Borrow

If I want to use someone else's toilet, are these both correct English?:

-Can I use your toilet?
-Can I borrow your toilet?

Thank you.

'Toilet' is a bit too direct and graphic for many native English speakers. I suggest: Can I use your bathroom/washroom ? They cannot be 'borrowed' unless you carry a couple of large pipe wrenches with you.
