AIBU to wish men had to queue more often for a pee?

And another thing .... mammograms - if men had to slap that particular bit of their anatomy between those two squeezed down plates for sure they would have been designed very differently!

Could not agree more. It is maddening and still after all these years even new builds still do not comprise of more ladies loos than male.

I do find however the worst practice is women who do not wash their hands. YUK Especially in a supermarket where they will inevitably pick up raw food. YUK YUK.

I never have the guts to tell them what I think though.

Here you are - just what you're looking for Nelliem.

Nelliem, is anything too graphic for a G'net forum?

I use a SheWee, keep it mainly for train & plane journeys when the toilets can get rather disgusting.

I will search it thanks Elegran

There was a whole thread on she-wees and similar gadgets a while ago, and no-one went into the vapours. Maybe we should have another one for new posters - there was a lot of useful information (and some interesting prdicaments were recounted)

Have any of you tried "she wees" as advertised in walking magazines? I cannot see quite what benefit they would be in terms of ease of use .

This is probably a bit too graphic for gransnet forum.

I wonder how the young ladies wearing those all in one tops and bottom's that are becoming fashionable now, get on. Hate to be in a queue behind one of them.

Bought some body shaper tights a couple of weeks ago. Broken nails and twisted wrist from the struggle to get the things on. Didn't see any difference in my shape and by the time I got home, the crotch was between my knees. Will now go back to hold-ups.

Deedaa. You're right!

Surely the problem with Shaper underwear is that you go out looking slim and sexy, meet George Clooney's better looking brother, go back to his place and then at some point you have to disrobe and out comes all 25 stones of cellulite. Can't see this ending well - the struggle to undress you would probably have scarred him for life even before the horrible truth was revealed. At least if you're prancing round like Hattie Jacques in full sail he's got fair idea of what to expect

But where do women think it all goes?
Lavoisier's Law of Conservation of Mass means it is still there somewhere...all compacted together under the 'shapers' or bulging out the top and bottom?

Nanadog It's probably that underwear that reckons it can flatten bums and bellies by squashing them with immensely strong elastic-type stuff. I should think it is calculated to make women faint in the same way as those terrible laced-up corsets of the nineteenth century. I prefer to let it all hang out.

Shaper underwear? What's that?

Waiting in a long queue recently and wondering why some women took so long, a solution occurred to me - doors automatically springing open after 3 minutes. Is that long enough? 3 and a half perhaps?

I read a very funny column somewhere once that said as if women didn't take long enough going to loo already, they take even longer now due to all the *'shaper' underwear we have to fight our way out of and back into each time. *Mind you, call it what you will, the ones I have look very much like what my mother would have called her 'step-in'.

Too much information dee

I have on occasion used the gents, but have always felt as though I was doing something I shouldn't be doing....if you see what I mean!

Time they did away with urinals and made all loos unsex. One queue - no problem.

About 20 years ago I attended a conference where I was the only woman, me and 79 men. The most pleasureable part of the whole three days was watlzing past the long line of men queueing for the loo and having the ladies all to myself

Some years ago I was at a concert with my mother and, come the interval, there was the usual queue for the ladies. As time was running out some off us took over the gents. The men who tried to come in took it for granted that they'd made a mistake and left. Eventually a gentleman in evening dress came in, realised what was happening , and said "I'm sorry ladies but I'm due back on stage in two minutes so you'll just have to turn your backs" which we all did with much hilarity.

I once had an interesting meeting with a Austrian truck driver in a loo at a truck stop in Italy when the ladies side was locked.

I gather there were enough Ladies' at the Olympics though.

ButI remember on a trip (hitch-hiking up Norway with a friend) finding a unisex loo in Oslo with a ladies' urinal. Not in a cublicle. No, we weren't brave.

At the Patchwork Quilt Exhibition at the NEC last year the ladies rebelled. Granted there were very few men there anyway, but we commandeered both sets of loos. All day. Bring it on.

In places where there is a single Gents and a single Ladies and there is a queue for the Ladies but not for the Gents, I just use the Gents. Does anyone else do that?

I wouldn't go into one of those places where there is a row of urinals though, though technically one could with a Shewee, I suppose
