I carry a small squirt bottle with me to use to rinse my pouch. My pet peeve is those faucets that have to be activated by motion or the ones that are like a shower. It makes it extremely difficult to fill up my bottle.

Thanks for this tip - great idea! I recently bought a small collapsible cup for the same purpose. When it arrived, it was far too bulky for my purse, and I was disappointed. Now I will try a small spray bottle and may even put a small amount of baby oil in the bottle as well. Yay and thanks! jb

Try bottled water to fill up the smaller bottle. I get 40 17 oz bottles from Walmart for $5 and change. That should last you a long time.

I just bought a collapsible water bottle on Amazon. Okay so far. Cheers, Ian.

Haha, yes, a definite pet peeve. So are single bathrooms for large restaurants and bathrooms with no exhaust fan.

No one is thinking of us when they design public washrooms.

I still want a Japanese ostomy sink and their lobbying power to have them installed in public washrooms in every country.

Smells nice, goes right in the toilet beforehand but I also give an extra spritz after flushing.

Walmart, and if you want to mess with people's heads after you use public bathrooms it comes in apple pie and pumpkin spice. That should confuse the hell out of the next person using it.

And toilets that flush automatically...at the wrong time
