Found this in an oil lube shop's bathroom. I've seen pictures of them but never installed and not with a tank. I guess it goes to show my age but it might bring back some memories for the old timers.

I don't get it. Do they sit on it or what? If so than why have a womens' urinal in the first place if they still sit on it to use it? Weird. I've never seen one either. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for that plumber bill. I could see this being difficult to use with pants on and trying to get over and pop a squat. Pretty sure that we won't ever see a wall of these working out to well, being they would never be used. Unlike the dudes who are inches away pissing. Ladies will never go for that. Speaking of squatting I have a question. I guess I should start a new post about it.

That's true

I've met a couple of "lot lizards" back in my wild days that wouldn't have a problem with it.. But you said ladies

Lol

Come to think about I had to escort a drunk chick out of a local bar I use to bounce at for using the urinal in the men's restroom.

Keep it classy girl!

I remember in apprentice school the instructors mentioning women's urinals. And I asked what the heck was is and why would women ever need such a thing. They couldn't answer,but did say that's why you don't see them anymore.

How uncomfortable, I would rather squat in a field of poison ivy then use that dumb fixture. And believe me you have I used unknowingly a field of poison ivy to relive myself years ago, bad, bad decision!:cry: of course alcohol was involved in the decision process.

I did a little study on this a while back and although i cant remember the source, i'd share it if i could, i read that one of the major factors to the demise of the female urinal was the up and coming fashion of wearing pantyhose. who knew?;)

I worked on an old building that was built as a bordello in the 60s but has remained empty and in it's original state. It had two flush valve type women's urinals in an upstairs bathroom. A few years back it was burned to the ground in a wildfire.
