Somebody suggested this on another thread - sorry can't remember who, but I thought it was a good idea.
So far I think I'm right in saying that:
Marks and Spencer don't have sex segregated changing rooms
Primark don't have sex segregated changing rooms
Next have got rid on their female toilets.
Have I got these right? Any others to add?

Thought it was time to bump this and add Flora and all other products produced by Upfield.

Ocado, (Over the billboards organised by Posy) gutted to have boycotted them, but I’ve stuck to it.

Wagamama - for transitioning to mixed sex toilets.

I was in a Next a couple of weeks ago. In that one they have a women's toilet with three cubicles and have got rid of the men's. The men now share the single disabled toilet.

Matalan are turning their changing rooms into a mixed sex changing 'village'.

I have never ventured into Primark Birmingham because it believes girls should share intimate spaces with adult males.
Yuk, just wrong.

It would be very difficult to boycott all those brands. I think it's much more effective to target the most egregious ones - back in the anti-apartheid days we used to boycott Barclays and Outspan oranges, but you can't effectively boycott a couple of dozen brands. I'd certainly agree with boycotting Upfield because it might be helpful for them to understand the value of the Mumsnet pound.

Just updating this as we have the M&S thread, I went back over this thread to try to track all the companies, retailers and charities that have thrown women and/or children under the bus in one way or another,I barely keeping up TBH.

Topshop, New Look, Dorothy Perkins, H&M (but I don't really shop there)
Cheeky Wipes (and Always but I use reusable/washable)
Flora
Birds eye
Ocado
Co op
Kellogg's - for the rainbow cereal
Lush - for donating to mermaids
NSPCC
Amnesty
Children in Need - for donating to mermaids
Sprite and Coca Cola - for their tv ads
