Childrens bathroom
As a parent, you always have this embarrassment. When a child grows up a little but cannot fully take care of himself, when a father takes his daughter and the mother takes her son, should they go into the mens room or the womens room? ……
What is needed at this time is a semi-open layout of the childrens toilet. Children can go to the toilet inside, and adults, both parents, can wait outside without feeling embarrassed.
Japanese shopping malls set up childrens toilets. Since they are separated from those used by adults, they can save queuing time. For children Say that the size of the toilet suits you and is more convenient to use.

Female bathroom
In Japan, womens bathrooms are called dressing rooms. Each womens bathroom must have many makeup mirrors and devices specifically for women. ——【音嫫】.
Otohime is an electronic device invented and used by the Japanese that can emit the sound of running water and is used to cover up the sound of using the toilet.
The reason why Otohime is used to "cover peoples ears" is that Japanese women are very concerned about others hearing their voices when going to the toilet

When a foreign female tourist used "音媫" for the first time , I was moved by such a humanized design. It seems that not only Japanese people are sensitive to "sound", but foreign women also care about it.
Public toilets in most countries now have diaper changing tables, but there are still few changing tables. The changing table is an evolution of Japanese toilet design. Not only children, but adults can also use it. It is very convenient for women who want to change clothes without getting their feet dirty.
