A version for men has been developed (misterPee 2022) based on the same characteristics as the madamePee urinals: no contact, no water, no need for connection to the sewer. [14] In 2022, a European standard on "mobile non-sewer-connected toilet cabins" has been adopted and published in 2023 by AFNOR. It states the requirements of services and ...
Waterless urinals can save between 15,000 and 45,000 US gallons (57,000 and 170,000 L) of water per urinal per year, depending on the amount of water used in the water-flushed urinal for comparison purposes, and the number of uses per day. For example, these numbers assume that the urinal would be used between 40 and 120 times per business day. [4]
The requirement to use a cubicle rather than a urinal means urination takes longer and hand washing must be done more thoroughly. [3] [4] Females also make more visits to washrooms. Urinary tract infections and incontinence are more common in females. [3] Pregnancy, menstruation, breastfeeding, and diaper-changing increase usage. [3]

Anogenital distance (AGD) is the distance from the midpoint of the anus to the genitalia, the underside of the vagina, the clitoris or the scrotum. It is considered medically significant for a number of reasons, in both humans and other animals, including sex determination and as a marker of endocrine disruptor exposure. [ 1 ]
A urinal, urine bottle, or male urinal is a bottle for urination. [1] It is most frequently used in health care for patients who find it impossible or difficult to get out of bed during sleep . Urinals allow the patient who has cognition and movement of their arms to urinate without the help of staff.
In a location without longer term sanitation infrastructure, such as for emergency sanitation, a trench latrine is a workable solution. It typically consists of a pit or a trench in the ground, 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) deep and 4 to 20 feet (1.2 to 6.1 m) long.
Urinals in public toilets are common in Western countries but less so in Muslim countries, partly due to Islamic toilet etiquette rules. Urinals for females exist but are rare. Urinals can be with automatic or manual flushing, or without flush water as is the case for waterless urinals.
