This group here at Susans has some unique insights, most of us having spent some time in both facilities.

So, what's your general impression?  Which facility is generally the cleanest, nicest place to find 'relief'.  I'm only interested in the cleanliness and orderliness of the facilities, not the behaviour of the patrons, per se, though you can comment on that if you wish.

On a construction site it's no contest, the women's bathroom.  Otherwise it depends on the management.

Without question, the women's restrooms are almost always the cleanest.

Um, women's.

On a seperate shocking note, up is up and not down. Black is not white and the sky is still blue.

Seriously. Don't you remember the pee smell on everything that would make you want to vomit? NASTY.

Ummmmm,,  It totaly depends on the venue....

Some places they are kinda equal.... most places the womens are cleaner <or seem to be> and some places Id rather use the guys and have someone stand guard by the door for me rather than brave the hell of the womens room.    I wish I had though of the makeing a paper seat thing LoL

some even have tables, chairs, magazines to read, hand lotion, and even [real] towels, not the paper kind.  in men's rooms, you're lucky if you're able to find toilet paper.

I have used 1 men's restroom in my whole life that was actually like this with real towels and everything.  It was quite amazing. :)

HAHA. I haven't been into a womens restroom since I was like 13, but I can't imagine a womens restroom smelling like 1 and 2, with 1 all over the seats. It's really really bad in the club scenes too. Most of the mens stalls don't even have doors. Nothing like walking around in stickiness knowing its not honey :)

The ladies' room.  Even when you have to stop at those rest stops when we drive from west to east, the ladies' room is much cleaner.

Well.. I'm from up north, in my country, and now I live in the middle...

I've worked at a school, as a cleaner, and I tell you: Much less work at the boys-room. And an overdose of nastiness in the gal's. It was really horrible.
Overall, in restaurants and the like, the men's rooms were often cleaner, aswell, be it only a little bit.
But then, I moved to the middle of the country. And let me tell you, I néver, éver use the men's around here. I rather hold it up till I get home. It's disgusting.

So I say: Depends on the venue.

Where I work and where I tend to roam, the women's room.  there are some exceptions but not many.

So far 0 votes for Mens room being nicer.  That really says something.  >:D  From what I've seen in general is the the women's restrooms are NEVER worse than the men's.

Usually, the women's room is nicer.  However, never put anything past a teenager!  There were incidents earlier this school year where some girls were not being ... um ... appropriate with used sanitary materials...
