Swedish public toilets are known for their cleanliness and convenience. Each cubicle is like a separate room. Everything is well-built and solid. The bathrooms are well-maintained and equipped with modern amenities. Most public toilets in Sweden have changing tables and facilities for people with disabilities.
One feature considered unique in Sweden is the "dricka och tvätta" (drink and wash) stations. These are street fountains with drinking water and sinks for washing hands; this is a common sight in public places and parks. They are popular with people who want to refill their water bottles or wash their hands.
Another feature unique to Sweden is the "sittpott" toilets with built-in seats; it is designed to be easy for children to use.
Finally, Swedish public toilets often feature "papperslös" (paperless) bathrooms; these are toilets that do not use toilet paper but instead use a water jet or bidet for washing; this is a more environmentally friendly solution.
