powder rooms
Small visitor restrooms
A powder room is a small bathroom for guests, typically containing only a toilet and sink—no shower or tub.
The term is a genteel euphemism, originally referring to rooms where women refreshed their makeup (powder).
Where's the powder room? remains a polite way to ask for the bathroom, especially in someone's home or at formal gatherings.
