You are not at home and have an urgent desire to go to the WC? Be sure to check this detail before doing your needs in public toilets.
Public toilets have a very bad reputation, and we understand why. Cleanliness that leaves something to be desired, sometimes high price … We would like to avoid them more than anything, but sometimes, the desire is too urgent!
You have already experienced this situation: you are on a ride and feel a crazy desire to pee. What to do then? Do you hold back or push the door of public toilets? If you choose the second option, do not panic, only check this small detail before sitting on the bowl.
Accessing clean and functional sanitary facilities is a basic human need. Whether for children, the elderly, workers or tourists, having public toilets is essential. However, in big cities, the toilets are not always welcoming, worse still … they could even be “dangerous”. Indeed, for a few days, a video has been circulating on social networks, alerting to a phenomenon raging in large cities.
Some people in a situation of dependence would use the toilet paper rolls to clean their equipment as syringes for example by planting them directly inside the roller. To find out if this is the case where you are, simply check that the toilet paper does not contain small red dots.
These small points, sometimes barely visible, could expose you to real risks: hepatitis, infections or other transmitted diseases by indirect contact. When people consume in the street, in squats or in public toilets, it may indeed happen that they use what they find on site, and therefore sometimes the hygienic paper rolls, to wipe their equipment or clean their skin.
This is why many associations try to make kits more accessible containing compresses, sterile water, etc. Difficult to know if this phenomenon is really gaining momentum or not, but in doubt, do not hesitate to bring your own handkerchiefs or to slip into your bag, a small packet of damp wipes.
