My dad, is double incontinent. if he goes out, and we have to bring some pull-ups in case of accidents, which bathroom (men or women's) should we go to change him at if we (mom and me) are women?

    Women's if you can't find a family bathroom. But in a women's room, everyone does their business behind another door so most of the users will be understanding. In a men's room they are out in the open and the users (and you) would be uncomfortable.
