What Do They Mean By Six Times Quicker

[Canary42]

Apparently this women's urinal allows them to pee six times quicker.

Go for it girls ;-)

P.S. The "visible top half" feature existed in France for men for years (I've used one myself).

Less time in the queue?

[Mamyalynne]

You've misread it Canary, the whole visit is faster not the actual urination time.

[bednobs]

It means that the whole experience of going to the loo is six times quicker. I dont get what you don't get?

[andy-hughes]

Canary - you do appear to have failed to grasp what the invenstion does - it speeds up the process of visiting the toilet, the amount of time urinating does not alter, because it can't.

[Canary42]

How does it speed up the time of visiting ?

I can only conclude it's because of the visibility, and the queue can see whether they're actually peeing or not. So this implies that women usually spend five sixths of the time in the loo in other activity than peeing. So they've only got themselves to blame for the queueing.

[sherrardk]

There doesn’t appear to be any ‘flushing’ involved - maybe that’s where the time saving is?

[THECORBYLOON]

"Research shows that in the UK women spend 34 times longer queueing for public loos than men do.
...
The reason the queues are longer is because there are, on average, 10 male urinals for every ladies’ toilet."

If they can more toilets in the same space as that used for the current ones, the queues will move faster.

[Jackdaw33]

That's what I would have thought. Surely the speed at which one can visit the toilet is purely dependent on the number of cubicles available.

[wolf63]

I don't fancy trying one. I have problems with balance and coordination. I would fall over.

It is a good concept though and I wish the girls well in their ventures.

Posters are asked to mind their pees and queues.

[pastafreak]

Not recommended for older knees.

[Sam1960]

And it looks like you need to bring your own loo roll !!

[Mamyalynne]

I think we're into drip dry territory :-)

[Sam1960]

lol x

[jno]

the visible back half feature surely exists in British men's toilets even now?

[dannyk13]

Hate to think what today's ECB would have made of Fred Trueman in this age of wokeism.

[William51]

It is a good idea, but would it be alright if you suddenly want to do a number 2 ?.

[bednobs]

Well what do you do if you're standing at a urinal and that happens William?

[Cloverjo]

The new cubicles look to be about the same size as ladies’ cubicles that are in indoor sites now. I can’t see how more can fitted in the same space.

I thought they were going to be put up outside like the male pissoirs in France. That would be more useful. It’s annoying that men can wee in bush or on their car wheel while women usually have to cross their legs and hope.

[douglas9401]

Yeah, we live the dream Cloverjo. :-)
