I recently took a trip to visit friends in Amsterdam and was pleasantly surprised at Dutch
standards for public toilettes:
- Many public washrooms have floor to ceiling toilette stalls so that you have maximum privacy.
- Many stalls have a dispenser that sprays sanitizer for you to wash the seat before sitting down.
When travelling to places with undesirable toilet conditions, I often re-purpose hand-sanitizer into toilet seat cleaner, so its nice to see this concept used officially.

I am a big fan of these toilet stalls. I think it is so nice the door closes all the way. I am always self conscious people can see me through the regular stalls.
The Dutch bathroom is the littlest room known to man. I’m talking the sort of size that would make a mythical person claustrophobic. There is marginally space to pivot and take a seat. Be that as it may, before you clumsily attempt to figure out how to easily sit, investigate your surroundings – this won’t take long. But after reading your post have to say that dutch public toilets are best.
