Find Nearest Public Restroom. Use SitorSquat App.

How many of you have to “hold it” until you get home because you can’t find a bathroom or you refuse to use a public bathroom?  Personally, I am a “got to go girl.” After 4 kids I am ready for adult underpants.  Well, the Sit and Squat Mobile App and website is a dream come true for us frequent bathroom users and parents with small children.

This application is available all over the world through the website but is dependent on users to rate and add public restrooms to the site.

The only bad thing about this app is it is now only available for iPhones, iPads, and Blackberry users.  Obviously, andriod users don’t have to go the bathroom. (See But the website said they are working on an app for the Droid.  Wouldn’t you know it? I have a Droid!)

Never fear, you can text the word, “sitorsquat” to DOTCOM (328266) and follow the instructions to find the closest public restroom.  Whew.  That’s a relief.

 

An Example of a SitorSquat Toilet Description

Before You Say Ewww.

People rate the toliets (sometimes) and list the hours of operation.  The maps contain different color toilet icons.

  • Green means it is open.
  • Red means the bathroom is closed at the time of day you are searching
  • Yellow/Orange means the application isn’t sure of the hours of operation.
  • Blue means you click a particular toilet.  It changes back to one of the above colors.

Should I Squat or Sit?

You must be wondering, how do I know when I should sit or squat?  The website states the rule of thumb is if the toilet has a 2.5 star or above rating, you  can sit.  If you feel the rating of the toliet was an exaggeration, rate the toliet.  This makes the program more accurate.

Disclaimer About Squatting

 However, the website warns it isn’t best to squat when you are intoxicated, tired, or carrying heavy objects.  (Did their lawyers tell them to put in this disclaimer? )

Social Share Your Toilet Comment

When I looked at a typical toilet description, the format reminds me of Amazon’s description.   I loved all the comments, especially for us discerning toilets types. Note, you can add your comment about toilet as well as stumble, digg, and share this information. Toilet talk.  How fun!  In fact, if you find a new toilet, you can add it to the application.   Doing your business is serious.

How Can Businesses Team with the Squat Team?

I couldn’t figure out how they were making money on this application until I read their media kit.  They state that over a million people have used their app since its inception.
So, if you want to get into the toilet time biz, a business can advertise on a toilet description,  or sponsors an ad.  Alternatively, a business can white label the application for their site. (See National Association for Continence’s site.)

Just so you know, this site is backed by Proctor and Gamble.

      Catherine, I agree. I was a little bummed when I saw that there wasn’t a Driod App. Anna
