HOLLAND - Coming soon to a festival near you: mobile urinals for women. The new WC3 mobile urinal was inspired by the P-mate which allowed women to urinate while standing. MoonZijp, the original inventor, thought of the innovation while traveling in Indonesia in 1988 and found the area short of toilets. Back at home, she worked on perfecting what would become the P-mate: a cone-shaped receptacle from a firm, leak-proof material. The pouch can be folded and put in a woman's purse until needed and then discarded after use. The new model will allow 16 women to urinate at the same time while standing and is being tested at several events around the world.
