Ah, the ubiquitous Ass-Gasket. In the US this luxury is given away by the government and corporate entities in vast quantities in public restrooms. It is right there on the stall wall, along with a giant roll of single ply tissue or sandpaper.
It is a nice convenience in the "Public" convenience, an d gives you the illusion of cleanliness and safety from getting anything icky on you when doing one's business on the porcelain throne.
Let's examine the statement of illusion. The illusion is that a simple very thin piece of white paper is going to protect you from human body excreta, Virus, bacteria, and all manner of creepy-crawlies hanging out on that smooth, hard dry impermeable surface.
The facts are that very little in the way of biological life can survive on the seat, and your skin, if in good health, can defeat all of them as it is designed to be a barrier against everything outside of the human body.
Hand washing is really the key to keeping it clean in the loo. And if there is something on the seat when you walk in, a quick scrub with a wad of TP will do far more to remove anything unwanted. It is the absorption of liquid and the mechanical scrubbing action that removes any unwanted bio-matter, not placing a thin layer of paper over the top.
In review,
1. WASH YOUR HANDS, use soap and scrub your hands together under streaming water for at least that count of 15.
2. Don't hover over the seat, you just make a disgusting mess.
3. you don't really need an ass-gasket, just wipe the seat down, it is way more effective for any microbiological life removal.
4. WASH YOUR HANDS!
Thanks for coming along!
