Free website to find public toilets worldwide

I needed this when traveling and couldn’t find any quick simple website so I decided to make one myself (I am a programmer). It’s free, worldwide with many locations and there is extra info like opening times, fees, changing tables etc.

I hope it helps some others as well

Link: https://toilet.place/

There’s an app that probably uses the same database called ‘flush’ - icon is of a toilet roll.

Second vote for Flush. It has way more entries than OP’s link.

Flush was a god send when I was in Japan earlier this month.

@Kei
Technically going by numbers I think Flush should have about half (200,000 vs 450,000) of toilet.place, but of course you should use whatever works best for you. And coverage of a particular area might be different, it could be that Flush has more in Japan.

Unfortunately not available on Android because “it was made for an older version of Android”

@Jace
Try this - it’s great!

Happy to see it’s useful!

This is cool

One time I was in a US city on vacation and I really had to use the restroom. There was an office building, the kind that had security in the lobby. I went to the security officer and said, I have an appointment, I am meeting someone here in the lobby but I’m early can I use the restroom.

Since I was dressed in Dockers pants, and button up shirt I could have passed for a visitor and not a tourist. So the security officer let me use the restroom in the lobby, I then sat down for a few minutes and looked at my phone, I got up and said oh they changed the meeting place, I guess I am going to meet them onsite…

I left, and that restroom was such a relief.

You reminded me of a similar story, by the late Kevin Mitnick, whose action at the time had a different objective. This is now known as “social engineering” :wink:

Yeah but he lost everything in the Madoff scheme.

Be worth sharing this to the IBD/IBS/Crohns/Colitis subs.

Yes yes yes

Always thought this idea would be a super popular app like GasBuddy, including ability to add or update ratings of cleanliness or security. :star::star::star::star:
Maybe also if there are change tables / are child-friendly (for those who aren’t childless cat ladies :joy:).

@Jalen
That could be an idea for the future actually😆

I love this! Where did you get the database from?

It’s mostly OpenStreetMap (see the credit in the bottom left corner)!

What about urinal.net? GeoTag your favorite urinal and upload a photo!

I wish I had service at that ancient building in Dhaka. That urinal would have sparked fears in the bravest of men…
