Do you restrict yourself to only use your own toilet at home or are you at ease using what's available? What about toilets at your friends? And public toilets?

The bathroom in my apartment is shared anyway. I can't be very picky about toilets at the moment.

If you’ve got to go you’ve got to go. I’m not that bothered. I use a strange toilet more than I use my own.

I prefer to use the toilet at home to a public toilet, because it's a PITA getting the toilet paper carefully over the toilet seat and touching things as little as possible, also making sure my wallet or phone doesn't fall out of my pockets, but if I'm out and I have to go then I have to go. A friend's toilet I guess I wouldn't really mind.

A few years ago, I went on a work-related trip for a week. I could not use my shared hotel restroom to go potty. My bowels would just seize up.

I will use any toilet, but I do check whether it looks clean enough to actually sit on, or whether I’m gonna need to levitate over it.

I've hated public bathrooms since I was a kid. And if I go into a public bathroom and there are other people in there that I don't know, then I turn right tf around.

Friends who own toilets that fully function?? uM, who am I, Rihanna??? What is this, the Met Gala?

I'll use anyone's toilet as long as it's free and I know what they're about.

I use wet wipes. Toilet paper does not cut it for me.( I don’t get ppl who use toilet paper and then can go out in public- are your wiling methods superior to mine? ) anyway… since I have a kid, I have an excuse to lug around a big bag full of things that make me feel at home, such as a container of wet wipes.

no restrictions - I use what's available, but not with ease, I'd rather not do my business at friend's houses but when you gotta go...public toilets are OK too as long as there is not feces smeared on the walls and all that, I just can't wrap my head around how people treat public bathrooms, like how do you get that shameless to leave a mess like that? I would be in there half an hour cleaning up after myself if I ended up with feces all over the place

Public toilets are like taxi's for me. I'll use them if I must, but I prefer not to.
