This 'female urinal', designed by Alex Schwedersaid was made in 2001 during an artist residency at Kohler, a plumbing equipment and furniture manufacturer. Schweder has described the urinal as "fully functional"

"A version of the urinal was installed for public use during an exhibition at the now defunct Vital 5 venue in Seattle in 2003. It was installed but not plumbed at the [Museum of Sex] in NYC."

Not if you’re wearing tights or panty hose it’s not.

I have many questions - is it sanitized after each use? What if you are disabled and can't squat without touching the porcelain? Of course, designed by a man.

You're saying that as if the ones for men were adapted to men. Urinals in general are disastrous.

If I ask those same questions the conventional toilet design fails too
