How it's used
Refers specifically to functional spaces in sports or recreational facilities where people change into athletic gear or swimwear. Avoid using this for retail stores, where the term 試身室 is the standard choice for trying on clothes.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 試身室, which is exclusively for trying on clothes in a shop. Using 更衣室 in a retail context sounds like you are looking for a place to change your entire outfit rather than just checking the fit of a new item.
