Festival-goers call for better shower etiquette
Over on Reddit, a Hulaween attendee posted a blunt reminder to fellow campers: clean up after yourself in the shared showers. Reported complaints include clogged drains, hair on walls and floors, and even finding used feminine products left behind — things that turn communal showers into health and comfort problems fast.
This kind of short-sighted behavior hits festival vibes and safety. Dirty, clogged showers create unsanitary conditions, slow down access to facilities, and put extra work on staff and volunteers who are already stretched during big events.
Quick rules to keep showers usable
- Bring a small trash bag and a sealable bag for sanitary waste — dispose at proper bins, not the shower.
- Collect hair before you leave and toss it in the trash.
- Use shower sandals and a towel; wipe down stall surfaces if needed.
- Report hazards (sharp objects, blockages, bio-waste) to festival staff immediately.
- Be mindful of others waiting — a little consideration keeps lines moving and tempers cool.
Most festivals provide cleaning crews and disposal stations, but they can’t be everywhere. When everyone does a small part, shared spaces stay safer and more pleasant for all attendees.
If you’re heading to Hulaween (or any camping festival), treat facilities like you’d want them treated for you: pick up after yourself, pack out what you pack in when possible, and use designated disposal options for personal hygiene products.
Short reminder from the front lines: being an adult at a festival is basically being a decent human — and it makes the whole weekend better.
