In Europe, paying to use public toilets is the norm, but advocates of free toilets are bringing convenience to tourists and locals alike. “Europe has more public restrooms than we do,” said Kate Storm, a New York-based travel blogger who covers bathroom culture on her website Our Escape Clause. “But if they’re not privately owned, you generally have to pay to use them.” Pay toilets are usually maintained by an attendant or cleaned by themselves. The fee is usually small change to cover maintenance, supplies and labour costs: 50 cents or 1 euro in EU countries, 1 or 2 Swiss francs or 20 pence to 1 pound in the UK. Restrooms with additional facilities such as changing rooms or showers may cost slightly more.
When you walk into a public restroom, you might see the letters "WC" written on the wall outside - but probably not give it a second thought. However, for some people, these two letters cause confusion as they wonder what exactly WC stands for and why it is written on the toilet door. The abbreviation stands for "water closet," a 20th-century name for toilets because most toilets were installed in spare closets or cabinets, according to Plumbworld. It reads: “Over time, WC has come to be used instead of bathroom to describe a room that has a toilet but no bath. In short, a WC suite is just another way of saying a complete toilet with a cistern, bowl and flushing mechanism. The term ‘suite’ can be a little confusing as a suite usually consists of more than one item, such as a sofa and armchair or a bath, toilet and basin, but remember that a WC suite refers to a complete toilet system. In some parts of the world, including the UK, people still use the euphemism WC or Water Closet to refer to the toilet.
According to Sinar Harian, a man from the United Kingdom now "cannot live without a bidet" when using the toilet after moving to Malaysia in April. Greg Lacombe, 39, said Westerners, especially those who have traveled to Asia, believe bidets are a necessity to clean themselves. "Some say that suddenly you can't live without a bidet? I agree, and it doesn't just affect me. The attitudes of Westerners who come here to use bidets have also changed. Living in Malaysia has changed my life, using a bidet is now a necessity. Many of my friends who visit here have installed it in their homes in the UK." Bidets provide convenience for us to go to the toilet. Welcome to contact us for more information about bidets.
