Urinal, the other white porcelain. Discuss.

I never use them.

What's the deal with flushing them, anyway? Seems like urinals could be just as effective with a smooth pipe connected directly to the sewer. (I believe there are some urinals like this in desert areas.)

Also...

I'm a female. Never seen any female urinals (if they exist) in my area.

To see why urinals flush, Max Vance, pee in your sink for a couple weeks without running water and see how it ends up.

Sounds good to me. Since it's national toilet month, we must give our toilets a break, and do our business in either the sink or bathtub. XD

What? I recommend we pay tribute to the toilet by cleaning it, rather than avoiding it.

I'm not particularly fond of urinals, as even with their sloped grades, the impact of a liquid stream moving at high velocity almost always causes some degree of uncomfortable rebound. They are certainly space effective, however.

What's with Kojinka being all like "I'm a female." in all these threads. It's not like females actually need to do things differently.

Well, this is the URINAL ~~thread~~ theard, so it makes sense here. And don't bring those devices from ages ago into this!

There are female urinals in Japan. Or so I hear.

Is that so? I was just preemptively combating mention of certain unspeakably unsettling siphons someone was trumpeting a while back (probably Lizard Dude, probably in #TMK).

To paraphrase George Costanza, I've always been a stall man.

There's actually a type of urinal that uses no water.

I personally prefer the urinal to the stall, as it's easier to make less noise. I do however dislike the ones that jut out from the wall, removing all privacy.

I only opt for a stall when there are no partitions in between urinals and they aren't the type that gives much privacy.

I'll take a urinal if it's an odd number of them. One, three, five, whatever, as long as there's at least one urinal between you and the other guy. That is the #1 rule of bathroom etiquette. If that option is not available, I'll take a stall. But my preffered option is in the bushes.
