Zewa: Couples don’t fight over the toilet seat
Using a smartphone is the most common activity while using the restroom, where men spend almost twice as much time as women. Toilet usage habits have already caused conflict for 39% of couples, while slightly more than half of people find unpleasant odors disturbing – this is also evident from a representative survey carried out by Opinio on behalf of Zewa1.
It can be read from the research that there are differences between women’s and men’s toilet use habits both in terms of the time spent and the activities performed during it. On average, men spend almost twice as long in the restroom: for women, the average is around 4 minutes, while for men, this value is 7 minutes. 26% of women leave the toilet as soon as possible (vs. 14% of men), 21% of women and 30% of men spend 5-10 minutes there, while 9% of women spend more than 10 minutes a, 16 percent of men.
Men perform more frequent and diverse activities in the restroom: the use of the smartphone leads for both genders (men: 48%, women: 36%), reading, calling and listening to music are also on the list. However, women spend more time talking through the door and solving puzzles, with 8 (4% of men) doing the former, while 3 (2% of men) do the latter regularly.
Although there is a popular belief that folding the toilet seat up/down is the most common source of problems, research refutes this. The majority of those living in a relationship have never (women: 55%, men: 66%) or only occasionally had a relationship conflict regarding the use of the restroom, the rate of reporting a frequent problem is only 4 percent. The main sources of conflicts are the time spent on the toilet (43%), the urgency (41%), and cleanliness (27%). The toilet seat only causes problems for 22 percent of couples, who consider toilet paper correct. followed by disagreement regarding its perceived use (21%).
