The flight crew is a great source of information, and they can fill us in on many details of flying that we hadn’t thought about. For whatever reason, you may have used the airplane toilet before takeoff. This is a natural reaction, but the flight attendant is here to tell you why it’s a problem that requires fixing immediately…

She insists that we not use the ship’s toilet paper. The Miami-based TikToker @flightbae.b is dishing out a plethora of insider tips that are sure to be of use to those of you who make your home in the clouds. This has to be expressed, despite the fact that it may make you feel ill. Most airlines provide toilet paper, but it’s possible that it’s not always clean.

The tissue paper, not the toilet paper, is for your use. Little boys who are pointing and firing tend to fire randomly when turbulence occurs. She advises, “If you don’t want that type of crap in your nether regions, use the tissue paper instead of the toilet paper,” in a TikTok video. We can’t believe we hadn’t thought of it this way before since it makes so much sense.

She said that the tissue towels’ elevated position made them more resistant to dirt and grime. The water won’t be able to splatter them as readily as it would the toilet paper. “Just use it instead of the toilet paper since it’s cleaner,” she suggests. Someone added, “And also, antibacterial wipes!!!” as a comment on the video. When I worked as an airplane cleaner, we would simply use a dry cloth to remove the dust off the seats and wash down the tables. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so bring your own wet wipes and antibacterial wipes for use in the restroom on the plane.
