Types of Changing Rooms
Various types of changing rooms exist.
- Changing stalls are small stalls where clothes can be changed in privacy. They are used for swimming purposes.
- Locker rooms are usually gender-specific spaces where clothes are changed and stored in lockers. They are often used for swimming or other sporting purposes. They are open spaces with no stalls.
- Fitting rooms, or dressing rooms, are usually small single-user cubicles where a person may try on clothes. These are often found at retail stores where one would want to try on clothes before purchasing them.
- Green rooms and trap rooms are usually mixed-gender backstage or under-stage changing spaces found at theaters and other similar venues.

Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
Shellacked with silk and light
The hard legs of our women.”
