Finish with a brisk towel-off. Then apply toiletries/dress.
I am very careful to keep the facilities very clean and I will wipe up any splashes with paper towels.
When finished, nobody can tell that the restroom was used; and I am just as clean as if I had taken a shower.
I do the same and I have access to a shower. For me the bird bath above takes me 15-17 min. And the shower, with the walk and towel and all takes closer to 30 min. That means I don't have to take the earlier train to get to work, giving me 40 min of sleep more in the morning (4:00 am).
so for me it's convenience and I don't feel handicap with the "bird bath".
P.s. The bathroom/sink is all in one big room that locks behind me, so I'm the only one there.
