In public restrooms, it often takes multiple attempts to find a toilet seat that isn’t soiled. This is, admittedly, a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of life, yet it is a frustration that many of us encounter far too often. The presence of urine on the toilet seat is unpleasant and, quite frankly, beneath us as women. However, instead of merely complaining, I propose a solution.
What if we all committed to sitting down on public toilets? Yes, I’m addressing those who prefer to squat!
I understand the anxiety that comes with the thought of your thighs and partial buttocks coming into contact with a surface recently occupied by another person. It’s certainly unappealing to think about exchanging dead skin cells with strangers, particularly those from our lower bodies. Moreover, I sympathize with the fear of inadvertently sitting in someone else’s urine. There’s a special place in hell for those who mistreat animals and those who create such unsanitary conditions.
If you find yourself squatting to avoid direct contact, I want you to consider this: by doing so, you are exacerbating the very problem you’re trying to escape. When you choose to squat, you may inadvertently contribute to the mess that makes sitting down unpleasant for others. Women’s anatomy makes it challenging to control where urine lands when squatting, leading to an increased likelihood of splatter on the toilet seat, clothes, and even the floor.
Moreover, squatting can be physically taxing. It’s not practical to mix exercise with the necessity of using the restroom. Attempting to use the toilet for a number two while squatting is a recipe for disaster.
Ladies, when you enter a stall with a clean toilet seat and opt to squat, you are diminishing the opportunity for others to enjoy a clean sit-down experience for the rest of the day, until the restroom is next cleaned. While it’s true that restroom staff are responsible for cleaning, must we really make their job more unpleasant due to our reluctance to sit?
The reality is that when you squat and urinate on the seat, you leave a mess for the next user. This leads to three unfortunate choices: they can either find another stall, clean the seat themselves, or squat as well. None of these options are desirable.
Thus, we must come together and agree to sit down. This collective agreement is akin to herd immunity for public restrooms. Additionally, let’s strive to keep our bodies clean in the process. If we can trust that one another will maintain hygiene, it will be much easier to take the plunge into sitting. By agreeing to use the toilet as intended, we can eliminate the dread of sitting in someone else’s remnants, while also sidestepping the potential for our own messes.
So, what do you say, squatters? The clock is ticking—my child needs to use the bathroom!
As a side note, it’s important to clarify that this solution does not extend to porta-potties. Under no circumstances should you sit in one of those.

Summary
In summary, women should collectively decide to sit on public toilets to maintain cleanliness for all users. Squatting not only creates a mess but also adds unnecessary complications. By sitting down, we can improve the restroom experience for everyone and uphold standards of hygiene. Let’s embrace this change for the benefit of all.
