Dear ladies, let’s make the world a better place by simply using toilet paper. To protect yourself in a public restroom, use a paper towel as a barrier when sitting down to pee. If you prefer not to sit, consider using a urination device, ensuring you aim correctly.
Walking into a bathroom stall covered in urine is not only upsetting but also unhygienic. Certain infections can be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids like urine. Proper handwashing can reduce the risk, but avoiding contact with someone else’s urine is always best.
Squatting over the toilet seat may seem like a solution to avoid contact with germs, but it can lead to messy outcomes. Some women squat because they fear sitting on a toilet seat contaminated by someone else’s urine, creating a cycle of unsanitary conditions.
Let’s face it, squatters – they’re a problem
To maintain cleanliness, simply create a barrier with folded toilet paper on a clean seat before using it. If that’s not an option, consider using a urination device and remember to clean up after yourself. By doing so, you eliminate the need to worry about coming into contact with someone else’s urine.
Let’s all do our part to keep restrooms clean and accessible for everyone. We understand the ickiness factor, but it’s important to prioritize hygiene for the well-being of all restroom users. So, let’s take a seat and make restroom visits easier and more pleasant for everyone.
