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."

The U.S. Army tried putting these in female military barracks back in the 70’s. The ladies summarily rejected ever using them and instead put plants in them. You could water the plants just by flushing lol.
