Joy Behar is perplexed and furious, and she wants some answers. Someone has been hover pissing in the ladies room at The View, leaving pee all over the toilet seats, and Joy wants to know who would do such a thing? Joy says it always seems to happen when a supermodel visits the show. Yesterday, she asked guest Heidi Klum to explain, “Heidi, what is the reason for that?” prompting Heidi to ask, “Was it Gisele (Bundchen)?” Joy responded with a sly smile and said, “I’m not gonna name names.” Heidi then went on to explain that she’s a hover pisser too, but tries her best to make sure all the pee goes in the toilet.
Please, when will this madness end? I don’t blame Joy Behar for asking this often unsaid question. Women have remained quiet about this for too long, and it’s time we stood up for what’s right in the bathroom stall. I’m waging a personal war against hover pissing too and I can totally relate to Joy’s disappointment at seeing dirty toilet seats. Way to go Joy Behar, you are my new homegirl. Represent.

Honestly, I am a convinced “hoover pisser” and this for a very good reason. Because once I got myself a very mean infection in an area I don’t wanna describe here, because of sitting down. My Doc warned me to do this because of the “source of infection” he called the seat. THIS is what made me hoover… It was one of the most disgusting experiences EVER!!!
I have never heard that you can get an infection from a toilet seat, though, I thought that was an urban legend! Also, I kind of sit half-on half-off the toilet seat if it looks unclean. I rarely have this problem in Switzerland and Germany though, because the bathrooms are so freaking clean! They have people at all the rest stops and you are supposed to tip them.
I don’t always hover, I use my judgement based on the bathroom but if i do and i accidently make a mess i get a lot of toilet paper and wipe the seat after myself. Its just the nice thing to do.
I agree with AC. I think if you must hover piss, the least you can do is wipe the seat if you have splashed all over it. It’s not nice to leave a mess and make someone else clean that.
Or maybe just lift the toilet seat before you hover. That’s what guys do when they pee standing up.
It’s not hover pissers that are the problem, it’s hover pissers without the common human decency and consideration to wipe up their messes afterwards.
I just use a few layers of those toilet seat covers if they have them, and cover the toilet seat with toilet paper if they don’t.
I hope the convinced hover pissers of the world will reconsider their stance. When you squat over the toilet seat, the muscles of your pelvic floor (Kegel muscles) can’t fully relax while your thigh muscles are contracting and you end up with a small amount of urine loitering in your bladder. This incomplete voiding is a perfect set up for getting a bladder infection.
I can’t imagine how one would have to grind on a toilet seat to get an infection. Those parts aren’t supposed to touch the seat for the whole going-in-the-toilet process to work.
Good luck with that!
Louise, wow I did not know that about hover pissing. I guess I can jump to the unfounded conclusion that Giselle Bundchen suffers from frequent bladder infections.
Also – I think it’s funny as hell that the high paid hosts of “The View” have to deal with messy bathrooms. They get it cleaned like once a day probably.
this is funny but they have done so many tests and they all turn out the the toilet seat is unusually clean. think about it…if you do sit its really your upper thighs that touch it. this is why a lot of places (such as target) dont supply toilet seat covers anymore because they are an unnecessary expense. hovering drives me crazy!
pissing on the toilet seat and leaving it there is just disgusting..i cant believe even women do this it’s gross..
wouldn’t you rather hover and then politely clean up anything you left on the seat, or would you rather subject yourself to a stranger’s butt germs?
They’ve done studies that a public toilet seat is usually cleaner than most other surfaces (your desk at work being the germiest). Public toilets are disenfected every day. Most people don’t even clean their home toilets that much. They say it is very unlikely to get a disease from a toilet seat. If I were Sarah I’d find a new doctor.
