hey i am doing a college assignment and i am wondering
if you think there should be a space in public showers (such as gyms, hostel swimming pools) to keep your towel and cloths dry so that you can get dressed in the privacy of your shower, and don't risk slipping on the wet surface to stretch out and get your towel?

feed back would be Greatly appreciated..

thanks

You're kidding, right? You think people are going to carry all their clothes into the shower and get dressed in there? And what about someone who wants to go to the sauna as well?

No, I'm quite happy to stretch out my arm, grab my towel, wrap it round myself for the ten steps or so it takes for me to walk back to the dressing room where I can get dried and dressed in comfort.

A shower is for washing, not for dressing. The dressing room is for dressing.

Sorry but we'll need your sex, age, height, current weight and goal weight before we can help you on this one. Also post up a typical day's food intake! :pac:

I have used subdivided cubicles, shower plus dressing space in a few places. They can save space in high turnover areas eg

campsites - no lockers/benches provided, not monitored area so it prevents things being stolen, keeps you a bit warmer when the main door is open too.
fun swimming pools - in places like this you get banks of lockers away from the showers, lots of families so privacy for parents changing kids. From a management point of view it stops people hanging around too long as they just want to get out of the poky cubicle, don't need separate men/womens.

They are horrible to use, but in some places they have a function.

I would hate them in gyms or hotel swimming pools. I would expect these places to have good sized dressing rooms, where I can get changed with plenty of space in front of my locker and decent benches. The showers would be held up all the time if people were getting changed in them too.

Most people wear flip flops so they don't slip. And where there's no hook for towel in the shower, most people just feck it over the door. I've only been in one place where there was a shower curtain in the last five years.

As for privacy, no one is actually looking at anyone elses wobbly bits in a dressing room.

Seriously, no. I've stayed in a lot of hostels etc where they do have a sort of cubicle thingie beside the shower, and it's always miserable. Unless you are the first user of the day, it's wet, and by the third user, it's dirty because people are putting on shoes in it.

Perhaps for a campsite where the shower block is the only heated building, it might work, but otherwise, you're going to double or triple the size of the plumbed in area, with no real benefit to the user.

Anyone who has met me knows I have plenty of wobbly bits, but I'd much rather wrap the towel round myself, walk to a proper changing area and get dried and dressed there than struggle in a hot damp shower stall.

I regularly consume my post workout meal of steak, milk and eggs and rice in the shower and thus a towel near me would be useful to clean the mess i make in the shower :pac:

Otherwise, i fail to see why this is a nutrition forum query?

Hahaha, I'm reminded of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer installs a waste disposal in the shower.
