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.
 

WHERE:

Steps of the Capitol building

E. Capitol St. and First St. NW, Washington, DC.
