    Yeah… like me. And they were built with my anatomy in mind.

    Urinals will never be real toilets to me because they don’t accommodate all forms of relieving one’s self.

    I’m also not crazy about squat toilets, but that’s more of a personal preference.

    (PS, I’ve seen people with vaginas use a urinal. It’s a neat trick, but it highlights how needlessly exclusive they are.)

      I remember watching some kind of healthy sex show on HBO probably 20 - 25 years ago, and there was a segment about how the Germans had created this folding cardboard urinal tool for vaginas to easily pee at the urinal. I thought it was pretty rad back then, but I haven’t kept up with if that thing still exists - due to a lack of personal need. I hope it does still exist. It needs more marketing. I’ve never seen a used cardboard personal piss-trough abandoned at any music festivals though so I think I’d likely be disappointed to hear the truth of the reality surrounding this.

        There’s a product called the shewee, same thing but it’s plastic or silicone and reusable. My ex wanted one since she always had to pee and it made lots of road trips uncomfortable for her, she also had knee issues so squatting was difficult. She was so excited to try it out she peed with the toilet seat up that night.
