iPad It is against medical advice to take iPad to toilet

[Simacca]

The warning is nothing new in the least. Doctors have been warning about this for decades albeit for newspapers and magazines.

First time I've heard this. As I said before, it makes sense in theory, but hasn't made any difference to me over the years.

It's spelt haemorrhoids in the uk.

And everywhere else in the world that speaks English with the exception of the USA.

I would like to propose a new forum section called "Funniest Thread of the Week". This one could be the first

Information and education is good anywhere and any time. If more people read when the get a chance, or watch the news on their pads when they get a chance, then we wouldn't have so many stupid people in this world. Just ask Jonathan Gruber as to how stupid the american tax payers are.

Here I sit, broken hearted. Came with my iPad, and only...

I work in healthcare and can confirm what this person is saying. If you are sitting for that long, you may be having trouble dooing the deed... lol. That can cause straining which will cause the issues. Nevertheless, I take mine in there every time.

The facts are than sitting on the toilet for long periods of time DO NOT cause the problem. It is the "straining" that does.

Awesome. That's the best advice I've read at MR.

This is a crappy thread!

My doctor has suggested that toilet sitting should not exceed 5 minutes at a time. Of course they recommend against sitting and reading as you may lose track of time. If you do take your iPad in the toilet, set a timer for 5 minutes. You may be surprised how quickly it is up!

Nevermind the issues this may cause with your backside, I'm reminding myself to NEVER use anyone else's iPad after seeing this thread!

How has no one even mentioned possible fecal cross contamination? ew....

5 minutes is nowhere near long enough for me, even without an iPad or other gadget lol. As for fecal cross contamination, if you handle any type of money with bare hands, I don't think you will have anything to worry about

It is of course more sociable to take nothing with you to the loo, get it all done quickly and rejoin your family, but sometimes it's the time away from your family that you go for.

Almost every day at work I'm sittin on the can, and this guy comes in, sighs, drops a couple turds and is outta there in 30 seconds flat. It's actually quite impressive, and I don't know who he is, but he is known in the office as the Lightning pooper...

Meanwhile I'm all gettin pins and needles playing sonic the hedgehog go kart on my 6 plus...
