How to pee properly ?
The challenge of keeping women's restrooms clean at festivals
The thousands of attendees using the same restrooms makes them unsanitary. The lack of regular cleaning exacerbates this situation. Festivalgoers are then in a constant struggle to find a safe, usable place. The nauseating odors, the dirty surfaces, and the trash littering the floor!!! Yuck... It's a real ordeal and a danger to our health.
An endless wait when you have to pee
Endless queues are another reality of public restrooms at festivals. For women, these lines are much longer than for men. Sand doubts this because the design of the urinals encourages faster turnover among men.
Waiting long periods in the sun or rain for a basic convenience isn't just frustrating. It can also cause stress and discomfort. So, we refrain from hydrating to avoid having to deal with these urinals. And then, another danger awaits us: dehydration and urinary tract infections, not great!
Urinal hygiene, shall we talk ?
While safety and privacy are major concerns in restrooms, undressing and risking squats in no way guarantees that our legs or feet will be spared from drips and splashes. Ugh, just thinking about it… The result: we generally leave dirtier than when we went in. But why do we have to put up with this ?
The solution for women: pee standing up !
Finally, female urinals !
Faced with these challenges, innovative solutions have emerged, including the female urinal at festivals. These devices, designed specifically to meet the needs of women, are starting to make a name for themselves at major events and festivals.
Women's urinals, such as MadamePee at Rock en Seine, are temporary installations designed to reduce queues and offer a more hygienic alternative. These devices are often robust, easy to install, and easy to maintain. Their open design allows for rapid turnover, thus reducing waiting times.
In terms of hygiene, these urinals are designed to be cleaner than traditional toilets. Festival-goers don't need to touch surfaces to use them, which significantly reduces the risk of contamination. Furthermore, the materials used are often easy to clean, allowing for more efficient and regular maintenance. Some even collect urine to make fertilizer, not bad, eh?
Urinating while standing : THE revolution for female autonomy
Among the solutions offered, the stand-up urinal (or female urinal) stands out as the practical accessory that is revolutionizing the way we use public restrooms, including even the female urinal at festivals. The stand-up urinal, also known as a female urinal or urinator, is an essential feminine accessory. It allows women to urinate while standing, offering unprecedented freedom and convenience.
Thanks to this ingenious female device, you no longer need to worry about cleaning or health risks related to bacteria. A 2018 study by National Geographic showed that using female urinals at festivals significantly reduces the risk of bacterial contamination. This product provides significant health protection while ensuring our comfort throughout the festival.
In other words, adopting this essential portable urinal allows us to avoid unwanted germs while gaining freedom and peace of mind. The urinal is much more than a practical accessory : it becomes essential protection that ensures optimal health, even in a bustling environment like a festival.
It must be said that the advantages of the female urinal at festivals are numerous.
• First of all, it avoids direct contact with dirty toilets, which is a major advantage in terms of hygiene: women can urinate without having to sit down or touch potentially soiled or contaminated surfaces.
• This completely reduces the risk of infection.
• There's also less stress associated with using unsanitary toilets.
Long live the reusable female urinal !
The female urinal, especially a reusable one, is an environmentally friendly option.
It had to be invented, whether for a party or not, and it's done! Made in France from recycled and recyclable polypropylene, it's stylish, lightweight, and can be easily stored in a handbag or pocket. It's simple and intuitive to use, with no risk to your health, fingers, or shoes. Have you heard of the marinette®? Its great specialty: you can use it without even undressing! We'll tell you more about it below...
The Ease of Use and Comfort of Female Urinals at Festivals
Learn to urinate standing up with Ease
Who would have thought that one day we'd be so proud to be able to urinate standing up? The ergonomics and simplicity of the portable female urinal make this process easy to achieve. We quickly master this skill, transforming our festival experience. We forget about waiting in line for the toilet or uncomfortable squatting. Using a urinal is simple and practical, helping to reduce restroom queues. Thanks to it, the festival experience becomes more pleasant and less stressful for women.
Finding the perfect urinal made easy
The major advantage of a female urinal must be its perfect fit. First and foremost, choose one that perfectly fits the shape of the female body. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with silicone urinals, especially models from Asia. Leaks are common. Quite the contrary, with the Marinette®, safety is optimal during use. Its secret? It's suitable for all female body shapes.
Its design and material, half-soft, half-hard, ensure a leak-proof seal, preventing any unpleasant overflow or leakage. This way, you can enjoy the festival without the hassle of peeing incidents.
Since some urinal models come in several parts that require self-assembly when you need to urinate, choose based on ease of use. No woman wants to do the assembly without a clean table to place the various parts, then disassemble the accessories to rinse them when you're finished using a urinal to pee standing up. Opt for simplicity !
In short, going to a festival with a urinal is an excellent idea, and we tell ourselves this every time we have to urinate! So, peeing standing up with a Marinette® represents a step forward in terms of comfort, safety, and equality between men and women. By using this potable urinal, women avoid the dangers of dirty toilets and can pee standing up, even outdoors, without risk. It's also easy to rinse if there's no tap nearby: just use a little bit of water from your water bottle. And remember, the marinette® allows you to pee standing up WITHOUT undressing.
Portable urinals and environmental sustainability: we love it!
Would it be too much to ask that our choice of sanitary accessory contributes to the preservation of our beautiful planet? The reusable female urinal stands out here for its positive impact on the environment, unlike cardboard urinals, which can be used only once and represent waste. It is an emblem of sustainable ecology and a champion of recycling.
• Reusable, because once purchased, it will be useful for years.
• Harmless, and for this reason, it is better to choose a polypropylene urinal, which is very lightweight (17 g), hard-wearing, environmentally neutral, and harmless to women. We find silicone urinals quite heavy to carry and a little too soft for a leak-proof seal. Furthermore, you must ensure that the silicone is of high quality, manufactured to French or at least European standards.
• Eco-friendly, because using a reusable portable urinal helps reduce festival-related waste.
• Educational, because using a urinal at an event is an excellent way to educate other women about sustainable development and the possibility of urinating freely.
• Recyclable : When it comes time to replace your urinal, remember that if it's made of polypropylene that meets French standards, it's completely recyclable!
So, ladies, don't hold back your urges! Choose this practical and environmentally friendly solution to combine personal hygiene and environmental friendliness.
