You do your best to protect your family from germs and bacteria. You clean and sanitize your bathroom to keep your family from catching anything. What do you do when you go out to the mall for instance and someone has to use the public toilet? Maybe us adults can work around it, but what about your children. With this in mind, you should think about using disposable toilet seat covers for toddlers.
Pretty obvious why you should, isn’t it? You can try to wipe down a public seat using a piece of wet toilet paper and using your foot to clean the seat. But are you really getting it clean?
Let’s face it; we all dread having to sit on a public toilet seat, thinking about who was there previously. And it’s even worse when you child has to use the toilet in public. For the most part they are gross and unsanitary.
Yes, we have all tied to lay the toilet paper around the seat, layering it up. And usually when your child goes to sit on it, the paper moves and now your child is touching the seat. Pretty gross, eh?
Why do this to yourself when there is a simple solution? By getting some disposable toilet seat covers to carry with you, you will eliminate the stress of using a public toilet.
What you want to look for in purchase seat covers is ones that have a moisture barrier. Moisture is the principal agent of carrying germs and bacteria. There are many disposable toilet seat covers that are manufactured that way.
The best ones I have found are ones that are moisture resistant and have sticky tabs. These tabs are on the seat cover and will stick to the toilet seat. No need to worry about the cover falling of the seat and your child having to touch the exposed seat. After use, they are easily removed and disposed of.
To make it fun for your kids, you can find disposable toilet seat covers for toddlers that come with carton characters like the gang from Sesame Street. This can take the stress away from your toddler by having familiar faces with them when they need to go potty in public.
