    It used to be that a lot of public women's restrooms, especially along the freeways, had stand-up toilets. They didn't hang off the wall like that one, though, they were like a variation on the regular toilet only without a seat, with a longer, narrower bowl, and with pointed edges on the ceramic around the bowl to discourage anyone who tried to sit down. Boy, was I glad when those started disappearing.

    A much better solution would be disposable funnels that directed the, er, "stream" to the right place.
    And as a male, I apologize for the unfairness of the gender disparity in our plumbing. I humbly lift (and then carefully close) the toilet seat in a porcelain salute to all of you ladies for cheerfully enduring this inconvenience for time immemorial.

    You will find female urinals in many buildings where the war effort went on. GE Lighting in Nela Park (Cleveland Ohio) has many of these.
    I've none an untold number of women who can pee in the woods when camping. Using a female urinal would be cake for any of them I assume. Dresses, shirts, jeans...
    Hint for some of our younger male readers... If you are aware you miss the target often sit down to pee when at other peoples houses, like your new girlfriend's place, or where your friend who might harass you will notice. We have been commenting on one of my friends inability to target for 20 years now!

    @justsomeotherguy:
    Marriage is where a man has to sit down to pee in his own home. Don't even thing about arguing over it. It's not something worth winning. In other news, I get so much more reading done now.
    This reminds me of many japanese public toilets, which are set into the floor and designed for you to squat over.
    Regarding public toilets, many females absolutely do not want to touch the rim and try to hover over the seat. If this urinal doesn't make that procedure easier, then fail.

    I swear I am not making this up. There was a toilet that I used once which automagically covered the seat with a paper cover before every use and disposed of it after. I just can't remember if I used this in an asian country or if I dreamed it up...

    That looks very awkward. Apparently in pre-WWII Japan there were standing female urinals.
    Really though, I don't see the point. It's just a toilet with zero privacy - they could just as easily use a Western or Japanese style toilet without a cubicle if they wanted to (but who wants to?)
    Meh, urinals suck anyway. Who finds it enjoyable to pee shoulder to shoulder with strangers, standing in a sticky puddle of dozens of other people's drips?

    @fuchikoma: At least a urinal isn't a trough.....I hate places (like the ballpark) that just has one big long trough for everyone to share. I still prefer my urinals to have that mini-divider.

    No matter how creative they get (I've seem at least half a dozen different female urinal ideas), it just won't work...
    First of all, we would need to completely change women fashion.
    Weird jeans designs or pantsu-less skirts comes to mind.
    Then, they'd need to get used to pee side by side.
    Even then, I think I'm still missing something...

    Am I the only guy turned on by the fact that females would use this?
    I mean, if I walked into a women's bathroom on accident like I did in the 5th grade, I'd totally come out happy instead of embarrassed.

    @Curves: There really wouldn't be much straddling. If you had pantyhose pulled down, your ankles would be pulled together, while trying to hold up your skirt and waddle up to the urinal. Sounds like a serious accident waiting to happen...
