To hover, or to cover? Let’s investigate.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. But is that thin toilet-seat-shaped sheet of paper enough to protect you from whatever lurks on the seat itself? We hate to break it to you, using that cover or toilet paper is a complete waste of time and paper.
Let’s start by looking at the toilet itself. Do you dare to use toilet paper and wipe it on your face? If not, why? Ah ha! So, you know the truth!
What about your butt? More specifically, the skin on your butt which, like the rest of your skin, is designed as an excellent barrier against microorganisms. This means that even if disease-causing bacteria like E. coli were lingering on the toilet seat, it’s highly unlikely they’ll find a way to enter your body so long as you don’t have an open sore or cut on your butt cheek (if you do have an open sore on your butt cheek, we recommend visiting the doctor).
