Feministing is a veritable smorgasbord of links today, but I'm starting with this one, to a new product purporting to be a portable urinal for women. What's it called? Wait for it...
A feminal.
Yaaaaack.
The thing is purple and plastic and holds up to four cups of urine. It's designed so that a you can pee "in a reclined, seated, or standing position."
Who wants to pee while reclining?
I was also disturbed by the explanation of how it works: "When the feminal is gently pressed against the body, the unique shape creates a leak-proof seal." The leak-proof seal definitely sounds like the kind of thing that could end very badly.
On the other hand, I suppose we've all had moments in life when we would have wept with relief, even if presented with a "feminal."
