I have NC due to th me delicate nature of the discussion... AIBU to think most women do this? My DH was very surprised when I told him I do.

When I use a public toilet and need to do a bottom burp I muffle the noise with toilet paper ( - basically farting into the paper before throwing it in to the bowl!).

Am I alone in this or do others do this too? I'd hate to think the poor woman next to me had to hear the noises from the next door cubicle. I hate hearing farts in a public toilet 🤢

Can't say i do no Grin

PrettyLittIeThing · 15/03/2018 11:43

I don't poo in public toilets so non issue for me.

kaytee87 · 15/03/2018 11:45

Nope, can't say I've ever done that Confused

IAmMatty · 15/03/2018 11:45

Hahahahaha no I don't do that Grin

alligatortoss · 15/03/2018 11:46

A bottom burp? That’s vile? Are you 6? Hmm

DryIce · 15/03/2018 11:48

Haha! This is a hilarious image. No, I have never done that.

Or referred to a fart as a bottom burp!

GorgeousJaws · 15/03/2018 11:49

Bottom burp 'vile' GrinGrin

No OP I haven't. Heard some loud echoing bottom burps from the next cubicle though Grin

TenancyTroublesAgain · 15/03/2018 11:50

The fuck?

Bambamber · 15/03/2018 11:51

Oh heaven forbid someone hear you using the toilet while they themselves are using the toilet. Does no one think of the children?

FrolickingForklift · 15/03/2018 11:53

I'm with you OP, I have IBS and hate when I just need to fart. loo roll works like a mute for the fart.

LikeATomato · 15/03/2018 11:56

Yes I often just do a pee and need to fart too. I also put paper in the toilet before I poop because I don't like it making a sound when it hits the water.

Maybe I have toilet issues Confused

Bottom burp - does anyone remember Purple Ronnie?!

Since you ask, yes I do.
Yes it’s embarrassing, but well, better in the loo than out in public.
I’m human and I get gas.

I don’t always muffle the sound. Sometimes I do.

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 15/03/2018 11:58

I call them Bottom Burps too sometimes, forgot that's where it came from! I don't muffle them with loo roll though - might try that one next time I want to let one go in a public loo! A bit like a trumpet mute I guess?

Dallia · 15/03/2018 11:58

What a time to be alive.

DobbyisFREE · 15/03/2018 11:58

Never done this... I do however hold everything in if I'm not alone and wait, sometimes for quite some time when people are coming in an out. It's ridiculous and I know it but I can't bear the thought of someone hearing me Blush

Stephisaur · 15/03/2018 11:59

I do yes 😂

Mainly at work though - I can get quite gassy and the toilets are right by the main office so I don't feel they need to hear me tooting away!

DobbyisFREE · 15/03/2018 11:59

Also I call the cubical furthest away from the entrance "The Poobicle"

Not relevant but it amuses me so thought I'd share.

Oh, same for putting tissue down before a poo, but that's because my Mum always told me to to avoid splashback!

I just flush then let rip ! Happy days !

Djnoun · 15/03/2018 12:01

I was under the impression that the bathroom was a free for all fart zone.

chickhonhoneybabe · 15/03/2018 12:02

No, I’ve never done it.

I do however flush the toilet if I need to fart or do a poo, and I put toilet roll down the toilet before I do a poo.

Re weeing and farting, how on earth do you mute the noise with toilet paper without getting wet fingers? Hmm —intrigued—

demirose87 · 15/03/2018 12:02

I'd never even think to do this.

Mari50 · 15/03/2018 12:02

Why would you fart into your hand? Bleugh.
If I’m using public toilets though I do put some paper in th pan prior to doing a shit so no one hears anything and if I think it’s going to be particularly unpleasant I vacuum seal my arse to the pan and flush before I sit up in the vain hope that things don’t get too stinky.
But no, I don’t fart into my hand.
