Flight attendant reveals why you should never use the toilet paper on a plane

A flight attendant has revealed the gross reason why you should never use the toilet paper on a plane journey. 

The seasoned cabin crew member, an American woman named Cheryl, shared the three things she would never do on a plane after seeing what really goes on behind closed doors on an aircraft. 

Her first tip for any traveller was not to use the toilet paper in a plane bathroom. 

Sharing her tips in a TikTok video, she wrote, "If you examine the toilet paper, I promise you're going to see water droplets on it, or what you think are water droplets."

"I don't think we can trust most men to make it in the toilet on a normal day, let alone flying at 36,000 feet with turbulence."

To combat this, the flight attendant recommends bringing a travel pack of tissues in your hand luggage to use instead. 

She also warned her viewers against wearing shorts on their next flight.

"I would never wear shorts on a plane. You're going to freeze to death," she said.

Cheryl pointed out another valid reason to opt for long pants on a flight, stating, "Say we have an evacuation. You have to go down the slide. Your butt cheeks are going to be sizzled off.”

Lastly, Cheryl urged travellers to never book less than a three-hour connection between flights.

"Delays can happen for a million and one reasons. The likelihood that you're going to miss your connection is pretty high if you're booking shorter than three hours," she said.
