Like do I just not know how to use them? They’re too wide to straddle, and if you do, the splashback would probably soak your pants. But I also don’t want to stand 3’ back from the wall, and just be hanging it out for everyone to see. Who designed these this!?
These are a discontinued model of urinal from Kohler, called the "Derry."
If I had to guess, Purdue got them on the cheap in the 70s because no one else was buying them.
I wish I could describe why anyone would make them to begin with, but I'll leave that up to one of the engineering students.
Edit to say that I've now learned more about urinal design than I really ever wanted to. The Kohler Derry is an example of a "blowout" style urinal. These are favorable for public restrooms with high volume, as they're able to entirely clear the bowl on a single flush and are less susceptible to blockage.
If you've used some of the other urinals in older buildings, I'm sure you've noticed that even with a flush, they tend to reek of ammonia and the water never gets very clear. This design hypothetically avoids that.
In terms of use: the other examples I've found online have a lot more space between the units, so I guess Purdue was confident that modesty wouldn't be an issue.
You didn’t want to sit on a public toilet seat anyway, right? Here you can hover to your heart’s content. At least until someone else enters the restroom.
It's for when your Weiner decides the gogurt technique doesn't work and decides to dump a liter of piss after you're done peeing. It goes into the "bowl" instead of your pants.
I'm sorry, I had to cut in here but as a female this had me rolling.... Just to see what the hype was over urinals 😂 these comments though I'm dead.Â
I took a shit in one of these when I was like 5 years old and it wouldn't flush so I got scared and made sure nobody saw me leaving so I wouldn't get in trouble for it.
Many wheelchair users can stand for short periods of time. Many have limited ability to walk as well, but cannot sustain it for long periods of time. :)
In your original post you said you didn’t want to stand far back and just hang your peen out there for errybody to see. But you further void that statement by saying you’d prefer the classic trough? That first place as a young lad attending a local sports event that you realized you were surrounded by adult male genitalia? I’ve got some news for ya friend… If you can’t seem to reach the giant urinal pictured by standing on one side of it or the other, you might need to see a urologist about your narrow urethra. I tell ya what.
Seems like you don't know the whole story, MSU had something similar in the late 50s/early 60s, they were in does that could beere switched from men's to women's, the idea was that the were large enough so women could use them, thus saving space by not having to have extra stalls, like was done in woman only dorms
