feminine.

1/ je fais ma toilette = I am washing myself. (familiar)

le chat fait sa toilette = the cat is cleaning itself.

2/ elle a mis sa plus belle toilette / ses plus belles toilettes : she put on her best-looking clothes. (old-fashioned sense)

3/ où sont les toilettes (plural) = where is the loo / the lavatories / the ladies - gents

same meaning in the sentence "aller aux toilettes" : I need to go = j'ai besoin d'aller aux toilettes.

for the thing you do your number 1 and 2 we always say it is plural: les toilettes

if you just go take a shower or clean up, it is feminine (and higher French): faire sa toilette

The word "toilet" is feminine when translated from English to French. Depending upon context and the speaker's birthplace, it translates into French as the feminine singular toilette or the feminine plural toilettes. Either way, the pronunciation will be "twa-let" in French.
