There's no official set of rules when it comes to using a public restroom, but some women on Reddit took it upon themselves to highlight the proper etiquette everyone should follow when doing her business.

After a question about the best bathroom behavior was posted in AskReddit yesterday, hundreds of commenters chimed in to offer their own go-to guides - and their pet peeves - when it comes to visiting the ladies' room.

And while the cliche about what to do 'if you sprinkle while you tinkle' certainly came up, most of their suggestions go beyond keeping the stall clean and free of bodily fluids.

Follow the rules: On a recent Reddit thread, users listed several 'unspoken rules' that women should follow in public restrooms

One of the most agreed-upon rules seemed to be that it is unacceptable to let a woman - even a stranger - walk out of the bathroom with a wardrobe malfunction.

'If you see a lady with her skirt tucked into the back of her underwear, you have to say something before she leaves the restroom,' wrote one user. 'Even if you don't know her; even if she is a b****.'

Another Redditor agreed, adding that the same rule applied to women who trail toilet paper on the bottoms of their shoes.

The sisterhood of the ladies' room was strongly promoted in the thread, as several women spoke up to advocate for helping out a lady in need.

'Always warn the other girls if there's no toilet paper,' said one, while another person added that you should also offer a heads-up if there is splatter all over the seat.

But most importantly? Never hold out on saving the day with a much-needed feminine hygiene product.

Awkward moments: Women in the thread said that you should ignore any embarrassing noises you hear - and get in and out as quickly as possible

'If someone asks you for a pad or tampon, give it,' advised one woman. 'Every woman has been in that situation at some point, and it sucks.'

Several more agreed, with one explaining: 'Nothing worse than having to make a ghetto pad with toilet paper when you're all out of feminine products.'

If you can't hear anything, I am waiting for you to leave so I can do my business. So get out!

However, not every rule was about being a friend to strangers. Some Redditors got a bit more explicit, pointing out that privacy is paramount when you're in the loo.

'Pretend not to hear pee farts,' one wrote, while another explained that it is 'when you really had to pee so you can't control that a fart came out'.

Unfortunately, while many agreed that this was a fine rule, following it can be easier said than done. Wrote one: 'I have bad bathroom etiquette because I laugh every time I'm peeing and hear that happen to someone.'

One American Redditor pointed out that it is never OK to take a peek at someone in a stall, even if you're trying to find one that is free: 'At NO time should you EVER look through the crack/gap between the stall door and the frame. If you need to assess vacancy, looking for feet or a shadow under the stall door from a safe distance is acceptable. [sic]'

Others noted that, even though there are usually multiple stalls in a public bathroom, sometimes a girl just needs some alone time.

Help a sister out: If the machine has run out, Redditor agreed that it is proper restroom etiquette to offer a woman a spare pad or tampon

'If you enter a stall to do your thing and the female in the neighboring stall is sitting there not doing anything, she clearly needs to poop,' one woman explained. 'You should finish as quickly as possible and vacate the bathroom, since she can't go with you there.'

Another agreed, writing: 'If you can't hear anything, I am waiting for you to leave so I can do my business. So don't linger at the mirror and get out!'

'In addition to this, be sure to turn on [a] hand dryer to cover any accidental noises they may create,' said yet another commenter.

As one might expect, the thread was packed with bathroom humor - and several men even offered their own take on the topic.
