Charmin's Times Square Bathrooms Are Open For Your Business

In time for the holiday season, the Ultimate Charmin Family Experience is here! And by "family experience," Charmin means going to the bathroom together in delightfully clean (at this point) bathrooms in Times Square! There are 20 clean and comfortable restrooms, open from 8AM to 11PM through December 31 (well, the potties are closed on Christmass and will close at 6PM on December 24 and 31), but there's also a waiting room with flat-screen TVs and a fireplace.

Workers will be cleaning the bathrooms after each use (and it's probably considerate of you to flush), so these might be the cleanest bathrooms in the city. And don't forget to take your picture with a Charmin bear!

The Charmin facilities were designed by the Gigunda Group, which has designed other Charmin promotions (like the mobile restrooms) before.
