    People don’t just wash hands in a bathroom sink. They wash their face, groom themselves, admire themselves, apply makeup, etc.

    Also, why waste space with stalls, when you can use urinals instead? I don’t want to wait outside a stall to take a piss.

      The first thing you named everyone does so it doesnt need to be private.

      The second thing is a urinal takes up a stall space so just have more stalls.

      After being to places that do this, I can tell you it works fine.

        I don’t want to mog myself in the mirror in front of women.

        Also, urinals absolutely don’t take up as much space as stalls.

          You can’t check how you look in the mirror in front of other people? Why, what difference would it make what gender they are, that’s kind of weird.

          Nobody is watching you, you can grow up and deal with it.

          Yes the space savings is based on only requiring one room vs two. And even in a one room scenerio the loss isn’t that much, about 1 urinal space for ever 14 stalls. Not to mention that there never is one room empty the other waiting scenerio.

          Again, I was just in a facility that does this. These rooms are easy, convenient, and safe because the sink areaks open to the hall. It works great.

        Stalls are not as efficient space, material, or queue wise compared to urinals. For those with penises and the need to pee, urinals are just better. It would be stupid to remove these.

          Not really no. Because you are now requiring two seperate bathrooms. Urinals dont really save any space, you cannot share it. So one row of lets say 12 stalls floor to ceiling are just as efficient. Only one common area open to the hall way, only one plumbing row (same a a urinal) and only one bathroom.

          This system is more effective and just works.

          Also, you add as many areas like this as the building requires.

          Do you have a urinal at home?

            Urinals can be packed far more tightly than stalls, so no they are not just as efficient. Urinals are also optimal for high traffic/volume scenarios, so having one at home is not necessary. They’re also easier to clean and maintain.

              Except they really aren’t that much tighter, nor do I want them to be. Again, you now have two bathrooms so any space savings is lost, if not worse.

              Funny to read this as I am at a facility right now with open unisex bathrooms and this is as efficient, because if more women or more men show up it doesn’t matter. The everyone in the sink space is working well too.
