I know this is common behavior but what do you girls do? I was cleaning restrooms at work and these two girls went into a single stall restroom together and I found it odd.
Do you use the restroom in front of eachother and take turns? Are you doing makeup? Deciphering texts from crushes?
I find it a little odd yet fascinating. It’s different for guys. Me personally, I wouldn’t be that comfortable having a guy friend in the stall with me while I was using the restroom. It would feel really weird.

I want to clarify.
At my work there is a single stalled restroom for women, meaning there’s only one toilet. I see women go in together often. Not with children or anything because that makes sense. But like teens and young women.
What do girls do when they go to the restroom together?
For a variety of reasons, girls frequently use the same restroom together; these reasons have more to do with social conventions and camaraderie than they do with anything covert or enigmatic.
Going to the restroom in groups can increase comfort and safety, especially in crowded or strange settings. Knowing they are close to someone they can trust may make women feel more secure.
Bathrooms can be used as a place for bonding activities like chatting and private conversations. Girls might use the brief gap to talk, exchange ideas, or just hang out with one another.
Using the restroom together can be efficient, particularly during gatherings or outings. Because everyone can use the facilities at once, there is less waiting and the group can carry on with their activities unhindered.
Women frequently lend each other personal goods like hand sanitizers, tampons, or makeup to help with practical restroom issues. The presence of a friend nearby can aid when seeking guidance or support.
Cultural and social conventions also have an impact. Women using the restroom together is common in various cultures, and many people do it on a regular basis.
It's crucial to keep in mind that everyone may have different motives for using the restroom together, and not all girls do so. In the end, it comes down to a personal decision that is influenced by social considerations and the need for companionship.
The main reasons girls go to the bathroom together
Girls often go to the bathroom together for a few main reasons. Firstly, it provides a sense of safety and comfort, especially in unfamiliar or crowded environments. Secondly, it allows for private conversations and bonding time with friends. Thirdly, it can be more practical and efficient, as everyone can use the facilities simultaneously, saving time and allowing the group to continue their activities uninterrupted. Lastly, women often assist each other with practical matters like borrowing personal items or providing support. These reasons, rooted in social norms and companionship, explain why girls frequently go to the bathroom together.
To Gossip
While gossiping may be a reason for some individuals, it is not the main or exclusive reason why girls go to the bathroom together. Gossiping can happen in any setting, and the bathroom is not specifically reserved for it. The primary reasons for girls going to the bathroom together include safety and comfort, private conversations and bonding, practicality and efficiency, as well as assistance and support. These reasons focus more on creating a supportive environment and maintaining social connections. It's essential to avoid generalizations and recognize that each individual may have different motivations for going to the bathroom with friends.
To Dress Up
Even though dressing up may not be the main reason, it can play a role in why girls occasionally use the same restroom. Girls frequently use their private bathroom as a place to touch up their makeup, improve their appearance, and alter their attire. Having a reliable friend or group close by can provide you access to tools like hairbrushes or mirrors, a second opinion, or help. Before going back to social settings, individuals have the opportunity to make sure they look their best. It's crucial to remember that not all girls dress up in the restroom, as everyone has different habits and preferences.
Why do girls take so long in the toilet?
For a variety of reasons, girls may take longer to use the bathroom. First off, women frequently engage in more complex personal care rituals including styling their hair, donning makeup, and dressing. The time spent in the restroom may increase as a result of these extra chores. Second, delays may occur in women's restrooms due to larger lines or insufficient amenities. Last but not least, some ladies can cherish their privacy and prefer to spend some peaceful time by themselves in the bathroom. Individuals differ in their habits and interests, therefore it's critical to keep this in mind while making generalizations. Everyone's needs can be respected in a friendly environment if there is patience and understanding.
Going INTO a bathroom together is one thing, but going into the same toilet stall (where there usually isn't a lot of room for more than one) would raise even my eyebrows. It is usually associated with gay doings. If they want to talk they can stand by the door of the stall and do so. Who wants anyone to see someone take a poop/pee? That is just weird.
@DubiousIntentions my friends and i do it all the time its not weird its normal and we turn around its not like were staring into each others eyes that would be weird
If they are really close friends they might do that. Or maybe they are lesbians. Never know these days. But normally girls like to go to the bathroom together to talk, do makeup, hair, fix clothes, change clothes (if they have to), use the toilet, and so on. There are girls who will go in together sometimes if they are close and need to change and/or need help from their bestie. I helped a friend of mine in the dressing room before but not in the restroom. I have gone to the bathroom with my mom or little sister before though. And in the past my friend Angela and took a shower together. I've taken baths with my female friends when I was younger and my little sister. I've held the door for girls before, but that's from the outside. If I have a friend that I'm close to and she or I dont have to use the toilet but instead change, I wouldn't mind sharing a stall to change together. The bathroom is like a batcave with estrogen. It's like this magical place when you go with your bestie. When you go alone, it's just the loo. But when you take your friend, it's like batman and robin in the batcave doing something important. You need your bestie when you go to the bathroom, I used to have a bestfriend.. now I dont. Wish I had one haha. I'm like a batman with an alfred.. alfred is like the king of besties.
Share tampons, pads lol. It's just a girl thing, it's everywhere like this, not just the restroom, girls like doing stuff together that men would feel awkward about. girls at my work they go into the restroom because they have a break at the same time so they were washing hands together before they go, or it's the only place supervisors can't see so they can chat and get away for a few minutes. ur a man so of course it's confusing. it's same way how ladies get confused why guys draw penises everywhere.
@Tyffen Well at 16 guys are very curious and unaware of many boundaries. While girls are very self conscious, but still even at that age most of them would feel the bond with other girls over girly stuff.
@Tyffen ok public changing rooms are a different case from school lol. for starters they are mostly adults and second they are strangers, not a bunch of kids spending hours and hours every day in classes. there is no bond in public pools unless a bunch of friends go there lol. even then if they are adults most likely they will have developed the respect of boundaries, or if they are men the last thing they would want to see is another mans penis lol. women would not care about seeing a naked woman.
@Tyffen showering naked yes but still they are just doing their own thing and I'm sure most of them are respectful. I am from Europe so I know what you mean. ;D still it's not the same like a bunch of random guys get together at the pool and be like ''let's all go shower naked together''
Clearly if two women walk into a stall together they're doing inappropriate things! Jk. We take turns going pee of course! Normally when you walk into a bathroom with another woman it's to keep company for whatever reason, make up, keep chit chatting while the other goes pee etc... It's only weird for men cause they have this weird man code thing.
Lmao she was probably holding her dress or something I don't know thats hella weird. I wctually wouldn't go in a bathroom with another girl UNLESS we’re friends/fam and we see our crush nearby. We run in the bathroom to make sure the other looks ok before her crush sees her and of course we gossip
Girls are the most honest in bathrooms, stories they tell will break your heart or crack you up. Either way, you cry together or laugh together and that’s fun.
We don’t typically go in the same stall well at least I don’t that’s too much for me. However we just talk about things and sometimes we can say something in private that we might have not been able to say publicly with whoever we’re with. We could be saying super nice things or could be talking shit depends on how the situaron went.
usually i take my friend with me to stand in front of the door bc i don't like when people knock or don't see that the door is closed , but i would never let a girl go with me inside that's even more awkward watching me pee , i would also take my friend to chat or just fix our makeup or clothes

