Do you Agree or Disagree with Unisex Changing Rooms.
Yesturday, I went out shopping in Town, I popped into M&S to buy some clothes, went into the Fitting Rooms, where its just a Curtain to pull, no door to shut, I took my top off and I could hear a Man in the next cubicle to me, he was with his Wife, I didn’t realise that it was a Unisex Fitting rooms until I came out, but even so, I don’t think that is right, I think they should be separate fitting rooms, I could have been trying on a Bra, and took my clothes off and he could have just opened the curtains and see my full B…s.
Last time I was in Marks they had what’s called the new gender neutral changing rooms, however it was still all cubicles that anyone could use regardless of gender.
It didn’t bother me too much
Ooer I don’t think I would like that , especially just a curtain. Maybe with full closed doors .
I’ve just had a memory of last week. I was in Spa Medica and used the patients toilets , lucky it was empty because I walked past 2 urinals to get to the toilet alongside , I came out of toilet and washed my hands and looked at these two urinals and hoped no bloke was coming in for a pee . Can you immagine walking past a bloke peeing or two blokes even . Dear me , this doesn’t feel right . What if it was a young teenage girl passing them . It was a small room maybe 9ft × 15ft .
As there are still changing rooms in the men’s and the women’s departments surely they will mainly be used by customers of that gender.
But yes I’d prefer lockable doors, it was just a curtain in my local M&S
Apparently it’s been gender neutral changing rooms for three years…. I didn’t know that .
My nearest M&S sell-everything store has proper internal locking door style cubicles, although they are not individually marked for male or female.
Would I be happy with just a curtain? It wouldn’t bother me, but Mrs LD has just insisted that she would refuse to use curtain only changing room facilities.
It wouldn’t bother me, men and women change quite happily together on the beaches and causeways when we wild swim and I doubt there’s many blokes in M&S desperate for a peep at what I’ve got
But I do think they should provide proper, lockable rooms for those that are uncomfortable with it, otherwise it limits women’s freedom
I think gender-neutral is better (many people take their friends/partners/brothers or sisters in to help them decide) but agree curtains are out-dated. Stores should have staff to ensure bags are not taken into changing rooms if they’re worried about security
It doesn’t bother me.
If I’m trying on clothes, providing there’s a cubicle with a curtain or a door, that’s all the privacy I need. I don’t care who is in the other changing cubicles.
The small shops in my town which sells clothes for men and women just have a couple of changing cubicles screened by curtains which anyone who wants to try on clothes can use and I can’t recall ever going into a Sportswear shop which has separate cubicles for men and women.
I don’t mind unisex changing rooms at the swimming baths either, but I do expect a lockable door on those. The cubicles at my local swimming baths all have lockable doors, as do the individual shower rooms, so I’ve never felt uncomfortable about them being unisex.
