Top 10 things people do
on the toilet
What do you do on the loo …?
Aside from the obvious
ablutions, it seems that people
have a fair few other habits
when they visit the throne
room. From checking social
media and writing work
emails, to texting, talking
and reading, our toilets
get more action than you might
think.
Another interesting toilet fact … 70% of people in the UK do not wash their hands properly after using the toilet (15% of men vs 7% of women) and of those who do, women are better at using soap (78% vs just 50% of men)!
1. Use smartphones:
It seems that we just can’t
be separated from our phones, with a
whopping 75% of people using them while
they’re on the toilet. We text (59%),
take calls (60%) and scroll social media -
some of us even draft work emails (45%).
2. Use dating apps:
Apparently one-in-four
(23%) men use their toilet time to look
for love, with dating apps a popular
choice when it comes to keeping them
occupied on the loo. On the flipside, only
11% of women do the same ...
3. Read books and newspapers:
Research shows
that lots of people still read more traditional
material on the toilet, with 63% opting
for books, magazines and newspapers.
4. Stick your head down it:
Kids get more
creative when it comes to the toilet,
with young children often putting their
head into the toilet or potty.
Apparently in the past three years the
London Fire Brigade has had to remove
18 kids’ heads from loos and pottys ...
5. Use social media:
Statistics show that
Facebook is the most popular platform
for toilet-time scrolling, with 35%
of people in the UK using it.
Next up, is TikTok, which more women use than
men (29% vs 15%), with Instagram coming
in third at 14%.
6. Sitting:
This might sound obvious,
but 25% of men sit on the throne simply
to free up their hands for using their phone!
7. Thinking:
Just like being in the shower,
taking time on the toilet can be
a form of escapism and a chance for us
to collect our thoughts and even get
creative, without any distractions.
8. Toilet yoga:
With a book on
this topic having inspired
some people to add the toilet
yoga movement to their routine,
you don’t have to attend a
class to get those relaxing
vibes ...
9. Shopping:
Lots of us fit in
some retail therapy while
we’re on the loo, picking
up purchases from our
favourite online brands.
10. Watch viral videos:
Going to
the toilet is often a chance for
people to catch up on watching
those viral videos they might
have missed or even a favourite
TV show. Indeed, research shows
that one-in-four people like to
watch TV on the toilet
