She-inal
If you have been directed here from the ten minute thread click here.

I was doing research for a story I am working on and I came upon the She-inal. Though I am confused how this contraption works. Apparently its a womans Urinal

Looks like some kind of weird torture device.

It looks like they have some kind protective paper, you know like what they have for toilets seats, for this thing. Its seems unsanitary.

I think a hole in the floor would work better for a woman than that thing. Although, I've seen video footage of women peeing standing up, so maybe they could use men's urinals.

Gohn, it should be fairly obvious how the She-inal thing would work. "Funnel-like device" doesn't give you a clue? And yes, it is very unsanitary. With this design protective paper probably wouldn't really be practical (it could get quite messy in fact). A disposable plastic shield might help but it would still be very unpleasant. I for one am very glad that She-inals never caught on.

Yea, I figured it out. For some reason I kept think that they had to sit somehow, but now I realize that the whole purpose is to do it standing up.
She-inals = one of the worst inventions ever.

The curiosity bug has bit again. May I ask why your story would require research in this area? I hope you weren't planning to torture any of your female characters with this contraption or similar ones.

My story has nothing to do with the She-inal. I was just researching urinal designs, for a scene in a bathroom. I just happened to come across it and found it interesting.

Darn! I was hoping it did. Do you mind if I take a stab at coming up with a story involving the She-inal when I have a little time?

Thanks. It will probably be a while before I get to it but I'll let you know when I do. I haven't posted anything on WF for a while so maybe this would be a good “comeback” piece.
