FRR: Pre-production prototype


It offers women to<br />

urinate in public spaces<br />

in a hygienic and<br />

convenient way.<br />

1. Hygiene:<br />

- no toilet seat<br />

- lady p. is a woman’s<br />

urinal, so it’s only meant to<br />

urinate and not for feces.<br />

lady p: solution


2. convenience:<br />

Ergonomically adapted to<br />

female anatomy while<br />

hovering<br />

lady p: solution


Compared to conventional<br />

toilet:<br />

Narrow front, allows her a<br />

comfortable leg position<br />

Rim of urinal is 10 cm.<br />

higher, so body weight<br />

carries less heavily on<br />

strained knees in hovering,<br />

contact- free position<br />

lady p: solution


It uses less water<br />

than a conventional toilet!<br />

Flushing of toiletpaper is no problem<br />

lady p: sustainability
