WHAT:
Following reports citing a shortage of port-a-potties secured for
the President's Monday inauguration, Charmin encourages attendees
to download the SitOrSquat app to find clean, public restrooms
near the steps of the Capitol building. SitOrSquat by Charmin is a
free mobile app available for iPhone®, iPod Touch® and Android?
that consists of user-generated content and currently contains
more than 125,000 restrooms across the country.
Those in attendance of the President's public swearing-in can use
the SitOrSquat app to find restrooms in the area, or even populate
the database with new found locations. The app also allows users to
find restrooms equipped with specific features, such as changing
tables and handicap access.
