Glastonbury: Did you find the Peequal female urinals?

[Daisydoesnt]

If you went to Glastonbury this year, did you find the Peequal female urinals? There were some near the Pyramid stage although there might have been others. Not smelly, hardly ever a queue, quick to use, oh and did I mention not smelly? They are nothing to do with me (this is not an ad) but having been dreading the thought of the disgusting Glasto loos they were a complete and utter game changer. They will be at other festivals this summer so look out for them!!

Women's urinal inventors

In about 2003 / 2004 they had African style squat toilets by the stone circle which I loved. They were for pee or poo and you had a hut / cubical to yourself.

In the day they were attended and hosed down. Not so much at night.

I was really disappointed when they were replaced the next time I went.

I am with you sparklingbrook. I watched Glastonbury on TV from the comfort of my own sofa with access to my own flushing toilet. Given the age of many of the festival goers that I saw on TV. I assumed they must be wearing adult nappies. I would certainly have to use that option if I were to attend. How do you ever escape from the crush of the crowds at a performance to even find a toilet or female urinal in time?

Is the OP connected to the company since this is a full on promotion thread. Anyone that says they don't like them gets an answer or query.

Personally not private enough for me and perhaps they were quiet because privacy matters to some?

Yes I’d be all set up in the middle of the ginormous crowd with my big bendy flag and my glittery face and daft hat, the band comes on and I’d need a wee. 😂

I used them at a different festival this year. I loved them. Quick, easy and no smell. Portaloos make me gag, you usually have to squat anyway because of all the wee all over them (and the floor and worse). These were a game changer for me.

Exactly that sparklingbrook ha ha!

Someone shit in the ones I used. And I managed to piss all down my jeans.

I've got an idea. Plenty of clean toilets for women. Including those who can't squat, need a poo, want to change a tampon etc especially at big events.

NOT telling us how lucky we are and how quick it is to use a hole in the ground with no door. GTF.

I have said categorically that I am not connected to them in anyway. Until last Friday I had never heard of them before!

No but I wish I had as the longdrops were minging 😂

I agree.

What a great idea. Why don’t you invent something, get the funding to manufacture and patent it, put it in to production, and then take it out to market where people who have actually used it really like it Which is what to two female inventors have done, in their twenties. I thought that was something positive that was worth sharing.

They look really good, I hope they see at the festival I go to later on this year.

I am a big fan of the sawdust/compost toilets but these look quick and easy to use.

This has been really interesting. Thanks @Daisydoesnt for sharing (& kudos to your forbearance with all the comments about this being a promo!)

Initially I thought, God no!

But you've explained it really well. It definitely sounds worth trying out.

Regarding the questions about who doesn't wee on long walks - me! 😀
I absolutely hate weeing outdoors and never do it. I know I'm weird. I can luckily hold it for ages.

I forgot about them when I was there and usually had a child with me! Would they by suitable for a child or would they struggle? I loved the sheepee.

👏 👏 👏 Agreed

I don’t know TBH (I never had children) although it doesn’t strike me as that different to a potty. Do you hold them over the top of a potty? Or are they strong enough to squat right down? There was a rail to hang on to which helped me especially standing up with very very tired legs at the end of the weekend.

I think for those that end up with pee on the shoes or clothes, from years of wild weeing I know you need to squat right down so your thighs are resting on your calves and backside is what, four five inches above the ground?! It’s no good if you’re knees are only at 90 degrees.

I've seen these before and think they look great. I'm surprised at all the women saying they couldn't use one. I'm nearly 60 and because I do a lot of walking, regularly do wild wees. And I'm not a gym bunny or anything. These are even easier with something to hold onto!

Invent something?! It's a toilet without the seat or the door.

My suggestion is clean portaloos. Lots. Well maintained by plenty of staff.

I see from the descriptions on here of the toilets at Glastonbury, that the current facilities are so disgusting, that some women are grateful for a hole and no door. Perhaps we could raise standards a little. If not for ourselves, then for those who would struggle.

Lol at bendy flag and daft hat.

I've observed a drunk woman squat down and wee in front of me in the enormous crowd of a main stage, straight onto the mud! She and her partner thought it was hilarious 😣

Anything that avoids queueing is a big win for me. How can you tell if they're vacant or not without popping your head round?

What happens if you accidentally poo?

@Hallyup89 I don’t know how to say this any differently, but no I am not affiliated or connected with the company in any way at all.

Have you ever been to a festival? Can you imagine what it’s like putting on loo facilities for 250,00 people in the middle of the countryside with no sewerage facilities or running water? It’s basically a series of very big fields - the site for the other 11 months of the year is a dairy farm. Do you have any idea what the toilet facilities are like? They are currently very very primitive - basically a series of massive cesspits. It stinks. The queues are very long and slow. You seem to have a hang up about voyeurism. Has anyone that used the urinals said they found it voyeuristic? No they haven’t. So you find it so hard to understand that for women that go to festivals or large outdoor events in rural venues this might be a big improvement on the status quo? And one that according to that article uses 1% of the carbon of normal loos. I live a mile up the road from the festival site, and the idea that there will be 140 less lorry trips because of the use of these loos (which pack flat, and are therefore easy to transport, unlike others) is great news.

that’s all I was doing, sharing something positive. And two such young women behind it. But you be negative if thats your thing.

Some of the sanctimonious comments on this thread 😂
Obviously people who have never been to Glastonbury!

Lifetime ban.
