Pee whiz! Pollee, a urinal just for the ladies | Crave - CNET

Quote:

So far, the big triumph of the PeeBetter project is Pollee, a prototype urinal for the gals. It debuted this summer at the massive annual Roskilde music festival, where notoriously long bathroom lines have held up women for hours. UiWE says it best: "Pollee is an open air, touch-free urinal made for a semi-squat position." It can handle four women at a time compared with a traditional toilet's inefficient quantity of one. It also features the clean, rounded lines of contemporary Danish design.

No, just, no. I will do anything to avoid public restrooms, this is 100 times worse.

Uhm...yeah...

There are just certain things I don't need company for, thanks.

**Emmaline** · 07-20-2011, 04:53 PM

No.

**Ann Launay** · 07-20-2011, 04:53 PM

Do not want.

Chalice Yao · 07-20-2011, 04:55 PM

While I agree that it's a little..uhh..too cozy for my tastes, I like the idea in general. If they made it larger in circumfence and added a kind of sort seperating wall, I'm rather sure it would work well.

EDIT: ...and add proper walls around it.

It would make more sense to just put in more stalls, imo.

**Ann Launay** · 07-20-2011, 04:56 PM

I don't understand why they think it speeds anything up. You still have to do all the clothes rearrangement to use it. And what about TP? Are you just supposed to air dry?

That'd take up alot more space and especially plumbing (and/or water or containers). At things like festivals you often don't have enough for either, and I'd rather have this than not enough toilets.

Besides....no, uh, horrible solid stains and smell on this. Normal public toilets at festivals tend to be DO NOT WANT because of misplaced fecal matter.

If they could add some walls (and from the pic it doesnt look like it would take up too much more space) then you could fit 5 ppl in a space that would usually fit only 3. On top of that, you would only have one water source which helps cut back on water (if it works like I think it does) so I can see the appeal but not without the privacy.

oh just get one of these and use a guys one!

wiggle three times, wipe with your hand, leave without washing your hands. Like guys do. (why I don't like shaking hands at business meetings)

That's a rip off of the original magic cone! You need to watch the how to use animation.

True, which explains my aversion to public restrooms. Hmmm what about children? Or really tall/short women? I wonder if "misfires" would be the norm. The floor could be rather nasty.

I'm better about being okay with public restrooms than I used to be, but there is just no possible fucking way I'd go into this nasty assed group squat toilet.

Johnnie Carling · 07-20-2011, 05:37 PM

I'd rather find a bush.

Ann Otoole · 07-20-2011, 05:42 PM

wear a long flowy hippie dress. nobody will know you are pissing in the grass.

(unless you go "ahhhh" and let your eyes roll up)

I have this mental image of the flow deciding to take its own path, go down my leg and wind up in my shoe. So, no.

I'd rather have one of those plastic doodads and an opaque container.

**Aisuru Rieko** · 07-20-2011, 08:51 PM

One of a long list of good reasons not to go to festivals.

Rodeejah Urquan · 07-20-2011, 09:30 PM

Eh, I wouldn't mind. It's a prototype after all. suppose they'd need more feedback before unveiling the final version.

Then again, I have no problem with public restrooms in general :>

Roxanne Blue · 07-20-2011, 11:09 PM

And, yet, the guys keep telling me women like to go to the bathroom together
