As far as the smell go, why doesn't she carry a spray contained by her purse so she can spray in the stall back she decides to do her business. Tell her to stripe the toilet with toilet broadsheet and then sit - I do this adjectives the time, I never know who's sat here before or if she have a disease of some sort. I can agree with her somewhat, but convey her about the spray...you know what I'm discussion about right? One of those deodorizers yea? Good luck hun:)

How can you inform when a woman is having an orgasim?

I enjoy never heard someone not wanting to use a public bathroom because they be afraid of the smell, but I dont go surrounded by public restrooms unless i HAVE to, I do this because I am not comfortable going in public (someone hearing me, ect.) Maybe she will freshly have to use one if its an emergency but otherwise I presume it wouldnt be a problem. Unless she has a huge phobia, if thats the overnight case I would suggest counciling

Can anyone tell me how to gain at most minuscule 15 more pounds?

Well what did she do growing up using school bathrooms and after her relatives at her own house? That's a phobia, she desires to really address that, is she a germophobic maybe? I would bring up to date her if it's just the smell, cart a spray air freshner near her and open the door, spray, hang about abit then budge in and use it. If it's more resembling sitting on the toliet, then they do get rid of paper wraps you can set on the form then sit on the wrap or she can hover over the toliet and walk. Let's see, your hands are dirty already when you turn on the faucet so rinse and use a paper towel to shut it sour and to open the door when departing, or just dry-clean the faucet or take lysol and spray both. I other open the door departure the john with a daily towel then toss it contained by the trash, you never know who washes their hand and not and whats on their hands, especially if you are going to guzzle after using the bathroom. I wish you guys luck!

Others have given you biddable advice give or take a few practical things to do. But I wonder if it is not a larger problem.

She may be suffering from a social phobia (fear of bathrooms) because she is embarrassed to own a bowel movement when others can hear or smell. Or she may have stage fright, also certain as bashful bladder, shy bladder, pee shy. The medical-psychological term is paruresis. It is the inability to pee when anyone is just round the corner. In women it is often the horror of someone hearing them pee.

I am a psychotherapist. I just now had a woman tolerant who had this problem. Sometimes she wait and waited for everyone else to exit the Ladies Room. When she peed after putting that off for tons hours, her pee didn't last intensely long since she emptied her bladder resembling a gushing waterfall.

People hold hindmost from peeing in public toilets:(1) because they fear that they might not know how to pee and would be embarrassed not to step, and (2) they need privacy because they be taught at home to lock the bathroom door and never agree to anyone see you pee. So in public, near all their germs, their bladder locks up or freezes. They are still trying to please mom or dad and to meet the terms their rules
