Got questions? We’ve got answers!
Explore our comprehensive Q&A section where we address common queries, provide insights, and offer expert advice.
WHY IS IT PINK?
Because it is an easy colour to spot, surely one of the most important factors when you urgently need to pee? The Lapee pink stands for celebration, fun and
empowerment.
WHY SQUAT AND NOT SIT?
It is not a conventional toilet. It’s a urinal – for wee only. Hovering (squatting) is quicker and more hygienic. You don’t need to clean the seat with paper because there isn’t one. It combines a mini workout while peeing! Work it girls!
WHY IS YOUR HEAD / UPPER BODY EXPOSED?
It is designed in an empowering way so the critical bits are not seen but women are still able to look out. No more surprises to unexpectedly find someone standing there when you open a toilet door. No more trouble with toilet door locks that don’t work (giving both user and prospective user a shock when someone pulls open the toilet door).
HOW MANY TIMES CAN IT BE USED?
The 1100 litre tank in the base of the unit can hold anything between 3500- 5000 “uses” before it needs to be emptied. This all depends on averages and will vary from event to event, weather conditions, whether alcohol and caffeine products are being served etc. Of course, if it is sited over a suitable foul sewer it can be used without the need for emptying.
IS IT ONLY MADE FOR FESTIVALS?
Indeed not. It is made for anywhere there is a need for a safe and hygienic place for women to pee: where we see male urinals, women in the long queues for the toilets etc. These situations are all too common at music festivals, sporting events, marathons, parties, outdoor fairs, street food events, beaches and so on. Lapees are even found at refugee camps in trouble spots and disaster zones around the world
WHY IS THERE NO TOILET PAPER HOLDER?
We’re promoting eco awareness. It’s a hover / squat urinal toilet only, so there’s no seat to wipe down with yards and yards of toilet paper. If toilet paper is provided or you have your own personal roll handy, there’s a hook for a waste container / bag for paper and/or the disposal of sanitary products
CAN MEN USE IT AS WELL?
No thanks! There are plenty of other facilities for the boys. This is only for girls and those people who need to hover or squat to wee.
WHERE CAN I GET ONE?
At Squat to Pee we rent out of Women Urinals, we will transport and set up the urinals, making the process quick and easy for you!
