Shanghai to open unisex bathroom

The first unisex public bathroom in Shanghai, which aims to help reduce waiting times for such facilities, especially for women, has received mixed reactions.

Male users approached by China Daily were generally agreeable with having to share the space, while women formed the majority of those against the idea, citing safety and privacy concerns.

Scheduled to open on World Toilet Day on Nov 19, the bathroom has 10 unisex cubicles.
