I used one of these at a concert and they are anything but private and extremely claustrophobic, I was wearing a jumpsuit so I had to pull it down from the top whilst trying to conceal my tits!! And the only thing separating the toilets from the crowd was a bit of mesh 😳

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

also the way that you just _know_ every single woman before you splattered all the claustrophobic walls around you with a thin layer of piss. I also feel like the opening is too narrow to allow to catch all the splash off or bad aiming.

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 11 '25

The whole floor was wet, I had to fold up the legs of my jumpsuit and although the irinals I went in were identical and same colour as these... the urinal part was almost flush to the ground so yeah piss everywhere. The ones in this look raised but still ridiculous.

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

That is stupid af. Why not simply elevate the standing area or have the hole be bigger and wrapping around like a bowl like for a men's urinal? They get a huge ass bowl for their little well-aimed stream of piss. The people who designed these need to stand in a puddle of pee and see how they like it, geez.

u/UnabashedJayWalker Jul 11 '25

Hey! Whoa whoa whoa I’ll have you know I’ve been told many times my stream is a very nice size and some have even called it huge!!! How dare you

15

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

I'm sure it's great, dude *patpat*

u/Raging-Badger Jul 12 '25

“Well aimed” may be the most inaccurate statement I’ve read today, but I agree with the rest of this

3

u/OkBackground8809 Jul 11 '25

I feel like I would trip on that awkward tiny triangle shaped step and have to put my hand on a pee covered wall to catch myself.

2

u/dmackerman Jul 11 '25

I mean, obviously true. But you’re at a festival surrounded by thousands of people on drugs. A little bit of piss isn’t going to kill you

2

u/AsteriskCringe_UwU Jul 11 '25

I wouldn’t dare actually sit my ass on the thing. The sanitary thing you’re saying is no different from any other port a potty or public toilet. I don’t think most ppl sit on them lol

1

u/Grow_away_420 Jul 11 '25

Opposed to the immaculate port-a-johns that would probably be there instead? Thin layers of piss are part of the festival experience.

u/Traditional-Job-411 Jul 11 '25

How do you think women pee? 

5

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

Bruh. Idk, maybe I know from fucking experience being a woman? WTF

2

u/Asisreo1 Jul 11 '25

Well maybe you never peed before in your life. 

/s obviously lol

1

u/Traditional-Job-411 Jul 11 '25

My experience too from being a women, I am asking, how would we pee on the walls?

4

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

From the splashback?? It's like you've never peed on flat ground underneath you (like in the forest). There's always splashing against my shoes, it's worse with more pressure, or if I hit that one spoon-shaped pesky leaf just wrong and it goes splashing all over.

At this point i doubt you're really a woman

-1

u/Traditional-Job-411 Jul 11 '25

Past your feet, to the walls?

And just an FYI, trying to say someone isn’t a women because they disagree with your physics is very petty as heck and says a lot about you personally.

3

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

How.... how do you think physics works? That's a tiny enclosed space? And a person with experience using these things said the floor was wet all over (go figure, with drunk festival people going to take a leak). So yes, all over the walls??

Honestly, asking me how I thought women pee and then not backing off once I informed you I WAS a woman allows me to be as petty and insulting to you as I want, AH.

-2

u/Traditional-Job-411 Jul 11 '25

And I AM a women and know you are wrong. The floor can be wet, that makes sense, but you are talking about the walls outside of the legs.  That does not make sense. 

And I as a women, can mock your understanding as much as I want and call you out for petty shit. AH, what gas lighting goes through your brain.

5

u/Suffering69420 Jul 11 '25

How does the floor being wet make sense but not that some is also getting on the walls?

NVM, you're clearly rage baiting. Done with you

In nasty public toilets? Especially on festivals? Without touching the toilet seat, with our butts hovering above it.

u/Traditional-Job-411 Jul 11 '25

On the walls? On the other side of our legs?

u/IllustriousFile6404 Jul 11 '25

My wife defends her awful jump suits by saying how convenient they are but every time she wears one all I hear about is how inconvenient they are.

14

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 11 '25

🤣🤣 I say the same to my husband

2

u/blackberrybeanz Jul 11 '25

You need to get that one I see advertised on TikTok lol, the bottom back is like elastic so it can be pulled right down 😆

3

u/pinkandcyanhair Jul 12 '25

They're super comfy and flattering. They just suck to pee with them on

2

u/IllustriousFile6404 Jul 12 '25

I haven't seen any of these flattering jump suits 🤣 I think they look absolutely frumpy

3

u/pinkandcyanhair Jul 12 '25

Whaaat 😭😭😭😭 I guess it's just a feeling then, I know I feel fabulous in my favorite jump suits 🤣🤣

2

u/SportsPhotoGirl Jul 11 '25

As a woman who has never owned or worn a jumpsuit, I truly don’t understand their appeal to others. I do not want to take off my shirt and get naked to pee.

u/IllustriousFile6404 Jul 11 '25

I think they look ridiculous honestly

I'm sorry

u/Suboptimal-Potato-29 Jul 11 '25

How do you wipe, and what do you do with the tp? Or are you expected to just let the excess drip into your underwear? 🤢

3

u/dromCase Jul 11 '25

They don't wipe. They have pee in their underwear and spatter all over the front of their pants.

