She Pee's a big relief
January 19, 2005 - 2:36PM

Women, rejoice! One of the last bastions of gender inequality is about to be banished and with it the long, long line for the ladies' loos.

And while it might not be every gal's cup of tea, the organisers of this year's Big Day Out concert in Melbourne reckon the girls-only urinal will get a standing ovation.

The Shee Pee, as its affectionately known in Europe, will make its Australian debut at this year's Melbourne event in a bid to cut loo queues and offer women a more hygienic option to conventional toilets.

And while organisers agree it might take some a little practice, they believe women will quickly adapt to the idea of peeing while standing.

"After the huge success of the female-only urinals at the Glastonbury music festival in Britain last year, we thought it was definitely a service that women at the Big Day Out in Melbourne would really appreciate," Big Day Out promoter Vivian Lees said.

The Shee Pees concept works thanks to a disposable, leak-proof paper funnel which gives women the freedom to stand.

The funnels can also be used to avoid sitting on conventional toilets, which will also be provided at Melbourne's Big Day Out.

The funnels, called P-Mates, are distributed in Australia by Small World Enterprises.

Company spokesman Kees de Jong said it was "simple to use" with pants, skirts and dresses, however P-Mate hostesses would be on hand to offer guidance where it was needed.

"The P-Mate is a convenient, hygienic, discreet solution to the long queues and other problematic circumstances which confront women, particularly at large events," he said.

The Shee Pee and P-Mate were first used at music festivals in the Netherlands and featured at the Glastonbury festival for the first time last year.

Big Day Out organisers said the stand-up option could be rolled out across the country if the trial is successful at Melbourne's January 30 event.

Big Day Out festivals are held across Australia every year in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

Is it just because they are all standing up to pee that they look like dykes*, or am I missing something?

*No offence to women who like women intended. Just-- damn. You know, sit down like you're supposed to.

Well, they're not exactly the most feminine looking women, certainly not by GAF standards. The sleeveless woman in the second picture made me initially suspect there was a spy amongst the group.

Guys can have multiple orgasms to you know.

 

[StoOgE]

Guys can have multiple orgasms to you know.

Well, this thread just turned out to be unintentionally embarrassing.

I saw a joke about this on SNL's Weekend Update a couple years ago.

So, what, they give these funnel things out there and have to have the different stalls or whatever as well? Is that really more efficient?

Wait, why am I taking this seriously?

 

[Triumph]

My roommate's GF had one. She worked for a tree limb removal service and didn't want to have to squat down if she was out clearing limbs and brush all day. She figured all the guys could piss standing up, why not her?

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Wasn't there another website for these things that had a hilarious flash tutorial?

 

[Mama Smurf]

God, even the women are checking out each other's sizes.

EYES FORWARD PEOPLE!

 

[kumanoki]

Girl on the right: (Maybe I should let mine grow out like hers.)
Second from right: (Where do I throw this thing?)
Third from right: (Why is the girl on the end looking at.....owe mie ghod!)
Fourth from right: *Grunt*
Second from left: Mmm-hhmmm. Mmm. Hmm. (Shut up! Shut up!)
Girl on the left: Oh wow, this is so cool! I guess guys can't talk now, can they? I mean, picnics! Yes! Could you have imagined that just last month we only had one bathroom option? Sitting down! Is this great or what?!

 

[Powdered Toastman]

Another great Dutch invention.

 

[Jeffahn]

Is it re-usable? Looks maybe a bit too bulky for a handbag.

...

 

[The Bookerman]

These girls all look very manly to me.

 

[ElyrionX]

God, even the women are checking out each other's sizes.

EYES FORWARD PEOPLE!

:lol

[MrPing1000]

all we have left is the fact that we can't get pregnant. I fear that won't last long though.

 

[Minotauro]

Ugh, what are they going to do with all the used ones? Can you imagine the amount of trash that's going to generate at an outdoor music festival? Jesus, I feel bad for the cleanup crew.

 

[Property of Jumpship]

I have female friends who proclaim their ability to pee standing up.

Those are dudes. Hate to break it to you.

 

[tedtropy]

I don't know, there's just something unseemly and decidedly non-feminie about a woman using a urinal to take a piss. Call me old school, but I think we should embrace the differences between genders...

 

[Suerte]

Now we just need a device to allow men to pee while sitting down....!

 

[tedtropy]

Now we just need a device to allow men to pee while sitting down....!

I hear this upcoming whacky device will allow just that!

And here I've just been taking my feces and flinging it at traffic...

 

[Mama Smurf]

Yeah, but now we'll KNOW they were all just talking in front of the mirror and there was no "queue" when they take hours in there.

Oh man, whoever invented that is genius. I bet it uses Cell and Blu-Ray technology, right?!

 

[tedtropy]

Dude, my toilet has...get this...two bowels. Teh innovative pooping!

 

[J2 Cool]

What the fuck is this? A fucking umbrella, colorful piss pots. The whole benefit of pissing while you stand is to just get it over with. These women look like they're in a liberating fucking piss parade! Look at the girl hugging the wall! Damn hippies.

 

[Lemurnator]

:lol :lol :lol

I would not want to use that invention.

As long as the toilet is clean I don't mind sitting down to piss. I wouldn't be comfortable pissing right next to other women. I would also be afraid of spillage, not to mention how nasty this would be if they were reusable.

It seems like more of a hassle than just sitting down to pee.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

What the heck?!

 

[RobotChant]

Those are some disturbing images.
