November 19 is celebrated as World Toilet Day, and this is the perfect time to talk about UTIs, sanitation and the importance of public toilets. Public washrooms usually have a host of bacteria and viruses, even when they look tidy. Using them can lead to urinary tract infections or worse. It is harder to use public restrooms when you are a woman, but ensuring the use of the right products can make things much easier.
