SO. This is the Pollee, a “urinal for girls” designed by Danish company UiWE. With the dividers, 4 ladies can use the Pollee at once.
The Pollee hasn’t hit any sports bars yet, because it’s still in prototype, but the company has already developed 3 models with varying levels of privacy: Pollee Shy, Pollee Topless and Pollee Naked. Naked? Really? I guess if you’re wearing a romper…
You kind of back that thang up into it, I guess.
The Pollee aims to reduce the wait for bathroom lines and offer women a method of peeing that’s a cross between private and public.
Well, we’ve already seen the P-mate, that thingie that lets you pee standing up. If the Pollee gets developed, urine for a surprising new bathroom experience!
Would you pee at a “gurinal?”

Erm… my bladder is far too shy for this to be okay, lol. I’ll stick to a toilet in a stall for the foreseeable future.

nope. i don’t understand why a girl would want to use a urinal anyway. for us, we can’t aim, and it’d sure as hell be disgustingly messy.
guest
if it’s in public, no thanks. if it’s in a closed bathroom… yeah, still no thanks.

The way it’s designed you’re pretty guaranteed not to pee yourself. And plus, stalls are NASTY… girls trying to hover and make it gross. How’s this different?
guest
Well, that’s awkward.
guest
no joke, i have had many a bad dream in which the only available toilet was something similar to this.
soooo no i won’t be using this.

Urine in… hahahaha. Good one. haha Eew, I don’t think I’d use it in a bar though.
guest
toilet paper….?

@hisprincess_selah@xanga - I guess you shake it off, like the boys do?
guest
?
why do people assume women want to pee standing up? do these same people think that women have penis envy?
I would not use that thing. That is grosser than the scary squat toilets I remember encountering in Germany. This picture is better than some where you walked into the bathroom and there was a big hole in the ground with footprints where you are supposed to place your feet. I hope they don’t still have those. OMG. I won’t even describe the grossness I am imagining about that girl urinal thing.
guest
….I suppose it would save you the trouble of using a toilet seat cover. So do you just like…. hover over it? Like your at some awful gas station bathroom? O.o?
guest
@Jessica - ….. we can’t shake and go like boys! XD
I’m not a big fan of something like this, gotta say. Lines suck, and call me spoiled, but being in your own stall is now part of the bathroom-going experience. I don’t know that I’d be able to pee comfortably knowing that some crazy lady or a curious little girl can just peek around and start talking to me or poking me. (I don’t know, people are crazy.)

@bittersweetromantic@xanga - Sometimes you have to just go with the flow.
guest
seems unsanitary and wayyy too close for comfort.

WTF? This is gross.. I don’t want ppl seeing me pee and I don’t want 2 see other ppl pee.
not to mention when girls have periods n stuff, seriously u want that in public? Or SMELL it in public?
guest
@hitomineko@xanga - why would it smell any worse than regular toilets?
guest
Oddly reminds me of those old fashioned Japanese toilets you have to squat over. The only difference is you don’t have to squat as much.
guest
sometimes I feel that there isn’t enough privacy at regular bathroom stalls because there’s a tiny crack near the door or the lock is flimsy so there’s a tiny hole there, so if women are waiting in line or checking to see if the stall is taken, they might peek through the cracks
or some women look underneath the stall to check if the stall is taken, but sometimes it still feels violating. I prefer the bathroom with actual wooden doors for more secure privacy. I’d never use these urinals. they’d probably still have pee droplets on the seat. and easier for creepy peeping toms. ughhh~

no thanks! i like a lil privacy!
guest
@hitomineko@xanga - Lol that’s a very good point…
guest
It’s not like anyone else would be looking at you, they’re taking care of business themselves. Men use urinals and it’s possible for other men to see them so who cares? Y’all need to get over this “no one else should see my vulva” thing because nobody would look at you for real. I’d use this, who the hell cares
guest
Uh…ew? There’s all sorts of problems with this. The very reason that urinals are so accesible for guys is due to the way their underwear is designed FOR the deed. This is just…erm, no. Who thought this was a good idea again…?
cherry blossom / 28 posts
I kinda like the idea minus not having toilet paper. I see lots of infections in the future..
guest
Who wants to pee in public? or even semi public? Where are the consumers they are making this for? Cause I sure as hell don’t know any females who would use it or even consider it. What happens when you’re on your period?
I guess changing your tampon in public is normal? Get reallllll.
guest
It’s not going to help with wait times….girls still take longer to pee! We have to pull out bottoms down, sit (or hover in this case), pee….wipe….wash hands….It won’t cut down wait times, just make our vaginas more public.
guest
I can barely pee if someone is in the stall next to me…. so…..no.
guest
Ew, no thanks. I prefer my stall. I also think its weird that guys pee infront of each other.
guest
Thanks, but no thanks…
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - I second you

My ass is too fat for that. Sorry.

@catastrophic_surveys@xanga - well… I don’t know if it would smell worse then reg toilet or not.. but I guess at least reg toilet have stalls to block the view & the smell from spreading..?? = =‘’’ So the restroom might smell bad but once you go out, you don’t smell it anymore. but if it’s in a public area, then I would think that the surrounding would smell it whenever someone is using it.
guest
Squating like that is really hard on my bad knee and about 90% of the time my knee collapses while squatting, that would be a horrible mess.
Other then that I wouldn’t mind it, peeing isnt that big of an issue.
Can I lean on the thing?
guest
I’d welcome it instead of a porta-potty at a concert or something. I’d rather not touch anything if I can help it…
guest
I can this working in Europe, but not in the US.
guest
So glad I’m not in Denmark and probably won’t have to use this myself. I don’t need to cross my private business into public, sssheeesh!
sunflower / 264 posts
@XoAsianBabioX@xanga - seconded.
guest
lolwut
guest
Ummm… Just because I don’t have to close a door doesn’t mean I’m going to be urinating any faster…
guest
Finally, they’ve found a way to make going to a public restroom on my period a little more awkward.
I do appreciate pulling out my bloody tampon for an audience.
guest
Uhm, no thanks. I’ll stink to my good old fashion toilet in one stall. = _ =
guest
How fucking stupid.

@Jessica - or drip dry.
guest
i like toilet paper. and lmao i love how it appears to be in a park! i like doors too!
guest
@enterthelabyrinth@xanga - Girls take longer to pee because they choose to. I know some girls who are able to pee just as fast as a guy because they don’t do whatever the hell else girls do that takes so long…
I (mostly jokingly) have a theory about why girls intentionally take so long to pee – because if it takes them 5+ minutes to pee then it will be essentially impossible for a guy to tell if she was in there taking a dump instead.
guest
Where’s the toilet paper supposed to be in the photos? We have to wipe!
guest
@mynotebooks@xanga - lol! Exactly!
guest
yahahahahaha
guest
This is the most awkward thing ever.
And by the way, I wish I could have that much fun while peeing. Geez.
guest
Looks like that will hurt you’re vag.
I’d rather stick to my regular toilet.
guest
I just feel like it would be easier to rape a woman in that park with that toilet chillin there.

Once women learn to pee standing up using the finger-assist method, it will be possible to pee in a urinal.
