How is it any more sanitary when the damn thing triggers the auto-flush just by reaching for the toilet paper? Done got my balls wet with toilet water now...
I'd much rather just have manual flush, or at least give me a minute delay so I can wipe my ass first without getting my junk wet.
No hand contact is why it's more sanitary. And what sort of toilet do you use that sprays your balls? The ones I've used haven't triggered when I've reached for the toilet paper either. (When still sitting down)
AquaVantage with Zurn wall mounted sensors. The water pressure itself is what ends up splashing the water all around and up to my junk. You gotta be quick to get up off these things to avoid getting your ass wet.
That sounds more like a bad design than a flaw with all auto flush toilets.
Of course, can't say I've shat in every brand out there. But this seems to be a common issue in my area with basically all toilets made by AquaVantage/Zurn..
