A few years ago, Nathalie Des Isnards was attending a music festival with her husband David, and planning to watch her favourite group.
Before the show, they headed to the toilets. "I spent 30 minutes in the queue waiting to pee," she recalls. Much to her frustration, she missed the first part of the concert.
Meanwhile David took just "two minutes", and saw the whole show.
"I was upset. I told myself, 'We're in the 21st century, something should be done about that.'"
She set about creating a women's urinal. The simple seatless basin she devised is housed in a cubicle with roof and door, designed for faster use but also privacy. "I was not a designer. I was a user first," says the 46-year-old.
A different but important engineering challenge.

They do. For example, in my Library, there's 3 sets of restrooms, the guy's on 2nd and 3rd have 1 urinal+1 toilet. The women's has 3 or 4 toilets per floor. 1st floor has 2 urinals + 1 toilet in the guy's and another 3 or 4 toilets for the women's.
In some, nicer places, the women's restroom area, has a nice lounge area (women only), before you get into the restrooms themselves.
Just don't give your patronage to the places that have nasty restrooms and your problem is solved. Don't care about it, and they won't care about it.
