I suddenly realize, though, that I can't ever remember seeing a bathroom door anywhere on any USS Enterprise or similar.

Like, wouldn't there be one tucked away in a back corner of the bridge, or a corner of a room or passage adjoining the bridge? Shouldn't we see a bathroom door, or at least the open entrance to a "bathroom corridor", as the characters do a walk-and-talk down the hallways?

And then... regular TV shows show women putting on or taking off their makeup in the bathroom mirror, people having a conversation through the shower door, someone in a stall overhearing a conversation by the sink... has Star Trek ever shown that?

What the heck does a bathroom look like on Star Trek? And the bathroom signage?

Visually, it's on the bridge of the Enterprise D [0][1]. Everyone else has to use a bucket [2].

Son of a gun, they did put one tucked away in a back corner on the bridge!

Thanks.

Not that it looked distinctive in any way, so you'd never notice:

But I am honestly amazed they did it at all.

Star Trek has "sonic showers": https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_shower

And for other bathroom activities: One can imagine creative use of the transporter. Although: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIsauNJ392o

There is a bathroom door off the Enterprise-D bridge labeled HEAD. And the official deck plans have a second bathroom off of Picard’s ready room. But those are the only official ones.

The Battlestar Galactica reboot had a few scenes in the locker room/shower/toilet area. Pretty spartan, but probably familiar to anyone who served on a navy ship.
