Do you remember that urge to pee when there is no toilet nearby? And this festival, where you had waited after 50 people to accede to the throne? Let's face it, we've all dreamed of being able to pee standing up! Good news, standing piss is THE accessory, and I tested it for you …
I checked, even little Larousse didn't want us to be able to do it, defining the urinal as follows:
kiosk or sanitary facility designed to allow men to urinate
Standing pee: a societal public health issue
If I ask myself the question of “to pee as a woman”, it is not unrelated to the news.
For several months now, we have been living in masks, disinfected, gloved, sneezing in our elbows and living with stocks of hydroalcoholic gel in whole cans. When I returned to the office and to the cafes, I was startled by this absurd logic: wearing the mask continuously for all, systematic hand washing, intensive scrubbing of each surface …
Meanwhile, we women continue to put our buttocks cheerfully on the bowls, in all serenity, zen and quiet.
Can someone explain to me !?
It was the opportunity or never to take the plunge and find an alternative that is practical, clean, ecological, and adapted to our anatomy. If like me you've ever tried standing up to pee, we both know it doesn't work. Certainly, it relieves, but it wets.
So I went to a search engine and typed in: "pee-standing-woman". Three days later, I received my precious: the standing piss …
Standing piss: the revolution is underway
Reusable Piss Standing from Passage du Désir:
Crash test: peeing standing up and feeling powerful
I realize for the first time this symbolic movement of all male power. Grasp a mouthpiece in your hand, aim at the bottom of a bowl, head held high, chest straight, proud.
I am teleworking, absorbed by my article. I've been wanting to pee for the past hour, and like every time I'm focused, I delay the moment until my bladder is full. Passage of mail, I stop and open to the postman (if he knew).
I unwrap the package, and discover a pretty light blue box that fits in my hand. Inside, a sort of tube to insert into a funnel. At this moment, I have a smile on my lips that reaches up to my ears …
Neither one nor two, I put the rigid mouthpiece in the funnel and check the label one last time (my first time up, you understand …)
“Hygienic, ecological, compact, reusable, practical standing piss”? These words are beautiful promises, I decide to test the thing immediately.
No doubt : the elongated part of the funnel is placed on the vulva, surrounding the area that starts from the top of the clitoris to about 2 cm below the vagina. I position the urinal, stand in front of the toilet, cast off!
Pause. The only thing that could cause a splash is my laughter: I am performing for the first time this magical movement symbolizing male omnipotence. Grab a mouthpiece in your hand, aim at the bottom of a bowl, head held high, chest straight, proud.
I feel a very strange inner surge of omnipotence. Obviously, I was gifted with talent, no drop is to report (and incidentally, I had a giggle and everything is fine).
Message to you man: you could REALLY put in an effort, even a woman can pee standing up without leaving a wet toilet.
Could this be a tactic to make us bitch? On this point I will conduct the splash penis investigation, I will keep you informed.
In short, after having relieved my bladder of the equivalent of a full jug, I take out the standing piss, close my fly, case closed!
Conclusion: practical, ecological, useful and sustainable!
Hygienic:
- No buttocks resting on the bowl, very useful in doubtful places, public toilets and on camping holidays! In the process, you will avoid an uncomfortable half-standing / half-squatting posture like a squat.
Convenient :
- You just have to place the wide part at the level of your urethra, in order to perfectly marry your privacy. No more need to lower skirts, pants, tights, panties, gaiters and squat with the anguish of an unpredictable passage from behind … Let us also think of pregnant women, after an operation and of each person with a disability in an armchair !
Compact:
- Once in the box, the standing piss does not take up space! To slip into the handbag in case, before a night out in a bar, during a trip with friends, a hike in nature …
Clean and hygienic:
- After use, just rinse the pissed upright and store it in its pouch. In the absence of a sink, a disinfectant wipe or a handkerchief soaked in water will do the trick!
Eco-friendly and sustainable:
- This model is endlessly reusable, but there are also disposable product versions.
Good for health :
- Refraining from peeing is bad for our perineum. Save the perineum, wee as soon as the urge is there.
My opinion : Just to die less stupid (and the buttocks protected from germs), this invention is brilliant and obvious when you think about it. It wasn't until the 21st century that the women's urinal was finally launched …
My practical assessment: avoid waiting for the urge to run out, the pressure may be difficult to control. Try it for the first time at home or in the shower, in order to manage the use of the product.
This model is produced in France with love, based on bioplastic. A female urinal for all the vulva in the world. For festivals and travel, but also during pregnancy or after an operation. The compact, rigid and ergonomic accessory. The feminine, portable version of the traditional men's urinal.

Women's urinal: the story
You had to be a woman to think about it:
- In 2017, Magali Challoileau had the idea of launching an Ulule campaign to create the “Standing piss”. The concept: to design a practical, nomadic, ecological and reusable object, to allow women to pee standing up at any time.
- During the same period, the first collective urinal for women Lapee was born, produced by Gina Perier, its creator. An architect by profession, she designed a female urinal in the shape of a helix and candy pink. An ecological concept since this space is made of 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, and can accommodate up to 3 women at the same time. The goal is to unclog public toilets in complete safety. These collective urinals allow women to squat down to defecate without fear of being seen! The first installation of the Lapee urinal took place in Toulouse, a first in France. Similar to the traditional male urinal, this female-friendly version may be the future of public toilets. In 2019, the Summer Vibration festival was the first party event to install Lapee women's urinals, stating “ a little wee for humanity, a big step for women ".
In summary : a practical method of use and suitable for anyone without a penis. Feminine hygiene accessories are gaining ground, and it is high time.
