own seat at home, I have to wipe the seat and drop some paper in the bowl so i poop on it so i get no splash.

For me it's not really germs as it is hair and sweat. More tangible nasties. Yeah, I whipe the seat down real fast, but still I might have missed something so I cover it up.

I'm totally not a germaphobe, if I was I probably wouldn't use the public cans at all.

How the hell did we get on this subject? But I'm not saying it's not important stuff.

You can just lay down some toilet paper on the surface of the water to eliminate splashback

or you can just poop in your hand and gently lay it down in the water, I don't do this, just a suggestion for a way around the splashback

lol!

Anyone bold enough to poop in their hand isn't going to lay it in the water...they're going to hurl it at spectators like a monkey would.
