Using a unisex toilet for the first time.

[unisexloo]

We took DD to sea life and when we went to the toilet to my surprise there was 1 and it was unisex!! Poor DH walked round the corner looking for the mens 😂

Thought I would share dh & I experience! Very strange doing a wee next door to DH, and the other lady in there looked VERY uncomfortable! DH got in & out as quick as possible and hated being in there with another woman said he would rather pee himself than go in there alone without me...

Obviously I cant comment very much as there was no other men in there but the thought of being along with a man in the toilets REALLY freaked me out for some reason, not to mention the cubicle I walked into had the seat UP, toilet paper on the floor as well as what I can only assume was P*SS 🤢 had to tell DD NOT to touch the walls as it smelled of urine also...

Anybody else had any experiences yet in a unisex loo? Safe to say I complained on my way out, I can deal with unisex toilets if I HAVE to when DH is around what I cant deal with is standing in a mans urine and having to wipe it of the seat ! Barf.....

@SarahAndQuack oh hun I am so glad I have made you so infuriated on a Thursday night.

I just want to say AGAIN the toilet me and DH used did NOT have floor to ceiling cubicles.

. Unisex toilets in public mean children will no longer have to take these risks regardless of their sex or that of the adult they're with
So women should be at risk permanently so parents dont have to worry about the short window between being too old to go ok the womens and being still a little on the small side.

You know they are bringing this crap onto schools right where adults wont be there to protect them?

Keep on using them, you'll feel more comfortable the more you do

Having never seen one im not sure how i could manage that

Thise men will still be with your boys when they go to town or to the swimming pool or the cinema without you.

So it makes no difference. Excepted you voted to throw girls under the bus for the sake of a couple of years...

I just wish they were offered as an addition to the current segregated ones as I would pick them over the women's everytime as I am sure I would be able to reduce my queuing time by about half an hour!

I agree

As an addition obviously, not instead of

lol Rufus I was talking to the OP :D When you find one, you can keep on using it too!

I've found, in my decade of experience with them, that having men in the toilets with me actually discourages any pissing about that a predator might be deciding to do. They're a lot less willing to try it on if they think there might be someone bigger than them emerging to smack them for it. I actually feel safer - although of course that's an anecdote rather than an actual statistic.

It only feels weird because it's new. Once unisex toilets are mundane and normal it'll be better all round.

Wouldn't bother me at all. If it's separate cubicles I just can't see the issue.

damn

See in my decades of using public bogs ive never seen what the OP describes

The closest was a night club with separate toilet areas with separate entrances and wash basins in the middle. But they had a few cubicles with two toilets in...so too cool for its own good

Where are all these bogs then

Sealife centre...obviously a new addition

In newly refurbed uni (not in ds1 uni...and thats recently redone)

Shopping centres?

Which ones...i wanna go look!

It makes it easier when you’re out with DC of both sexes. I went out and on holiday a lot just with my Dad and we had to use the disabled loos often. Some parents don’t feel comfortable letting their DC go into the loos alone (I know I still don’t, read too many horror stories).

There’s a restaurant in Leeds with unisex toilets. I really didn’t mind. I preferred it really because it didn’t have masses of women flocking around the mirrors...

OK even my scandi self would draw the line at one cubicle with 2 toilets in it

What you need is a weekend jolly "We're going on a bear hunt" style. "We're going on a unisex toilet hunt"! Think of the jollies! Swishy swashy swishy swashy..

Not sure the kids would be up for that

Although to be fair due to a shit pelvic floor we see a LOT of toilets

I'll just pop this here as a reason. The article states that 'Just under 90 per cent of complaints regarding changing room sexual assaults, voyeurism and harassment are about incidents in unisex facilities.'

And 'two thirds of all sexual attacks at leisure centres and public swimming pools take place in unisex changing rooms.'

I've used two types - the first had floor to ceiling cubicles, each of which had a washbasin in it. The main entrance to get to the cubicles was very wide and visible to the rest of the floor. They were fine.

The second had floor to ceiling cubicles but one row of washbasins outside which were shared. It was a long narrow room and the entrance to the loos went round a corner so it was not visible to the rest of the floor. I felt really unsafe, and I wouldn't use them again. It was noticeable that the next time I went to this venue, women were going to a nearby shopping centre to use the single sex loos there, rather than the unisex ones in the venue. DH went into them and said that they had turned into a de facto Gents, because it was all blokes.

controversial

Yeah ive seen the first type and personally have no issue with them

How odd that they would just make all toilets unisex when the cubicles aren't floor to ceiling. Unfortunately there are men who would take advantage of this and anyone who says otherwise needs to remember that approx 20% of women have experienced some kind of sexual assault. Plus, 10% of the 85,000 women who experience rape / attempted rape / sexual assault every year do not know their attacker. Unisex toilets with gaps at the top / bottom of the cubicle are definitely an issue.

Yet completely enclosed toilets are also dangerous as no one can see in or out. If someone pushed you in no one would be any the wiser.

Far better to not have them. Men. There in the first place

The unisex part wouldn’t bother me but the lack of cleanliness definitely would so don’t blame you at all for complaining.

But how many of these 'allegations' were women just whinging that some bloke had looked at her funny? Figures can be skewed easily and don't always give a true representation of the facts.
Just because I have a vagina it doesn't make me any more vulnerable than a man is when he's in my presence.
I hate this mentality of men being something we fear. Have I had bad experiences with men? Yes. But will I fuck let it turn me into someone who feels unsafe just because the owner of a penis is nearby

Its far more likely that the attacks and incidents are not reported than the statistics made up of people who "just looked at us funny"

@Whatelsecouldibecalled

Sharing a loo with someone who you know and presumably love is different to sharing with a complete stranger.

@SarahTancredi well I don't know.... judging by how many women seem so unsettled performing a basic human function such as weeing with a man at the other side of a wall I'd say there's a significant chance many of these 'statistics' are not as they read.

Of course, women are just hysterical

Women have a whole other host of reasons for using the toilets other than performing "basic functions"

Funny how instead of debunking this stuff haooema by producing facts etc the only defense is women lie and are being hysterical.

Says all we need to know really.

Happening

Stupid phone

We need unisex because apparently the mes is too dangerous for kids and trans people but when women complain these same dangerous males are now with us in the unisex toilets we are hysterical.
