To just want nice toilets

[PicaK]

Honestly - toilets should all be unisex and completely self contained (floor to ceiling) , lockable with a wash basin in there, a hook for bags and room for a toddler and lots of loo paper.
With glass doors for the entry into the toilet area.
Then all this worry about who else is using them would stop.

How do you know?

I mean... she probably also allows < whispers > tradesmen use it 😱

Single Sex spaces are safer for women & girls.

Gosh I am suddenly remembering the pub nights when my friend and I would disappear to the ladies to discuss the blokes, get a bit of advice/ reassurance, then head back into the pub.
I feel so old, now.

I’ve been in children’s A&E a few times with DD in the last few months, 2 unisex toilets. Covered in piss constantly by the adult men using them.
even DH tells me how grim the men’s are in his work.
I also don’t use the bathroom the same time as DH and I expect him to clean up after himself. We don’t have that control over strangers.

Covering left and right handed men. They’re having a wank over the toilet. One hand wank one hand lean.

Inside my home no other adult uses the same bathroom at the same time I'm using the toilet, no. I also wouldn't brush my teeth or use the bathroom for anything else whilst someone else was on the toilet either.

We have 2 bathrooms and when I'm unwell, as I have gastroparesis amongst other conditions that really affect my quality of life, I have one bathroom just for me so it doesn't impact anyone else. It is my house and I paid for it.

Let’s say it loudly in case any other people appear with this ridiculous argument.

THE TOILETS IN YOUR HOME ARE ONLY USED BY MALES KNOWN TO YOU AND YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF WHO USES THEM.
PLease feel free to add your toilet to the list of public conveniences in the country if you don’t consider this to be the case.

In my previous office we had unisex toilets with floor to ceiling doors and wash basins within. Invariably they were covered in shit with piss all over the floor and seat by mid morning. Also the noises were clearly audible from nearby cubicles.

I now work at an office with single sex toilets with about 12 cubicles plus 3 separate stand alone toilets rooms with basins etc for those who don’t want to use same sex or require more privacy. Most of the time the users in the women’s single sex toilets manage to keep them clean.

Went into unisex toilets at a railway station yesterday. They stank, it was disgusting. Definitely had to hover. Ladies loos aren't perfect but they are a hell of a lot better.

The thing about men making toilets disgusting and covered in piss- surely this is something that needs to stop being normalised, and not just treated as “what men do”. There are always going to be some unisex loos (eg in places where there’s only room for one or two cubicles, on trains etc) and it really shouldn’t be acceptable for men to make them revolting!

I do think all buildings should have some unisex loos where possible, whether or not in addition to single sex spaces as this is really the only option that is suitable for some people. They should be cubicles directly off the main concourse though, with no “semi private” area whatsoever, even if the door is glass.

Not every single time they use the toilet like most men I've had the displeasure of sharing with.

If you're deploying the ridiculous "your toilet at home is gender neutral", then I'll deploy the obvious "Do YOU allow a load of blokes you don't know to use yours when they like?" response.

Boys (and their dads) should be taught to sit down to pee. Outside against a tree, fine stand up, but otherwise sit down. Many men do.

Public toilets need cleaning hourly, more if mega busy. I bet the station staff don't give a stuff.
Whether unisex or not toilets need to be cleaned at an appropriate frequency. What you saw clearly weren't being.

My experience of unisex toilets means I know that men wee on the seats more often, and leave a bigger amount of wee behind than women. I don’t want unisex toilets.

15 pissed blokes wouldn't queue. They'd turn one or two cubicles into makeshift urinals with the door open so they get in and out quickly. Piss splashes, no flushing, no hand-wash. Probably someone pisses in that handbasin. It would be grim grim grim.

There seems to be a lot of exaggeration about unisex loos on here. My experience in Denmark where most loos are unisex, in our local shopping centre, and at two entertainment venues in Bristol tell me it makes no difference at all in terms of cleanliness. At our local sports centre and M&S there is a lot of piss on the seats from th hovering brigade,utterly disgusting.

Of course in Scandinavia the men sit down to urinate, probably helps in keeping the loos nice.

There really isn't. They are disgusting.

I've just finished working on the refurbishment of an office block which now has unisex loos. I don't like them, seats always left up and urine on the floor. I don't think any of the women in the offices like them.

Oh for sure, I don't think men are somehow incapable of treating shared facilities with respect. It's entirely cultural. But IMO it's only fair to women that we (by which I mean society not women!) fix the men's behaviour before we combine the spaces.

We have these too. You have to take a mop and bucket in before you can use it.

If my bathroom is gender neutral because me and my husband both use it, is my bed gender neutral? Can anyone use it. Or is it a private space.
It’s literally the weakest argument ever.

I do, and for that reason.

Why do men do that? I went into the single sex ladies toilets at work and there was a man standing there with the cubicle door open. If he hadn't left the door open I'd probably have never known he was in there, but there he was ....

makes me feel urgghh
