Possibly one of the greatest innovations in the bathroom. The urinal allows guys the speed and convenience that is lacking in the toilet. However, it’s major flaw is the ricochet onto the pant. How do we maintain the convenience of the urinal, while avoiding the spotty embarrassment that we weakly blamed on the sink?
Almost all urinals are roughly three sided. The problem is that most men just blast away at the back wall, which places them directly in the path of the ricochet. Here are three solutions to avoid splashback:
- If you aim for the sides then the splash goes across to the other side instead of back at you. Keep in mind you are aiming for a narrower target and the guy next to you might be bigger than you.
- If you do fear hitting the guy next to you then what you need to do is stand slightly to the side and shoot towards the back but at an angle. This sends the ricochet to the far side or out past you (since you are slightly to the side).
- If you have the benefit of the urinal that goes to the ground, then just fire at the back but down. The momentum will carry the splashback down and not back out.
Although I think the urinal system could use some further innovation in order to eliminate this problem, we have to deal with what we’ve got.
