Yes, lesleyanne , your top photo shows the toilets that should be flushed with your foot. All the hand flushers are upset to get my dirty shoe germs off the handle but really should be worried about escaping the poo plume. And, for kids that aren't big enough to foot flush....I foot flush for mine!

This topic always ends up going sideways. I don't care how anyone else flushes a toilet. I foot flush the ones designed for foot flushing and toggle the handle on those with a tank. Public toilets have no lids so foot flushing is cleaner and easier. But do it however you want, makes no difference to me.

And I still don't see how foot flushing doesn't have your face right by the toilet anyway. If it sprays nine feet like some say you are still in the plume.

I'm just saying a little compassion for all would go a long way. I don't see how anyone can think that is meant to be foot flushed. That is all.

Maybe not lack of compassion, but definitely a lack of consideration.

Toilets actually meant to be foot flushed. Just for the record.

I just grab some tissue to touch the handle because I'm paranoid my shoe might fly off into the toilet. There's no way in hell my bare hand will touch that handle. Think of women changing tampons or getting pee on their hands then touching that.

That is what I don't get. Why is touching a handle that someone's shoe touched so much worse and more disgusting than the bodily fluids that are on the hands of people who flush with their hand?
Pretty much everything about public bathrooms are nasty. I just make sure I very thoroughly wash my hands and try not to think about it since they are a necessary evil.

The automatic flushers - I do like these, but somehow it always seems to flush before I'm done. That's gross For those that are foot flushers (because the handle is too gross to touch, and you prefer the fecal plume on your shoes/legs) - do you wear your shoes in your house? Sorry, couldn't resist bringing in another topic that is near to my heart For the record, I'm a 'regular' flusher, only because I've never thought about doing it differently. And I'm a bit clumsy - lifting my foot that high would probably throw me off balance, I'd bounce around the stall, drop my purse on the floor and accidentally set my foot down in the toilet.

Why not just use toilet paper to protect your hand, then wash your hands well with soap and warm water. I don't get worrying about what the person before you did, as long as it is flushed.

Regarding the spray... for those of you who keep your facial tissue box on the back of your toilet, please move it, please. Remember that thread?
I've not only taught my girls to foot flush, I've taught them to squat. Let's fight about sitting vs squatting now.

I honestly don't care if someone squats. As long as they don't leave their pee sprinkled all over the seat for me to have to wipe up before I can sit down.

OR
If you can't aim and squat anyway - clean your piss off the seat. Don't tell me you don't see that before you leave the stall!

OK, perhaps that was a poor choice of words.

I am old, so if I tried foot flushing, my poor old leg would probably be stuck up in the air forever!

This thread reminded me of something I saw this weekend. We were in our local grocery store on Saturday and I had to use the restroom. Normally I don't use grocery store restrooms, but it was an emergency. Anyway, there was a sign in the stall talking about the new fangled flushing system to reduce water waste. Lift the handle up for #1 (liquid waste) and press the handle down for #2 (solid waste)... that was what it said exactly. Anyway, under that, there was a note that said something like handle has been treated to fight germs and sure enough there was some kind of green cover on the handle. As soon as I saw that sign, I immediately thought of the Peas...

And I still don't see how foot flushing doesn't have your face right by the toilet anyway. If it sprays nine feet like some say you are still in the plume. Because when you foot flush you stand upright. Your head is at full height. You stand by the door of the stall, as far as you can physically get from the toilet and still be in the stall. Then you lift your foot up a little, flush with your toe and get out of the stall.

Foot or hand flushing is not needed with the new public toilets appearing in the UK - instead of a lever to operate there is just an electronic sensor positioned nearby, inset in the tiles, and one has to wave a hand across it for it to operate the water flush. Foot flushing would be impossible with that system!

I find it hard to believe that standing at full height you are 9 feet away from the plume. How do you deal with having to touch things like cash or gas pumps?

Everyone is supposed to flush, but only the tall and nimble can escape.... the poo plume. I'm only 5 foot 3 inches and I'm 54 (not quite a youngster). I have no problem foot flushing. I don't agree it's only for tall, young or nimble people. I don't find foot flushing gross. I'm a foot flusher and will continue to be when I can. What's gross is leaving pee sprinkled on the seat when you're done and not wiping it away. I can't tell you the number of times I've come into a bathroom and the seat is left in this condition. I thinking about making some signs that say, "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie" and leaving them in those stalls. Sorry, slight highjack. Just annoys the crap out of me-yes that was intentional. Debbie in MD.

How do you deal with having to touch things like cash or gas pumps? For the 556th time in this debate, it is NOT about touching things with your hand. I do not care about touching things with my hand. I can wash my hands anytime. No, sadly you cannot get a full 9 ft away. The point is the be as far away as physically possible.
