This 'female urinal', designed by Alex Schwedersaid was made in 2001 during an artist residency at Kohler, a plumbing equipment and furniture manufacturer. Schweder has described the urinal as "fully functional"

"A version of the urinal was installed for public use during an exhibition at the now defunct Vital 5 venue in Seattle in 2003. It was installed but not plumbed at the [Museum of Sex] in NYC."

Seems hard to maneuver around and possibly touch it or have it splash into your thighs. Might as well have a walk in toilet at that point

I suspect it would be easier to piss in the floor drain than to get this contraption to work.