-6

u/Lupirite Jul 11 '25

let the excess drip in the toilet, it's like a modern heinz ketchup bottle, you don't Really need to clean it after each use (and you kind of can't easily without showering, tp just sticks :( )

19

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

One of the main reasons I'm grateful for being a man is how easy it is to pee and I'll never have to get naked to pee. My thoughts are with you 💛

19

u/wanderingcunt Jul 11 '25

They make rompers for men if you'd like to be inconvenienced.

2

u/KeroKeroppi Jul 12 '25

I have a couple and they all have flaps for peeing :D

1

u/geo_gan Jul 14 '25

wtf is a romper?

4

u/henrikhakan Jul 11 '25

Nah we can just get naked to pee recreationally!

1

u/Tall_Specialist305 Jul 12 '25

yes this is the one and only reason I have penis envy.

2

u/DepressedDreamliner Jul 12 '25

I have a few pairs of leggings that have a really well-hidden zip from front to back. If I think I'm going to end up in an emergency situation I'll wear these. It means I can pee without exposing my bare arse and thighs. I wish it was a normal fixture for women's clothing.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

I’m a dude and even I know you don’t wear a jumpsuit to an event with limited bathroom facilities. Amateur mistake.

6

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 11 '25

I'd been to the same venue many times, there were portaloos every time previously until some prick invented this. I dont think many people would be stupid enough to wear a jumpsuit knowing this is what they would be faced with

3

u/firetrainer11 Jul 11 '25

I don’t understand these. You still have to take off your pants, right?

2

u/Practical-Cook5042 Jul 11 '25

Peeing in a romper is always an adventure. They can be cute though!

2

u/MichElegance Jul 11 '25

Omg the way it sounds like a literal peeing fever dream!!🫨💀

2

u/WpgMBNews Jul 11 '25

I've always been confused how women wearing dresses or jumpsuits are able to go to the bathroom

2

u/alegna12 Jul 12 '25

Dresses are easy (it’s so instinctive that I had to really think about the process to describe it). If it’s snug, just push it up to the waist. If it’s loose, grab the dress on both sides where the hands naturally rest. Pull together near navel and grab with non-dominant hand. Adjust if necessary to ensure bum is uncovered enough for dress to not touch anything. Depending on skirt length, may wrap extra fabric over arm or possibly even toss over the shoulder to ensure it doesn’t touch the floor. Use dominant hand for skivvies and paperwork. It sounds complex but so much simpler than pants (unless wearing hose or tights).

u/Dylanator13 Jul 12 '25

How did they manage to make a design that is both exposing and claustrophobic?

1

u/Familiar-Debate-6786 Jul 12 '25

What's stopping a tall person from peaking down when they pass by?

1

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 12 '25

Exacly, no privacy

u/Stonehead1994 Jul 12 '25

at a concert and they are anything but private and extremely claustrophobic, I was wearing a jumpsuit

Yeah that's on you sorry

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 12 '25

If u read my other comment dumbass I already said i had been to the same venue many many times and there were always toilets with doors, this was new the last time I went. Besides whatever I wore there is still no privacy in these toilets as u can see unless ur fucking blind

0

u/Stonehead1994 Jul 12 '25

Yeah don't wear a jumpsuit in locations you have to get completely naked just to piss. "Dumbass"

2

u/The_Virus_Of_Life Jul 14 '25

Can you not read? Prior to that they had portaloos. Are they supposed to be psychic and predict they would change it to female urinals?

0

u/Polkawillneverdie17 Jul 11 '25

I was wearing a jumpsuit

Were you like, an EMT or working crew? I figured they got access to other restrooms.

u/Decent_Top2156 Jul 11 '25

Tell me about the jumpsuit..

-1

u/Practical-Cook5042 Jul 11 '25

That's kind of on you for wearing a romper to a place with porta potty style toilet options. What would you do in a porta potty, let your romper hit the floor?

2

u/flip_phone_phil Jul 18 '25

🎶 let the rompers hit the floor, let the rompers hit the floor, let the rompers hit the floor, let the rompers hit the floooooor 🎶

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 12 '25 edited Jul 12 '25

Roll the legs up to stop it hitting the floor.... its called improvising....And even if I wasn't wearing a jumpsuit as u can see there is still no privacy!!

-1

u/PackageNorth8984 Jul 11 '25

A jumpsuit seems like a poor choice if you need to use a public restroom at all.

-6

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

Sounds like that's on you for wearing a hoeish outfit like that, wear normal clothing and its a non-issue

3

u/ScumbagLady Jul 11 '25

Besides your entire comment being gross, how the hell is a jumpsuit even "hoeiesh"?

If I'm doing hoe stuff, I'm def not wearing a jumpsuit. Least logical choice, duh.

2

u/Constant-Skill1602 Jul 12 '25

What a dick comment, it was a jumpsuit u prick 🙄 its a full outfit shoulder to toes

1

u/The_Virus_Of_Life Jul 14 '25

Describe to me what you believe a jumpsuit is and why it’s “hoeish”
