Found this in This Old House magazine: The home urinal. Why? ” The Lloyd Residential Urinal puts an end to the age-old battle over the toilet seat…” Yes, and what housewife wouldn’t rather have a urinal in the decor, complete with deodorant cake and a shelf for your beer?

Actually, I think this is a great idea…and will end the trade of blackmarket commercial grade urinals overnight!

Decor aside, housewives with smallish bathrooms will not want to give up ANY space to something she can’t use herself. And why would men want the additional expense?
Also, the ad photo is probably misleading (no scale) but that looks like a damn small target. Doesn’t bode well. Doesn’t bode well at all.

Urinals use less water to flush than toilets, so there’s a practical reason for having them, other than the seat cover conundrum. On the downside, it’s just another thing to clean frequently in the bathroom.

I work with an author who’s wife gave him a urinal for his birthday. He had it installed in his garage, a man’s paradise.

It’s not just functional; it’s a conversation piece as well.
I know a man up in the Hollywood Hills who has one in his master bath. I think he uses it a lot — and I mean a lot.

Urinals: for men who can’t deal with complicated devices like toilets.

Ooh…Andrea sounds jealous that she can’t use one!

I can’t possibly put into words how much I want one. I’m actually weeping.

Mumblix Grumph: congratulations, you are officially a Male Threatened By A Woman’s Humor. And by the way, I have used a urinal. I got all the cigarette butts too.

When my folks built their dream house in 1962, they put a urinal in the boys’ bathroom. With four boys in the house, it was a great way to get more efficient use out of that bathroom. And it was a great conversation piece. My mother did complain, however, that sloppy shooting on our part ruined the terrazo floor.

I am definently putting one in my basement! I already have the pool table and due to my house plumbing drain going out at about an 18″ height through the wall it is the only simple way to avoid the trips up the stairs while shooting pool.
at least for me, my wife will still need to go outside….
