A flight attendant has warned against using toilet roll while you're in the air, and there's a pretty grim explanation behind it. Planes aren't exactly renowned for their spacious and clean lavatories, even if you're living it up in business class. But if those canned Gin & Tonics you downed at the airport are now pressing down on your bladder, you have little choice but to grin and bear it. Cher Dallas is a flight attendant who has amassed a whopping 22,000 followers on TikTok alone thanks to her travel tips and tricks. In a recent video, she left viewers vowing to never use toilet paper on planes ever again - and for good reason...
"I do not use toilet paper on the plane and hear me out because I [do] wipe," she said. "But, if you examine the toilet paper I promise you're gonna see water droplets on it - or what you think are water droplets. I don't think we can trust most men to make it in the toilet on a normal day, let alone flying at 36,000 feet with turbulence. So I just tell all my ladies, just use the Kleenex instead.".
Cher's other travel tips included only booking indirect flights with a layover longer than three hours to reduce the risk of missing your layover due to delays, and not wearing shorts. This is to prevent being cold when the air con is on and to avoid some pretty harsh friction burn if something bad happens and you need to use the evacuation slide.
