There’s a lot of benefit had from urinals for literally everyone involved. Maybe something like a urinal area and a stall area? Would sorta self load balance. Could see that being unsafer for women during low usage though.
to anyone. they’re unhygienic, they waste water, they are not privacy-friendly, they require much more cleaning… i’ve been in unisex bathrooms with urinals and it’s just awful for everyone involved.
Sure, they’re relatively unhygienic but you aren’t actually touching anything yourself. Not to mention men standing while pissing in stalls is… just as bad. You have to flush with normal toilets too so I don’t really see how they waste more water. Plenty of people don’t really care thaaat much about privacy when at a urinal (beyond a privacy screen) and those that do can still enjoy the gender neutral stalls.
The benefit comes from throughput. You can put way more urinals in the same amount of space as a couple stalls would use. And if the men go to the urinals to piss then that frees up more gender neutral stalls for everyone else. It’s just better to have urinals than not to have them at almost any public facility unless you only have room for a single stall or two.
Yes but toilets take up at least twice as much space. You can fit twice as many urinals in the same space, which means twice as many people pissing at once, which halves the wait time.

there’s really no benefit.
I love urinals ❤️, quick, space efficient, and a great place to complement a “friend” after some flirting. 🏳️🌈
No benefit to…?

i’ve never been in a public bathroom that doesn’t have both in the same place. it’s awful and i wish they didn’t exist.
I am incredibly grateful that urinals exist, public bathrooms (and the queues for them) would be much worse without them.
it doesn’t take longer to piss in a toilet.
Why is there often a queue for the women’s bathroom and not for the men’s?
