Do you feel nervous or uneasy using unisex loos?

[Motuihe]

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.

Why would it be any more unhygienic than single sex loos?

It's not based on any logical position but I hate them and avoid them as far as possible. But I'm a bit funny about public loos in general.

You must be mistaken. On Mumsnet all men are itching to expose themselves in unisex loos. It is not possible that a man night noit want to share a loo with a woman any more than a woman whats to share it with a man.

I've never had any problems with unisex loos except for at work 20 years ago when some men used to do stinky hangover poos in there on a Friday.

I quite like them generally as they tend to be designed with sink and drier in the cubicle

I feel stressed in any small space, like a toilet cubicle, that a man could force his way into between me and the door. That happened to me (not in a toilet) as a child.
I’m fine in women’s loos and changing rooms as long as I know there are no men.
When I first noticed men trespassing in women’s toilets a few years back, it stopped me using loos in pubs, cafes etc for a while. Then I thought Go to hell, I’m big enough to do a man some harm if he tried it now.

If they are properly designed, so for example with fairly open hand washing spaces and all individual cubicles, then no I don't feel uncomfortable. I prefer single sex but I can work with unisex.

I'm still a bit flabbergasted over recently going to use some loos that were portakabin type ones labelled as "all gender" for both portakabins. Anyway I had my DD (8) with me, she walked in, looked really puzzled and ran back out. Turns out she'd walked in on some guy using a urinal, because they were not, in fact, properly set up unisex loos, but standard male/female portakabin loos that someone had decided to make "inclusive" by labelling everything as all gender. Gotta protect the rights of grown adults to use their preferred toilet over the right of little girls to not unwittingly walk into a massively inappropriate space apparently.
