Peeandgo, The Lady Urinal with a Splash of Gold

You may be forgiven for thinking it's toilet week here on Giz, but how could we not show you this? The Peeandgo, designed by Chen-Karlsson takes its inspiration from traditional squat urinals in Asia and the Middle East, and I'm guessing its *ahem* provocative shape is designed to stop splashback. There's no info on pricing, or indeed on whether that's real gold, so it looks like a design prototype. It's nice to see a rethink, and a bit of luxury devoted to the oft-ignored porcelain things in the bathroom, but, ladies of Giz, do you think this design is actually convenient nowadays?

Cute Elephant Robot Drinks Human Urine

Those crazy inventors over at Mertec in Japan have recently unveiled their newest creation—a robot elephant designed to clean urinals. The man behind the unique design claims that the elephant theme came to him because he imagined the trunk as "a powerful reversal of the urinal drain." The idea of reversal is even represented in the robot's brand name "DCBA" (ABCD). Mertec claims that DCBA can clean a urinal in 10 seconds and save 8 liters of water in the process. All I know is that if I ever travel to Japan and see one of these things patrolling a bathroom, I'm keeping my junk tucked safely in my pants. [Impress via 3yen]

Crazy Singing Clown Urinal Makes Us Go HAHAHAARRGHHSTOPDOINGTHAT!

This Japanese mechanical urinal in Osaka is an all-laughing, all-singing clown with a huge mouth. Yes, you read that well: it sings and moves up and down as you pee in it. And it has teeth. I know. After seeing it in action, I found it so wrong on so many levels that I had to put the video after the jump for other sensitive souls like me. More »

Gloo Urinals Inspire Good Aim, Bad Taste

You don't have the ultimate bachelor pad unless you own a urinal. And as long as you're going all out with the theme, the urinal might as well glow like the slutty fluorescents of a cheap motel sign. The Gloo urinal is built from plastic and filled with LEDs, at last bringing the same style we see in the Aurea to your urea. Of course, the $655 price tag may make you wet yourself anyway.

For those looking for more practical toilet lighting solutions, check out this little gadget. [philipwatts via techdigest]

Folding Installable Home Urinal Provides Class

Nothing says luxury housing like a folding home urinal, which is just what you can get when you pick up one of these from Mister Miser. Not only is it great for people who hate wiping their pee off the toilet seat, it's great for conservationists as well—it only takes 10 ounces per flush. Ten! Plus, it's so space efficient, you can install one in every room of the house, meaning you'll never have to walk that extra 25 feet to the bathroom again.

Piss-Screen Urinal Game Discourages Drunk Driving

Forget the Wiimote, this humble German-engineered device houses a racing game controlled by your powerful stream of urine. Designed to promote taxis as an alternative to drunk driving, the Piss-Screen shocks drunkards with a brutal car crash when they inevitably ram their virtual roadster into oncoming traffic. Apparently if you're too drunk to play a video game with your junk, you're too drunk to drive home. Don't have to pee? Try the web-based game, which isn't limited by your bladder volume.

WACOM Urinals, Disturbing Even if Fake

At first glance, the self-explanatory "WACOM" urinals seem like a good idea. Featuring a built-in LCD display, hands free operation, and the romantic musk of blue sterilizing cake, all the elements are present for those special times when a man needs his...relief. But then you notice the monitor is displaying a child's drawing and you begin to worry for society, yourself, the guy who did the Photoshop and the poor souls at Adobe who probably feel like they were part of The Mahatten Project II.

Panasonic DL-GWN Toilet Seat Lights Your Pee-Path

Panasonic makes a foray into the useless toilet seat business, trying to sell this Panasonic DL-GWN device that lights up a bull's-eye in the water at which to aim your stream. Its light has a dual function, also warming the toilet seat, which we can tell you from personal experience is a highly desirable feature, especially in winter. More »

Peter Potty: Training Urinal

Why is it that all those potty training toilets for our sons are of the sit-down variety? Because women control the world, and are biased against men who mark their territory around the toilet while stand-up peeing. Well, boys, no longer will your son have to suffer the indignity of peeing like a girlie. Meet the Peter Potty, the toddler urinal. It even has a flush system—fill the top reservoir with water and empty it from a tray on the bottom. Which is useful, assuming your two-year-old can pull down his pants and undies, grab his wee-wee and manage to get any of his pee into the basin without being distracted by the Wizmark Interactive Urinal Communicator you put in the there for fun.

Flushless Urinals Receive Awards, Save Water

Thanks to the laws of physics and some good old ingenuity, there's no need to use water to get rid of liquid waste any more. Even though it sounds gross, flushless/waterless urinals received a 2006 Award for Design Excellence and have been endorsed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Best of all, if just 10% of conventional urinals could be converted to waterless, 200 billion gallons of water could be saved each year. More »
