> but the problem with that is: when you manually play music in there you indicate you are going to do something embarrassing! I'm honestly not sure how big of a problem that is. What else would you go to the bathroom for, then pee or poop?
Drugs, obviously
Instead of white-noise or music, why not play the sounds of people using the bathroom? You know like, peeing, pooping, farting, chatter, moans and groans. This way our own noises become indiscernible from the background noise.
This is nightmare material.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Won't reply to all the strawmen at the bottom of your post, but I and lots of people don't care what people HEAR while we're using the bathroom.... its a bathroom for god's sake! Everything happening in there is normal and I'm not sure why you are imagining yourself to be "vulnerable" inside a locked private room.
I’m willing to bet 50% of people in the U.S. get anxious when having to do their business in a public bathroom. Doing your business next to a stranger in Tevas with hobbit feet and a serious gastro intestinal issue is nightmare fuel for me.
Looks like the actual number is somewhere closer to 2.8% - 16.4% of people [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28554367/]. (This study was specifically about "shy bladder" but that seems a pretty close proxy)
What was wrong with the sound princess? That's exactly the same product.
Loodio plays chill music and requires no interaction. Plus it has the night lights and the display, which I want to make larger and have other features planned for it.
> How else are you solving this problem? The tech companies I've worked at have started to build "gender neutral" bathrooms. They are a fully locked/enclosed rooms with sound proofing, i.e. no gaps at the bottom of the door. Sometimes you need to take a long session or maybe are not feeling great in the bathroom department (Probably TMI) and it's almost as good as WFH.
Wouldn't that be SFH?

> I tried all existing solutions like the Sound Princess from Japan and other chinese crap on Amazon/Ali but they were not up to the task Just how loud is your shit? Maybe just ask your coworkers to put on head phones.
Yeah, definitely 0/10 on the awkwardness scale.
