Well, we wouldn't. JKR hasn't given us even a glimpse into that 
particular bastion of male privacy. The closest she's allowed us is 
the Quidditch changing rooms. (No, I don't think the prefect's bath 
counts. That room struck me as a unisex facility.)

Regarding the larger question–what's to keep them from employing the 
Magical form of The Pill? The Weasley Twins use "double-ended, color-
coded chews" in their Skiving Snackboxes, so the Magical world 
doesn't have to rely on just potions and unguents for medicinal 
delivery systems. The Pill is a product of  organic chemistry.  
Potion making is essentially organic chemistry. 

I have to side with Jeff on this one. Mechanical methods are just 
so...Muggle.
