In many countries, toilet paper is meant to be flushed or people are used to a bidet. For a man, this could mean pretty much no reason to have a trash can near the toilet.
But if you plan on having people over, specially women as a date, have a little trash can with a plastic bag and a lid near your toilet. That’s where your guest might dispose of a tampon, pad, cotton swabs, condom packaging, and similar items.
Make sure you have some toilet paper available even if you prefer a bidet, too - there are many times it could come in handy, and people might be shy to request it after using the toilet and realizing its not there.
Hold up, do people actually not just have a small trash can in the bathroom??
According to many of my female friends, yes, actually!
My housemate (we’re both men) was so confused when I got a bin for the toilet.
His girlfriend commented on it as he never had a bin at his old apartment
This is shocking. Shocking!
What the hell? There are people who don’t have toilet paper in their bathroom? Do you stick your dick in the bidet every time you had a piss?
I find that having a trash can in the bathroom is useful for everyone, at least for me personally. I tend to accumulate empty bottles of shampoo/body wash if I don’t react to it immediately, so having a trash can nearby can expedite that process. Also useful for things like floss picks, razor containers (don’t throw straight razors down to the trash can), and many more.
