A member asked:

I'm trying not to become ocd, hence my question : would you need two separate slippers for bedroom and toilet /bathroom , or use of one is hygienic?

Most often: one pair of slippers is fine. However, if you use a community toilet area which does not appear to be hygienic - then separate slippers/ flip flops may be a better idea.
