Another exam table paper question

Firstly apologies if this has been asked before!

I've just come back from a couple of weeks in the USA, and noticed that a lot of public restrooms were provided with paper toilet seat covers. Is the paper type used the same sort of 'crinkly' paper used for exam tables too?

Thanks!

Similar. The seat covers are thinner because they don't have to deal with a flexible table top and need to be able to be flushed

My read is that they are similarly useless as well. Sweat goes through fast, and really what is the risk from a not-visibly-dirty toilet seat? If people are really concerned then we should go to squat toilets, right?

You're probably right. But they do make me at least feel better when I do use a public toilet. I suppose if you had a big gaping wound on your ass, you might worry about catching something when you sit down.

In certain parts of the country they have seat covers in every bathroom, like Southern California, where I have lived most of my life. Here in Western Kentucky, there aren't any hardly anywhere! I hate public restrooms to begin with. Most McDonald's, Walmartgas stations and other restrooms are really nasty. I would rather hold for hours and hours than to use a public restroom back home. Here, there still are some nasty bathrooms, but not near as bad as home. You can't even find seat covers at the hospitals or doctors offices. It's a good thing I can hover over the toilets!! It's very rare for me to actually sit on a bare public toilet. If I do I say lots of prayers that I don't catch anything! Yes, I am somewhat germaphobic, but I have been working to overcome it!

Thanks all; I did wonder if it was the same type, but it did seem a little on the thin side.

It was a bit odd to see the first time - we don't have such things in the UK!

No a bit diffrent exam table paper and toliet covers very diffrent
