Can I ask if you be happy with mixed sexed changing rooms

[Hopenothate]

Just that really not loos but changing rooms
Gyms swimming pools
Keep in mind many changing rooms have no cubicles or if they do they simply have curtains like this images.app.goo.gl/H6pdSPuXJiUqjs817

Absolutely not. Creepers charter.

My pool has separate rooms with solid doors surrounding a central bank of lockers. Each room has a toilet, sink, shower, and dry area. There is also a prominent panic alarm in every room.

I would not change clothes just standing next to a random man. I can barely manage to do if I’m in front of random women. I also wouldn’t shower with only a plastic sheet separating me from men.

Absolutely not.

I would not be happy to change in a mixed sex changing area without cubicles.

No problem at all with our local pool which has one changing area with lots of individual and family changing cubicles.

Have you looked at my link not all places have cubicles with locked doors

Would you be happy in mixed sex facility’s were their is only shower curtains and or communal changing

The local school my daughter attends swimming has this set up as dose my local gym

I wouldn't be happy at all with that, i wouldn't use facilities that were like that.

Doesnt bother me although we have cubicles. I much prefer it than either sending my 7 year old son into male changing alone or getting dirty looks for taking him into female changing.

yes

as a parent with 2 disabled children that are way bigger than their years and look older(5ft 2 8 y old, 6ft 2 14 y old)a mixed one would be great as if we are not with their dad they have to come in with me as our local centers dont do separate disabled just have facilities in each changing room

the 8 y old isnt bothered by the 14 y old is

Sorry cross posted op

Ok for me but not for others.

No.

I wouldn’t mind. My leisure centre has actual lockable doors, not curtains.

I can't believe how many women would be totally fine with random blokes looking at theirs and their children's naked bodies.

Mumsnet is like a different world, sometimes.

No thanks .
Had enough of women bringing in their 12 year old boys so fuck having fully grown men in there too .
So many issues with this

My pool has an all cubicles mixes changing area. Generally fine.

Advantage. Husband and I can share a cubicle if needed.

Disadvantage kids swimming lesson time - cubicles swamped with many kids. Mums trying to mange more than one kid each in their own cubicle sometimes ( why? ). No where for me to do an “ English seaside “ quick dress under my towel as no space and no where dry even to put a bag down out of the way !

Worst though - men drying body hair with hair dryers often standing in baggy pants - when there are kids or women about. Exhibitionism ? Fuck you ism I dunno but if I mention it and say I’ll just get the lifeguard to explain why that’s not appropriate - they vanish 😂

I think it’s very uncivilised. My local pool has a huge mixed area with cubicles, and a shared shower (7 showers in one small enclosed space with no curtains). So the men all wash their chests and slip their hands into their pants for a quick wash, while the women basically can’t wash properly. I put up with it for a few visits but then after a teenage boy was desperately trying to hide his erection in the mixed shower, I don’t swim anymore :(

Wouldn't be bothered. I don't like it when men or women perve on me. The creeper's gender is irrelevant.

So I think it’s clear what’s needed is woman’s
Men’s and mixed sex

If there are secure cubicles like the changing village at my local pools then that's fine. Communal changing in an open room or with only curtains, definitely not.

Two separate issues for me having used mixed sex/ changing village facilities in the past:

I didn't really like it pre-children but being young with a reasonably slim body and no children to wrangle I could nip in and out of cubicles in a flash, and had far fewer wobbly bits to try and squeeze in/out of stuff and if someone accidentally caught a glimpse I would have been embarrassed but not too worried about someone possibly taking pictures of my flab that might end up on a bodyshaming website or worse.

Now I would aim for single sex facilities if I had the children with me because of the certain level of camaraderie amongst women with young children - I know if I had to get changed with the door half open to accommodate a pushchair no one would bat an eyelid in women's changing rooms.

The second concern is that it doesn't matter how many cubicles you put in some people like to strut around starkers and get kicks from making other people feel uncomfortable and the current trend for open plan poolside changing villages allows them to do this more easily.

No I wouldn't be happy with that arrangement

All swimming pools I've used have had mixed sex changing rooms. I couldn't care less.

Had not mentioned gender

Just talking about mixed sex changing facility’s 😊

Lockable doors in a mixed sex changing village = happy with that (butBUT I know people have been assaulted and videoed in such places, I always look around for cameras).
Anything less than that, no I would not patronise that establishment.
However I go sometimes to a pool with single sex changing, no cubicles in the women’s bit at all and I find that mortifying, it really puts me off. I also don’t like my over-8-but-still-a-kid ds having to change alone in the men’s one, again with no cubicles.

My swimming pool has one changing room with lockable individual and family cubicles. I much prefer that set-up to single sex changing rooms, as it makes going swimming with children much, much easier.
