PEOPLE are only just realising that there is a secret cabinet in plane toilets.
The cupboards hold essential products to help passengers in need.
Sanitary products are hidden behind airplane mirrors for flyers that have been caught short by an unexpected period.
Mum-of-two Tatti Sorokina took to Instagram to share her positive experience of the plane cupboard.
She filmed herself opening the mirror in the airplane toilet to reveal a cabinet of sanitary towels.
Some commenters were quick to qualify the video, with one writing: “Usually, passengers should not open this in the bathroom,
“But you can always come to the flight attendants and ask for products.”
Tatti replied: “I actually asked a flight attendant. She showed me this and told me that I could open it and take as much as I need.”
Flight attendant Joselin Lora works for Delta Air Lines and has previously shared a similar video.
She explained: “For those who fly Delta, especially the ladies, on some planes there’s a button under the mirror where if you press it, it’ll open.
“And in the mirror you will find amenities of your needs like a pad.”
She added that on other planes, it can be a “pull-out box on the walls”.
If you find yourself in the same situation, let a flight attendant know and then you will be able to grab what you need.
