Assgaskets -- Who uses them? - now with poll

Page 3 - Seeking answers? Join the AnandTech community: where nearly half-a-million members share solutions and discuss the latest tech.
Every time your naked butt hits the bare seat, you are rubbing butts with everyone else who has used the seat.


Regardless of their actual practicality, assgaskets provide me with peace of mind.

I've always wondered how effective ass gaskets are against butt fungus. I mean, they are awfully thin...

I remember seeing something on this on that Penn & Teller show Bull Sh!t, they had some doctors on there basically saying it does nothing at all to protect the ass and that whoever invented it was a complete genius playing off of peoples fears, but in fact toilet seats are hardly ever covered with any threating disease of any sorts.

Yeah, and I bet the limey in the next stall was wondering WTF you're doing in there... 😀

I've never used them, even when available. And you know what? I don't care. On top of that, I've never gotten sick after using a restroom. Whenever I go to the doctor, I've always been pronounced "unusually healthy."
Most doctors call that "priapism". :laugh:
I had to look that one up. Greaaaat! :roll:😉
Sorry, I've almost used up my Strategic Funny Reserves for today. 😱

You had to release the SFR to keep crude Funny prices down? Bowing to press pressure, I see.

Yeah, that micron thickness of paper is a lifesaver... :roll:

That's true. If it looks suspect, I'd grab some toilet paper, pour liquid soap on it, and wipe the seat. You gotta nuke those suckers.
 
I use them whever they're provided. I'm thinking about buying a travel pack to put in my purse. I've noticed that since moving to Virginia, most places over here don't provide them. Almost everywhere in California provides them, so there was no need to buy any.

I'm always afraid of peeing on them and the urine creeping up the paper. Or i dont make it through the hole on the back end. The whole the assgaskets provide always seem to be smaller than the toilet ring itself.
 
This reminds of that Howie Mandel skit on these? Since they were protection, he didn't need security guards....guess you had to see the skit...
