But is it possible that public toilets are so antifemminili, unhygienic and impractical?

The first thing that invariably missing in a public toilet is toilet paper, but to this we are prepared and carried in your pocket if we are lucky at least a piece of paper with the emergency.

The second offense a bit 'heavier is that very easily miss a coat hanger or hang any bag. The solution becomes more complex, if you have no problem in the company discharges in the pair or purse, jacket, helmet or any other, if not especially in winter, it can become a real game of skill, to keep everything on hand without relying on possible points unhygienic.

But there's more ... the doors of the bathrooms are often made to open inwards, I guess to avoid landing in a confined space with a door on the first victim who was passing by. But the spaces of the bathrooms are often so narrow as to move the door a few inches from the water, a space so small as to cause to approach the water almost have to touch it.

If you wear a skirt I assure you that the idea of dusting the toilet seat with the board is absolutely horrifying, and then a hand will take care of this detail instantly .. than that of the bag and jacket, of course.

Still the list is by no means over, these problems are the drawbacks of traditional bathrooms present in places crowded with many people, see roadside restaurants or cinemas. What is different in the premises, where there is usually an anteroom and a bathroom for a bath for ladies and gentlemen. The ladies' room is usually in communion with the disabled.

Here too, the problem seems stupid but is more serious than you might think. Accessories to facilitate the disabled predict that the water is raised by more than 20 cm compared to normal women lower on average than men, often have the misfortune not to be like brothers with no male assistance for peeing distance not close. Sit without touching the axis is a classic maneuver for women. With that height, not to touch the board without being too on the edge and therefore may not be able to hit the water for women is smaller in stature quite a feat.

For girls and boys usually a problem that should not be underestimated. If it is true that young children are accompanied by adults to the bathroom, here restricted the size of the above become extreme. In addition there is weaned and in this case the height of a toilet for the disabled child can be an insurmountable problem.

In short, a real disaster, you ever noticed that in case of crowding the queue for the women's bath is just four to ten times longer than for men's bathrooms? Nothing to laugh dear sir, before women are more numerically speaking and then they have much shorter urethra, which means that if the bladder is less than full strength, then we can not do it on average at the edge of the road!

But then after all these simple and mundane considerations, can I say ... ... can anyone even think about changing things?

Very little would suffice, while larger or folding doors, hanging clothes systematic average height of low water or use of Turkish baths a greater number of female than male, or no distinction between males and females, what the heck we are adults and if we want to keep open urinals for the nostalgic we do it in a separate place.

Finally, a speech disabled toilets are even more delicate and important, while it is now mandatory, their presence is also true that these bathrooms are all but used and usable by disabled people. They should be cleaned or sanitized much remember handles the water very high and require precisely that we should fully support.

Abroad are commonly present dispensers with disinfectant wipes to clean the board and the toilet paper is always present, as well as the supports and hangers, not to mention hygiene as a whole.

Do not tell me it's a spending problem, not you, is that we do so and no one thinks to do differently. It takes a bill for this? Common sense and innovations in this field may not be enough?
