Most people have heard about a courtesy flush. A courtesy flush is needed when you are conducting your business in the bathroom and have enhanced the bathroom with an aroma that even a mother could never love. A courtesy flush is needed as soon as you have defecated enough to realize that no one else should have to endure that smell. So, you do a courtesy flush to help eliminate the smell. However, there are some toilets that splash a lot when they flush. So, how do we keep from having to immediately want to take a shower after splashing our behinds with feces when we do a courtesy flush? Its quite simple! Just before you do your courtesy flush, spread some loose toilet paper in the toilet. It helps control the splash.
