You probably hear most parents talk about how grateful they are when their child is potty trained. I agree it can be very liberating to not have to worry about changing diapers but that liberation does not bring joy to this gemophobe’s life when they need to use a public potty. I myself have a huge problem with public bathrooms and it has to be an absolute emergency for me to use one. They disgust me and with the number of people who use them and are disgusted themselves, that they squat and hover in their attempt not to touch it, they are very wet and very messy. A small child does not understand or have the coordination for these actions and so this can make a public outing less than desireable. Also with baseball, softball and t-ball in full swing we are out at the ball field at least 2 times a week where the only choice for kids is the lovely green port a potty. Just the thought makes me dry heave, boys are easier because they can stand for at least the more frequent reason for a trip to the potty. Girls are a bit trickier and I can remember holding my nearly 2-year-old daughter up over the seat of a public toilet and trying to get her to pee. Not fun to say the least.
I do appreciate the toilet seat covers that some restrooms have but as we know there just are so many that do not have them and even when they do they do not cover the front or sides of the toilet and we know little ones put their hands everywhere. Also, they are not waterproof and so no protection from the wet mess left by the squatters.
I was asked to do a review for Potty Cover. Potty Cover is a disposable toilet seat cover that covers the seat, sides and front of the toilet to keep germs and wetness away from your child. These covers must have been invented by a fellow member of the germophobe club. I know just the thought of having them with me, makes a day out with my kids much more enjoyable. Potty Cover is the largest cover among similar products on the market. With Potty Cover you truly are covered for any restroom experience even the dreaded gas station stop.

the bathrooms at the beach are the WORST.
I don’t usually use public bathrooms and when I do I try not to look too hard at them b/c then I won’t use them
Starbucks’ bathrooms are generally really nice and clean. Oh and so is the family bathroom at our local library!
Gas stations are filthy
I find Chick-Fil-A’s bathroom is generally cleaner than most public restrooms
Port-a-pots at the park… Ick!!
The dirtiest are at convenience stores! The cleanest I’ve seen are usually at Chick-fil-A!
Gas station restrooms are the worst!
Gas station bathrooms are disgusting!
Dirtiest: Sandwich shops such as Togos & Quiznos.
Cleanest: Airports.
Gas stations and beaches have the dirtiest bathrooms!!
Nice resturants, malls and theme parks seem to have clean bathrooms
Cleanest public restrooms are in the airport for sure and although the hospital is a very germy place the bathrooms are usually pretty clean.
Gas station bathrooms. I think I have a phobia of them! lol
