A women s urinal has been created by two ex-University of Bristol students, which they claimed was six times quicker to use than a conventional loo.
Amber Probyn and Hazel McShane designed the hands-free Peequal because they were fed up with long queues for the ladies toilets at festivals. No funnels are involved and it s semi-private, you can t see anything from the waist down, said Ms McShane.
A prototype is being trialled at the Bristol Comedy Garden at the weekend.
