   Yes - toilet paper! For some reason, I was just going with what Karen told me.

   These are all great but you still have to open the door to exit, and thanks to those people that don't wash their hands it will all be in vain.

   most restaurant restroom doors you dont need to turn the handle...they're push doors to get out, and pull doors to get in. so once your hands are squeaky clean you can use your butt to open the door. =]

   I'm sure these scientists are hard at work on the touchless seat.

   I hope these work better than the touchless soap dispensers, water faucets, and paper towel dispensers, all of which make you wave your hands around like Houdini signalling for the immediate and frenzied application of the Heimlich maneuver.

   skh.pcola-

   That was my thought as well; would it kill the manufacturers to clearly label the waving-spot?

   Quickly... file this under "why hadn't someone thought of this already?"

    I can see myself beating the (excuse the expression) crap out of one of these. Having wet hands is one thing, but a wet, well you-know-what?

    One toddler accompanying a mom into the stall could empty the entire thing in a minute or two.

    Same as an ordinary one, Miss Cellania.

    What I don't like is this just puts professional bum-wipers out of work.

    my local coffee shop has had this no touch machine for a while...at least 6 months-it seems to work great-
    also paul,-if you dont want to touch the door handle-use the paper towel to open the door-then throw in trash-niceclean hands:)

    Are people becoming more germaphobic, or is being cautious of germs more acceptable these days? I never used to consider myself squemish about germs but there are some definite things I won't touch willingly.

    For me: Public Restrooms #1 gross place (every part inside. yuck.), motel/hotel rooms #2 (phone, remote, and comforter that rarely get cleaned), grocery stores #3 (Shopping cart handle, checkout pens, and card readers)

    The irony of it all? I love swimming in rivers, and love the outdoors (ticks, biting bugs, etc), and love picking wild fruit and nibbling them straight from the vine (mmm blackberries!) So natural germs don't bother me. Dunno why.
    The germs of "possibly sick" strangers though? eeeeek.
