Be A Good Sport: A Guide To Porta Loo Etiquette

The Unique Challenges of Sporting Event Toilets

At large-scale sporting events like marathons, cycle races, or triathlons, portable toilets are a necessary but often underestimated part of the experience. Unlike music festivals or parties that may have a more relaxed approach to hygiene, sporting events require stricter standards due to the high volume of use and unique circumstances.

The Key to Good Porta Loo Etiquette

  1. Avoid Squatting or Hovering: Many people believe that squatting over a toilet is more hygienic, but this can lead to splashes and wet floors. Instead, use toilet paper as a seat cover if needed. Remember, the risk of illness often comes more from unwashed hands than from using a portable toilet itself.
  2. Be Mindful of Privacy: Always lock the door when inside a porta loo. With so many attendees and limited facilities, people may check doors to find an available one. Keeping the door locked respects others’ privacy.
  3. Leave It Clean and Ready: When exiting a portable toilet, put the seat down (if applicable) to help control odour and leave the door open if possible for ventilation. This simple act helps with air circulation and keeps queues moving. If you find the toilet lacking paper or with issues, inform the event staff.
