The Best-Designed Bathrooms In America

The Best-Designed Bathrooms In America

The public restroom is not a place worth celebrating, generally speaking. It is a place of absolute necessity, awkward small talk, and worst case scenarios come true. Cintas, a company that specialises in — what else? — bathroom supplies, is dead set on changing that perception. Which is why it sponsors a contest to find the best restrooms in America.

This year marks the 13th edition of the contest, which is run in both the US and Canada, and seems like a genius way to market a company that would otherwise never come across the average consumer’s radar. Last year’s winner, Everybody poops. But not everyone poops in style.
