Keep your loo warm, well-stocked, and in good repair is the message of this column. Women will notice. A cold seat and cold faucet water make for an uncomfortable experience, not to mention budget soaps and missing hooks.

Some of the best comments:

Don’t you just swoon when you see a can of Febreze or lavender luxuries from Bath & Body Works? That’s called restroom pampering, and it’s rare . . . ”

“Why do the designers of bathrooms never think to put light over the stalls? I would like to be able to see if the seat is dry before I sit. A wastebasket within reach of the pot is also important.”

“I look like a germ-phobic, but I use a paper towel to open restroom doors...if there's only a hand dryer, I use baby wipes. I'm going to start filling out the comment cards at restaurants and maybe suggest auto-open doors like they have at grocery stores!”

“Would also be nice if they make the stalls a little bigger. Not all of us are a size 2!”

“Public restrooms are a public health disaster! I think the restaurant industry especially and any industry should provide: enough running water to properly rinse your hands (warm in cold climes); FUNCTIONING SOAP DISPENSERS; some way to turn off water without touching the faucet and re-contaminating your hands; a way to dry your hands without touching any surfaces; and a way to exit the room without touching the door knob (some people were never taught by their mommy's to wash their hands)!”

“I wish they would let women design the restrooms instead of men. Men think that because all they have to do is step in, unzip and zip up again that no space is needed. Let them try to wrestle with panty hose etc in a booth so small that your shoulders are touching the walls on each side. Then you usually have this large round toilet paper holder to manuver around. While doing all this, you are holding your purse for two reasons, one the floor is dirty and two, even if the floor is not dirty someone could reach under the door and steal your purse while your panty hose is around your knees. When you finally accomplish what you went in there for, there is no paper in that large dispenser and you have to get the person in the next stall to hand you some paper under the wall. Now you have finished and panty hose are in place. Most doors open inward so you have to back up over the toilet in order to get the door open. Then you have to address the hand washing problem. And men wonder what took so long!”
