If there is one thing that is true about society, it’s that men have it way easier than ladies when it comes to going to the bathroom.
No matter where you are or what you are doing, men can just go whenever they please — no long lines, no waiting, no hassle.
Out in nature? Being a guy is like having a golden ticket.
Men can relieve themselves practically anywhere because it’s, well, convenient. Meanwhile, most women would agree that this is the kind of freedom we can only dream of.
Not to mention, when you’re at a concert, park, or a music festival, the ladies’ line is twice as long as the men’s.
It can just go on and on, always and forever.
For years, women have longed for the same simplicity that men enjoy in these situations.
While some men might need a stall, many can just use a urinal and be done in seconds.
Women, however, have never had this kind of luxury.
Because, let’s face it, society seems to love making women’s lives just a little more complicated, doesn’t it?
But now, thanks to one brilliant innovation, women are finally getting a piece of that convenience.
That’s right — female urinals are officially a thing!
These new designs have been popping up in public spaces all over France, especially in response to the lack of public bathrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With fewer places open for restroom use, women needed a practical solution.
Enter the Lapee urinal, designed for women and nonbinary individuals. It’s ideal for anyone who needs a quick, convenient bathroom option but doesn’t want to endure endless lines.
Or, let’s be real, for those of us who are totally fine with popping a squat and moving on with life.
The Lapee is an absolute game-changer for today’s world.
According to Gina Périer, French architect and co-founder of Lapee:
“Lapee fits perfectly with summertime and COVID-19 hygiene regulations. It can be installed just about anywhere. It’s designed for any place where there’s a need for safe and hygienic solutions for womxn to pee.”
Honestly, how has this not been invented before?
Of course, some people had concerns about cleanliness.
“You can easily spray [Lapee] with vinegar or other disinfectants. It functions as one monolith so the whole cleaning process doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes,” Périer explained.
She also added: “The material that Lapee is made from is very durable, it can last for many many years even if it’s being sanitized every day,”
If you ask me, that’s pretty much the best news ever.
Another common question was about toilet paper.
Ladies need to wipe, right? So, where does the tissue go?

Lapee has a designated area for garbage, which gets emptied regularly by professionals.
And what about washing your hands?
There’s a metal compartment in the middle of the urinal that holds hand sanitizer. Plus, let’s be honest, most of us carry our own sanitizer everywhere these days anyway.
If you’re like me, you’ve got it covered!
The Lapee is the ultimate solution for concerts and festivals.
Anyone who’s ever been stuck in a long bathroom line at a crowded concert knows how much time it steals from the fun.
The Lapee is literally the best thing for these types of scenarios.
