I have another issue with public restrooms though and that has to do with my claustrophobia. I can handle the stall variety, but I loathe the type of restroom where it's just one room with no windows. I find it almost impossible to use those unless they have a lock with a bolt that I can slide across. I hate those locks that you have to turn and or the ones that you push in. I'm always afraid they will break and I'll get locked in for hours. So I don't lock the door. Typically I will ask someone to stand outside to make sure no one comes in. Otherwise I'll do the fastest pee possible. Or I'll just hold it and try and find another restroom!!

The other thing that occurs to me is that you could buy some disposable latex gloves (the thin ones that people use in hospital). And you could use those gloves when you use the restroom. Now I don't know if I'm "enabling" you by suggesting that though!!!

Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I do understand!! And I wish you good luck!
xD lol thanks for the advice on the latex gloves! I've never thought of that! You saying that reminded me of this product I saw on the internet one day. I was researching ways on how to safely use a public restroom and came across this Russian product (at least I think it was Russian...I don't remember lol). Anyway, it was basically a cup that is made for females to use the bathroom. They place it over their private area and the urine travels down a tube that leaks into the toilet. It's basically a personal penis for a female lol. It allows women to use the bathroom without having to actually sit on the toilet. I was looking around and thought, 'Wow! That would really come in handy!' They are disposable of course. I wish I could remember the name of them...Anyway, I thought that was pretty funny/cool!
