Bathrooms


Bathroom Sign

My first post is about bathrooms. They are important to us gentle ladyfolk. Though the amount of time we spend in the bathroom is often exaggerated and made light of, the bathroom is no laughing matter. There are essential things that must be in every bathroom.

The first essential bathroom item is probably the most obvious: toilet paper. Not just the scant three pieces you have left on the roll. The sad truth is people eat things like three bean salad for lunch then follow up with a coffee that gets the system moving. Be generous with the toilet paper. Keep lots of it in the bathroom and keep it in reach of the toilet. Put it somewhere where a guest could easily find it.

Second, tampons and/or maxi pads. I don't care if you are in menopause or pregnant or male or if you've never seen a woman in your life. Some time some woman is going to be at your house and she is going to have an "emergency" that she is not prepared for. Have them on hand. If you're a guy, say your mother/sister/ex/friend left them.

A garbage can. When we ladies do come prepared, we don't want to have to walk out of your bathroom with a used maxi/tampon in hand and ask if you have a garbage we can put it in because you never thought you might need one in the bathroom.

A plunger. Seriously, people. When I've flushed and the toilet starts overflowing, I really like to plunge away the evidence. Consider it a favor both to your guests and yourself. Your guests are spared the embarrassment of having their poo overflow all over your bathroom, and you are spared having poo all over your bathroom. It's totally win/win.

Finally, a fan/air freshener/a scented candle/matches/something along that line. Cuz my poo may smell like unicorns and rainbows, but I know some people who aren't as sweet smelling as I am.
