Women's urinals for shorter waiting times

Two young designers have solved the problem of long queues with the new "LaPee" urinal, which makes it easier for women to go to the toilet at busy outdoor events.
You know right away where the women's toilets are at festivals. You can recognise them by the long queues and the slightly tense faces of those waiting outside the doors. To put an end to this, two designers Gina Périer and Alexander Egebjerg from Copenhagen have developed the "LaPee" urinal.
More efficient and safer
In contrast to conventional mobile toilet cubicles, LaPee offers space for several users at the same time. The pink recyclable plastic helix-shaped structure with curved backrest contains three urinals, increasing its efficiency sixfold compared to standard cubicles.
Not only do urinals shorten waiting times, they also promote gender equality: "There are no such women-only facilities. The absence of urinals for women has a significant impact on gender equality, especially at outdoor events", explains Gina Périer. While men can urinate easily and quickly, women don't have it easy with conventional outdoor toilet cubicles. Nor are bushes a satisfactory substitute.
