In certain conditions we are sometimes forced to use public toilets. If public toilets are in well-maintained places such as malls, cinemas or shophouses, it might be okay. However, if you are forced to use public toilets in places where you don't have enough cleanliness, you want it or not, rather than hurry or wet your pants.

Not only is it a matter of hygiene if we talk about public toilets, but also the threat of spyware, especially for ladies. Here are some tips for using safe public toilets. Listen and pay attention

1. Check the facilities available in the public toilet

Make sure water is available to rinse / flush, make sure the door is functioning properly and not perforated, make sure there is also toilet paper.

2. Check suspicious things

It is possible that the toilet you are using is spy cam. In the era of rapidly developing technology like now, the size of the camera can be as small as buttons or bolts. Look carefully at the parts of the toilet that might be the place where the micro camera can be hidden. For example the bottom of the toilet, bolts, the top of the lamp, and so on. Each camera requires a lens even though its size is very small, and the lens can be easily identified from the reflection of light. You can use a flashlight from a smartphone to check it.

3. Always carry wet tissue

Wet wipes will be very helpful if you are forced to defecate or urinate in a public toilet. Especially wet wipes specifically for cleaning toilet seats.

4. Never store a bag in the toilet area

A talkshow was discussed on this matter. A clean-looking toilet area is not necessarily sanitized. This allows bacterial contamination to stick to the bag if you store the bag in the toilet area.

5. Use toilet paper to coat the seat on the toilet

If you are forced to use a public toilet and you do not bring wet tissue to clean it then you can first coat the toilet seat using a tissue. It does seem wasteful, but you don't need to take your risk of being infected with bacteria just because you have to urinate in a public toilet.

6. ZERO touch as much as you can.

Your hands and fingers are the best medium for cross contamination. Transfer of bacteria from the hand to the forehead or other parts of your body. So try not to touch any part of the toilet using your bare hands, for example the lever to flush the toilet and the toilet door handle. You can use a tissue to coat the parts.
