Do you feel nervous or uneasy using unisex loos?

I don't care. I don't really put much thought into toilets, I go in, pee, wash my hands and leave. I don't really clock who else in there. Public toilets aren't particularly known as being pleasant place to hang around so I just mind my business and get in and out.

I don’t mind a communal loo as all the ones I have visited have been seperate cubicles with sinks. And much better in terms of queuing.

I did cleaning when I was younger and the ladies was always more disgusting than the men’s.

No because after men use them they smell like a gents.

I've used the gents before in an emergency, I don't care about the presence of males, but on a regular basis I don't want to share the facilities because male urine stinksand makes the whole cubicle smelly, men are less careful with hand washing and it feeels unhygeinic. I'm well aware women can make a mess as well but the smell seldom hits you as you walk in.

All the unisex facilities I've ever come across in the UK have lockable enclosed cubicles with floor-to-ceiling doors. No gaps at the top of bottom of doors or partitions.

Not per se. In my goth days the lads would often come into the ladies' loos to do their hair and makeup and I have, in the past, gone into the gents if the queue for the ladies was too long.

My only issue would be their lack of aim and, let's be frank, boys' loos stink lol

Not nervous, just disgusted that men can’t bloody clean up after themselves so I have to go to the loo with piss over the floor and on the seat.

If they are completely self contained AND cleaned regularly and properly I don’t mind. If I go in and can spell male piss I hate them.

In a small cafe with 1 loo well that’s unavoidable and again if it’s clean and I couldn’t tell that it’s not single sex, I’m ok. Otherwise I get out as quick as and hold my nose.

Context is all.

Meeting a man in an enclosed space where you have either just/or are about to remove clothes is not the same as meeting the same man by the coffee machine.

A female CEO doesn't present the same statistical risk to me.

Don't like them and I get a strong revulsion reaction. I don't want to be around toileting men.

I've never encountered any of the issues listed here in unisex toilets (or at least not exclusively so - I've seen many a disgusting womens toilet too!). Perhaps I've been lucky. No, I don't feel uneasy or nervous.

I thought this too that it was only legal if the the washbasins are inside the cubicle.

Don't like them - they normally smell as bad as the mens (confirmed by two sons who miss being young enough to come in the ladies).

The PP saying that the women's are in a worse state - this is not my experience. Whatever state the ladies in a place are in, the mens are worse - and unisex may as well be a mens.

Also this 'it's the norm on the continent' - This is not my experience either - I've lived in 5 different EU countries, visited many more, and in most of those places there were separate toilets, except where the place was small and there was only one or two fully contained cubicles - and then it's just a throw of the dice whether they are well maintained or not.

Is that so? I went to the loo on the fifth floor at John Lewis Oxford St last week and it was open shared sink area with a few cubicles all with the seats up.

If it's an all in one unit - toilet plus sink - and enclosed floor to ceiling then no problem.
Aren't these a good alternative to the invasion of the safe spaces that Mumsnetters are so vocal about?

I like family changing rooms alongside male/female changing rooms. I hate unisex toilets

I feel uncomfortable using any public toilets. It always makes me feel a bit awkward. It doesn’t make a difference to me what sex the other users are. Using public toilets is just something you have to do sometimes, whether you like it or not.

I hate them. They make me feel uncomfortable and on edge. Worried about peeping toms. Stinky and dirty. Horrible.

This, I go to festivals, and stay in hostels too.
It still shouldn't be the norm.

I won't use them, I walked into one and walked out again once. Dh is very uncomfortable using them at work. If they must be unisex I think they should be single cubicles, which works well at a place I visit locally. Makes note never to camp in France.

Gross. Bristol airport have installed unisex loos in their transport hub. You can smell the piss from outside the building.

Indeed. And disabled toilets have always been unisex, not sure why we think it’s ok for disabled women to be in a toilet disabled men have used but not for all other women.

I have to use disable loo so unisex. Always piss on the floor and seat up, and stinky. Really miss not being able to use regular ladies loo😥

I have never been to any WCs that have this set up. It is always either rows of separate cubicles with sinks, or individual rooms in smaller establishments. Even our local leisure that has the “family changing village” and has done for about 20 years, there are separate WCs.

They are non binary safe spaces, perfect for anyone now.

What if the CEO was also a woman? Do we need separate management toilets?
