The Ladies Room

Diesel · #1 11-22-2003, 01:50 PM

I was looking at two Hersheypark brochures today, one from 1988, the other from 1989. In the information section of these brochures it mentions diaper changing. However, something changes in the two years.

The 1988 book says "most ladies restrooms are available for diaper changing and nursing mothers".

The 1989 book says "most ladies restrooms are available for diaper changing."

Something has changed there, where did the nursing mothers go in 1989, what changed after 1988?

So the question is, does the ladies room have a section within it for nursing? Maybe a toilet-less stall? A closet? A bench? I would imagine you'd just sit on a toilet and do it. Am I reading too much into this? Do you think something was removed after 1988 or was it just for no reason that the 1989 brochure didn't mention it?

What are some other things unique to the ladies room that we may not know? I just found it within the last year with the metal bins in each stall were for...yick..

Seriously though, why exactly are you looking so much into it?

Seriously though, in 1988, new nursing bras and blouses were made, which made it quite easy for women to nurse in public and no one would notice. It just looked like she was holding her baby against her chest. They still do that today, bet none of you ever even realized you could have walked right past a mom who was nursing. haha!![/b][/quote]

I didn't know they made special attire for that. I have noticed people doing that before though. I find that and public diaper changing to be absolutely disgusting.

Well, I guess you really showed me!
:rolleyes:

Anyway, I've seen ladies rooms before. When I'm at work on Saturday or Sunday and the only person there, I'll use the ladies room near my office as opposed to going up to the 4th floor for the men's room. When I was in high school I worked at McDonald's and swept and mopped the ladies room on numerous occasions. I'm sure everyone has seen the restroom of the opposite gender at least once.

I'd hardly call this "looking so much into it". If you're asking why I care, I don't know. I guess it's something that smart folk do. I don't know something, so I asked.

What's worse is when they change the diaper on the midway of an amusement park, the crap falls out, people step on it, and leave. Then you, the sweep, (well, ME) has to clean it up. Wonderful.

Maybe they moved the place where mothers can nurse. They can do it at first aid at Cedar Point, but I'm sure they can do it anywhere in public. It's not like it's against the law.

Actually, it may be kind of a stretch, but its possible for it to be concidered public indecensy. Heh, that reminded me of a fieldtrip I had last week. AKA fieldtrip from hell. I'll make a new thread though and explain.

About the differences between the respective restrooms -- ladies rooms typically will have an area with some sort of chair or something (nicer places, anyway) where nursing could be done. Plus, at any amusement park, a nursing mother can go into the First Aid stations and nurse, no problem. Much nicer than using a restroom, in my opinion.

Chip -- diapers, yes, but how about sweeping up those items that belong in the metal bins? Been there, swept that... :sick:

i thought ladies rooms have couches and nice stuff like that

Aaron · #9 11-22-2003, 11:30 PM

No, only in Nordstroms. Kind of makes you wonder why it's there in the first place.

Some do. Actually, besides a McDonalds or something like that, most ladies rooms have chairs/couches/extra shelves w/ mirrors for girls to fix their makeup.

My little sister once thought that those dispensors in the ladies room were "candy machines".

So that when we travel in packs to the ladies room on group outings/double dates, we can sit and talk about you boys ;)

The nicer ones I've been in have the extra space, but I wouldn't say nearly all of them, actually. Fast food places don't, and smaller establishements typically don't. But your more upscale department stores, bookstores (Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.) will have the nicer ones. A lot of places now also have "family" restrooms that serve when you have small children or need to nurse and stuff.

Amy -- I sent you a PM but your box is full! :(

Here's a followup. I was at work Saturday, and had to change afterwards to go to Dover Downs (I won $105 there). Anyway, before I left I changed in a ladies room since it was about 20 feet from my office and I was the only one there. I decided to buy a tampon while I was there and investigate it. I had a lot of fun opening it and soaking up water with it. It was really fun to absorb a ton of water, hold it by the string, and fling it at a wall. For a few minutes, I wished that I was a woman so that I could do this every 4 weeks.

ROTFLMAO. Man that was just classic. You had too much fun in a ladies room.
