Do you feel nervous or uneasy using unisex loos?

It is a bit offputting when several men are washing hands and whistling away and you are only woman there. Or if you leave a loo at same time and clock eyes with a bloke.

We had them at work. Horrible meeting the CEO who’s just had a poo

I found them fine where I live. Sinks inside each cubicle.

If you have ever been to a French campsite, all the loos and shower blocks are normally unisex.

One of the ones I go to regularly- and it is a 4* site- has the urinal room right next to the entrance so it’s a lovely sight first thing in the morning!

But you get used to it- it’s far more accepted on the continent I think!

I don't like the ones that are like a normal restroom. They aren't open enough for me and feel weird. I don't mind the individual toilets that are open into a larger space and don't have shared sinks.

What a terrible terrible idea unisex loos are. Please may they be eradicated.

I’m not a fan of having to put the loo seat down and negotiate little pools of piss on the floor. Unisex loos really put me off.

Oh, and men who stand having a piss with the door open. That really angers me. What if a young girl was going in alone?
