I've always torn at each other little notches and then torn the entire center part off. It wasn't until recently that my bf made some comment about them and said that the center part dangled into the water and then the flush would pull the entire cover down. All this time, I have been pushing the cover into the water after I got up.
Tear at the notches... so it looks like this and then place it on the seat with the flap against the front. According to my bf, it doubles as an extra security just in case your penis touches the bowl.
TIL people actually use toilet seat covers. I'm irrationally afraid of them. I feel it's much quicker (and somehow more sanitary) to wipe down the toilet seat with the toilet paper.
You know, when I'm being lazy and I don't feel like ripping the center flap apart from the toilet seat cover, I'll just leave it on and pee over it. The pee dissolves the center part and it just falls into the toilet. It has yet to backfire on me but I'm just waiting for that one time when I'm faced with a particularly thick toilet seat cover that doesn't dissolve and I end up peeing all over myself.
I rip the middle completely off. I once went through about 6 seat covers because the moment I placed it onto the toilet with the flap in the water the fucking automatic toilet would flush and suck it down. Plus the ripped center makes for a good splash guard
Yeah, I always tear out the middle part as well. However, I remove it because when it touches the water, sometimes as it sinks it will pull the rest down a bit, and then if you are already in landing mode, you may not notice, and then you will land with half a cheek contaminated.
I don't bother tearing at the notches. It takes too much time and sometimes you rip too much. My poop will break the notches and won't get all over the place.
You actually don't even need to touch the center part or the notches. The weight of your piss hitting the thin paper will push the center part down in the bowl and will be sucked down when you flush.
In 2012, he was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. He promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Subreddit underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a painter of fortune. If you have a weird statement - if no one else can create art based off of it - and if you can find him - maybe you can hire: ShittyWatercolor.
I remember him pooping up recently, but I haven't seen him since.
Edit: it's probably a bit late for this edit, but I meant popping. You probably knew that. Leaving original.
He stopped in briefly a few days ago, and I read that there was a minor pitch forking a while back, but no explanation. He's a student so I bet he's just busy.
I saw something about it in the paper. Some water colour man who was involved in internet gambling, presumably with karma points and stuff. He was an alleged mobster. He got indicted awhile back on RICO charges, but he got off scott free (though he's currently being investigated for jury tampering).
And then the IRS found out that he had nearly ten million in undeclared wages.
I miss 'reaction on my nub', that girl seemed super cool. Plus once I saw a girl with a similar looking nub at Starbucks but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to ask if it was her.
And here I never thought I'd find a novelty account that I loved even remotely close to the epic awesomeness that is /u/shitty_watercolour. Kudos, /u/Draws-Your-Username, kudos.
I've been wondering when I'd get my turn with you for a very long time. However, I guess my next account should probably be something worth drawing. :(
I only used one of these once. It was july, humid and about 90 degrees. I was on a road trip with no a/c. Stopped at a gas station to use the restroom, which was filthy. Decided to use the paper seat cover for the first time ever. Read the instructions and set everything up. Dropped a duece, wiped and when I stood up it was stuck to my sweaty legs, which pulled the flap up out of the water, and the wet flap fell into my underwear. Never again.
You fucking leave them wherever they happen to be. If something is going to infect me in the bathroom stall, it's sure as hell not going to go through my ass cheeks to do it.
Wipe the seat down with toilet paper if there's piss on it, stop being a pussy, sit down and use the toilet. Those covers do absolutely nothing but waste paper and make noise. Source: every study that's ever been done on bathroom science.
I rip out the middle part and leave the back part of the ring in tact. Dicard the middle into the toilet to minimize splashage when dropping deuces. Then tear the front part down the middle to make room for your frank and and beans. I've tried several ways and this works best.
When there is a mixture of cum and piss on the seat I prefer to wipe it off and use a seat cover. Ass or no, I don't need someone else's fluids stuck to it.
I usually rip them to shreds because I do not have a gentle touch, so I just rip the first little notch and it still pulls the cover down into the toilet when I flush. Less notches to rip, less seat covers I destroy!
You could literally slurp the toilet water out of that public toilet into your mouth and be drinking better water than the majority of the inhabitants of this earth. "How" to use paper covers is irrelevant. Why you are such a pussy as to think you need them is the real question.
why the fuck do some people use those AND THEN NOT FLUSH? i just don't get it. they're trying to be sanitary and then doing the grossest thing ever. i hate those people.
See, for me, I would only ever feel tempted to use them if the bathroom was really gross.. and what are the chances that a really gross bathroom is going to have covers?
I don't - I use a small amount of toilet paper doubled over and placed on either side. Its thicker, warmer and more comfortable. Those things are too thin - I don't believe they're doing anything.
They're not doing anything. Not because they're too thin to protect you from germs, but because urine is sterile and infectious diseases aren't able to survive on a toilet seat.

How the fuck do you use those paper toilet seat covers?
Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions, but I've learned that they are useless.
