i'll attempt
#1 it's loose so it doesn;t neccessarily have to touch anywhere
#2 even if it does since it's tofiach al menas l'hatfiach (or even a step better than that), Hashaka will transfer the water to every part it needs to
obviously this isn;t something to rely upon l'chatchila, but then the question isn;t about L'chatchila

@dan would you use a Mikva that wasn;t bor al gabei bor beshas hadechak?

I think that is what needs to be defined.

There are many things that might be acceptable, but we wouldn't do lechatchila. Is "honeymooning" or for that matter any other trip that we were willing to spend a lot (money or points) for considered enough of a sha'as hadechak?

if i pulled out the calendar made a reasonable guess (assuming vest kavu'a with a +/-1 variable )  6 months in advance booked an once in a lifetime DDF special
then all the was a change or miscalculation and instead of the week before, yom tevila came out the day we arrived...
(all babysitting arranged etc etc) yes i'd call that shas hadechak

Try making those calculations while rushing to book a glitch fare ;-)

DW's trauma was not about that.

Imagine being used to going only into an upscale hotel bathroom, and having to go to a youth hostel bathroom instead.

That's your fault for not doing research! There are options.

Some people could use the harchakos IYKWIM.

I actually did the research.

I asked someone where I can find American Style

would you use a mikva that wasn;t bor al gabei bor?

I was given a few options, with a recommendation for Beit Shemesh. However when time came DW decided to go to the closest one on the list we were given. Bor al gabei Bor it was. But far from American style.

I don't know if anyone wouldn't. Crown heights didn't even have a bor al gabei bor until at least the 70s (maybe even later).

Let me correct myself;

I don't know of any Rov who would say not to.

Interesting, as that would be the halocho by alot of thing such as washing for bread

I don't think that was the minimum. That time was what I asked the Rov, not what the Rov told me.

Stupid article.  What's the point of even discussing it?

Classic liberal nonsense. From the same news outlet that has an obscure reality on all kinds of topics including this one.

In general, even in the US, chassidishe mikva lady's perform a full and intrusive examination for chatziza as opposed to the casual glance done by others...
