AT the start of a new relationship, how many of us are guilty of getting up before our boyfriends to apply a quick bit of make-up? Or "accidentally" wearing a matching set of underwear on any old day of the week?
Or, in extreme cases, racing home after a long romantic weekend away because we can't bear to go to the toilet with our boyfriend in the next room? Guilty as charged.
Well according to a new study, a staggering one in five women relate to the latter - and admit they just "don't feel comfortable" going to the loo at their boyfriend's home.
Bathroom retailer investigated how long it takes men and women to get used to their new partner (and their toilet habits) as part of a nationwide survey.
Out of the hundreds of couples the brand spoke to, Drench found that 85 per cent of women feel embarrassed to go to the loo at their partner's in the first month of their relationship.
In comparison, just 68 per cent of men were bothered about nipping to the toilet round their girlfriend's house.
However once couples got beyond this initial awkwardness, 24 per cent were happy to go to the loo in front of each other seven months into the relationship.
Meanwhile, a further 37 per cent said they would NEVER even go to the toilet with the door open.
What's more, 34 per cent of men said their biggest bathroom pet peeve was when their girlfriends leave hair in the sink.
Unsurprisingly, the study also found that 40 per cent of women complained that their man's worst bathroom habits were not cleaning the toilet after themselves... *shivers*
