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...
Theard

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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinal#Waterless_urinals) 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.

Suddenly, Glorb's custom title makes even more sense.
