~Things people don’t want to know~
Putting a layer of tissue between your butt and the toilet seat doesnt provide enough of a barrier against microorganisms over the time it takes to shit or piss to prevent transmission.
Keeping the air dry reduces both the length of time microorganisms can live outside your body and the length of time that vapor particles can harbor them.
The n95 (and other) rating(s) are over time in free, circulating, open air. Derate safe exposure time sharply for use inside or in spaces with stagnant or unmoving air.
How about TWO layers of tissue? Checkmate, scientists.
Signed, the toilet seat nest-builders of the world.
If you’re able to hold it long enough and you’re truly worried, folding a wet paper towel over a couple of times and using the hand soap to clean the seat and then folding it over again to get a “rinse” before you sit down is a better way to go about it.
“I’m worried about germs on the toilet seat”
“Well, they gave you paper towels, soap and running water, why not clean the motherfucker?”
“Nah, imma just put the thinnest material known to man in between my butt and the seat”
Most public bathroom tissue is exactly one molecule thick.
If you're going to take advice on what to use to protect your butt from a toilet seat, taking advice from bloodfart is the best option.
*Thinnest and yet roughest. Not thick enough to be a barrier, and it can rub you raw to provide an entry point at the same time!
Try a dozen. Public toilet paper is the thinnest substance known to man.
I like to put shiny things in my nest.
