"She-pee" urinals relieve Glastonbury
Equality.....at last!

LONDON (Reuters) - Female revellers at the Glastonbury Festival will be able to enjoy this year's show without straining their bladders -- courtesy of stand-up urinals.



Organisers have installed two sets of the urinals around the main Pyramid stage for the exclusive use of women, complete with "concierge" attendants to ensure a dignified experience.

Key to the arrangement is a special, anatomically shaped funnel to be handed out to each user.

"There are plenty of places the men can go and have a pee when they're right in the middle of the festival and not near some of the proper toilets. These are the female equivalent of that," said a spokesman for the festival.

"It's equality for women, basically."

1. Um...speaking as a non-woman...is it possible to be comfortable doing this
Just asking.

According to Toni Morrison (Song of Solomon) it ain't!

7. I wonder if it's some guy
that thought this up. Just build more bathrooms.

I could see a few accidents with that contraption.

Remember when they brought back a menstrual thing that fit inside the woman's vagina, well let's just say that a few woman had some pretty bad accidents with that too.

I think it was called menstrual cup.

Being a woman can be complicated.
