I’m sure they can’t be there to ‘save water’, as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways…

    Okay, but that still doesn’t answer why would you do that while the toilet is auto-flushing?

    It’s unavoidable with these damn things, just so much as reaching for the TP triggers them to flush, getting my junk wet with toilet water. And they flush with the power of a pressure washer, meaning water is spraying everywhere in the bowl.

    Act like I wanna get my hands wet trying to wipe while the damn thing inevitably starts the auto-flush… F all that, just let manually flush when I’m done.

      I’ve never experienced the toilet auto flushing just from me leaning over. Maybe I’m just lucky that all the toilets I’ve used have been properly calibrated for use, and yours haven’t for some reason.

          Define ‘too far’…

          For these toilets around my area, you’d have to be Stretch Armstrong and literally stretch your arm out to get some TP without triggering the sensor.

          Yeah I tend to agree with the comments saying it’s probably something of a calibration issue, but they all seem to do that ☹️

          AquaVantage with Zurn wall mounted sensors here, if it counts for anything.

        It’s been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I’ll lean forward to get circulation back into my legs and it’ll flush. Other times, I’ve had to press the little manual flush button before I leave the stall.

        Oh, okay, I get you. Yeah these damn things here are set on a hair trigger, so to speak ☹️
