Invention Breaks Down Sex Barrier
CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - A South African invention soon to go on sale breaks down a barrier between the sexes by enabling women to urinate standing up.
The ``Eezeewee,'' a reusable device with a shaped plastic cup and a length of pipe, has taken six years to develop and is already patented in 106 countries. It will be in shops around the world by the end of the year.
``It will be invaluable for women who are traveling, hiking, camping, fishing, sailing, skiing or bed-ridden. Having a wee has never been so easy,'' Stephan Odendaal, managing director of Mouldmed, the company that invented the device, said Friday.
``It even has a handy, discreet carrying pouch so it can be taken everywhere,'' he added. ``One of these can last a woman a lifetime.''
