Paper toilet seat covers? What do they do, exactly?

Question: You know those paper toilet seat covers you see in public rest rooms sometimes (I call them "*** gaskets"). What do they really protect us from? I have also nocticed in my travels that they are in almost all California bathrooms but in very few bathrooms on the East Coast. Are there regional differences in our backsides and hygiene?

Answers:
According to the Berkeley Wellness letter, they don't do much. If there's moisture on the seat, you should wipe it off. The toilet seat covers are more a psychological thing, unless you have broken skin. After all, look ar the quality of the paper used. You probably get more germs on your hands trying to get the things situated. They make effective Pilgrim collars at work, though.

Those paper toilet seat covers were devised as a protective barrier between the human the seats surface. I don't know why more places don't provide them as a courtesy to their customers in the bathrooms. And I guess the west coast just seems either more conerned or aware.

The East Coast had too many complaints. They fell to the floor and stuck to peoples shoes. Too much embarassment.

Same thing with toilet paper, dragging out from the restroom. They don't know what to do about it yet, but it's being discussed all the way to Washington.
Heard Kennedy talking about it on C-Span.

The purpose of toilet seat covers is to break the fall of your waste, whether #1 or#2). When it hits that little flap, it breaks the fall, thus preventing the toilet water from splashing up on your butt. I think in California they care more about their body because they are allowed to show if off more with all that pretty weather. They try to really protect it. If the water splashes up on their butt, it will wash off the sunscreen thus causing you to see the splash marks when they lay out in the sun on the beach.