Women are usually pretty open when it comes to this. Yes we are taking turns while talking and helping out with the clothes we wore undoing and doing snaps, hooks, buttons in weird places for one another and no not in a sexual way. But if you are out with girls and they go to the bathroom together they are most likely talking about who they came with, who they wish they came with, who they are leaving with and who they wish they were leaving with. Girls do all sorts of things when they go to the bathroom. Sometimes but not always especially if we are drunk and feeling freaky there may be some kissing going on. That last part is the poor girls equivalent to I experimented in college/university with other girls.
Going in the stall together is very strange to tell you the truth, but yes girls do go to the bathroom together because it fresh in up. Also to check if we look good, nothing on our close, fix out hair, make up, help each other out, and whatever. Also to chat. It's a girl thing and that's what most of girls and women do. Personally, I prefer to go in alone.

I don't go to the bathroom with others I'm a loner i go in do my business then I wash my hands with soap and water and dry them then I leave and if I see people taking photos of themselves in the mirror and I know they will capture me in the background I turn my head or cover my face some people have zero respect for others privacy
usually we just talk in there but i was always taught to go to the bathroom with girl friends simply because it was dangerous for both them and you to be left alone. pack mentality and all that
I don't really do this, but it's also super rare for me to use a public toilet. If I do it's because there is safety in numbers. Bathrooms are closed off scary places. Having someone with you just makes you feel safer.
Usually talking about the guys that are with us, but we also could do a bit of make up touch ups. We also take pictures and reattach loose bra straps 😂
Might be for shaving each other down there :-D kidding... Girls generally do that for chit chating. And when they r kids they r obviously taught to do so for security reasons.
