Placing a piece of paper in the toilet before using it has special benefits that many people don’t know about! Here’s why you should start doing it:
1. Prevents Splashing
When you drop waste into the toilet, water can splash back onto your skin.
Placing a sheet of toilet paper on the water surface absorbs the impact and reduces splashing.
Helps maintain better hygiene, especially in public restrooms.
2. Reduces Unpleasant Odors
The paper helps trap some of the odor inside the water before it spreads into the air.
This is especially helpful if you’re using a shared or public restroom.
3. Lowers Noise Levels
Dropping waste into the water can sometimes make an embarrassing loud noise in quiet bathrooms.
A piece of paper acts as a buffer, making the process more discreet.
4. Prevents Stains & Sticking
Solid waste can sometimes stick to the toilet bowl, making it harder to clean.
A piece of paper creates a barrier, preventing residue from clinging to the surface.
5. More Hygienic in Public Toilets
Some public toilets have dirty water, and splashing can introduce bacteria onto your skin.
A paper layer helps reduce direct contact with contaminated water.
How to Do It?
✅ Before using the toilet, place one or two sheets of toilet paper in the bowl.
✅ This works best in flushing toilets (not dry or eco-toilets).
