bathroom breaks
Trips to toilet
Bathroom breaks are pauses from work or other activities to use the toilet.
The term appears most often in workplace contexts, where such breaks may be regulated or monitored: The warehouse limits bathroom breaks to ten minutes per shift.
In schools, students ask permission for bathroom breaks.
The phrase emphasizes the break from activity rather than the bodily function.
