People wonder why portable potties have urinals in them.

You might think, at first glance, that urinals aren’t needed in a portable potty when you already have a traditional toilet. However, these urinal units are very effective in providing a better experience for the user while positively affecting the efficiency of the restroom units. In this article, we’re going to talk about why your portable restroom units need to include urinals and also how this is going to make a difference for your events as well as for your rentals.

Expert insights into designing portable restrooms (from a guy who knows his stuff.)

As someone in the industry who is involved in what goes inside the portable restrooms, I can tell you that a great restroom design can take a bad rental situation and make people happy even when the facilities are not the greatest. I will share with you the specifics of why you need a portable potty unit which has urinal included and why it makes a difference for a number of different issues”.

Why Portable Toilets Include Urinals

Efficiency and Convenience

There are two things you have to understand. First, men use a urinal and they do it faster than women. At big events when there’s a time crunch and a long line, the faster men can “pee and go” the less line jam.

The speed of urinals versus full stalls is always an advantage. This becomes an even better advantage during temporary or forced restroom situations.

Cleanliness and Maintenance

Urinals keep men from peeing all over the main toilet. Less pee on the seat for the ladies and less cleanup for you.

That separate option for urination also keeps your main toilet from getting jammed up with guys who have to wait on the other guys that are taking a strolling P.

Inclusivity and Versatility

When you have toilets and urinals in the same restroom, it’s a perfectly good reason not to have but one restroom for men and one restroom for women.

It offers advantages to the venue staff as well as the event attendees. You make them happier.

Tackling the Restroom Topic

Just knowing you need a urinal in a portable potty is not enough. Let’s talk a bit more about the performance of porta-potty urinals and what they do for you in different scenarios.

1. Are Portable Urinals More Hygienic Than a Standard Toilet?

Portable urinals are set up to spill less and make less of a mess than compared to potties. The way they are designed makes it much easier to prevent people from touching anything in it which also makes it much easier to clean and save you time and money in the long run.

2. Are There Certain Events Where You See the Urinal Do Even More Good Than Normal?

Yes, the bigger the event the more a portable potty urinal is going to do for you. They save more time and keep the line from getting even longer than it has to be.

Also, above and beyond an event, the urinal is awesome for a construction site where things have to be tough and good to go all the time.

3. Are There Times When Having A Portable Urinal Make Sense?

They make even more sense for long road trips and outdoor adventures because they keep you from stopping all of the time. Just set them up, and let ‘er rip. Portable urinals are great for family trips and things like extended bus coach rides.

4. Are There Any Environmental Benefit To Urinals besides Water Conservation?

They use less water than a regular toilet but some are waterless. That will save you not just water but you can help the environment too. You can’t have too much water saved and with waterless technology, it’s moving right down that path.

You have to think about ease of use; much like with a toilet but with the height adjustability, and making sure they are clearly marked and as private as possible, so everyone is comfortable using them. The manufacturers are really getting into it and making them to fit anyone who might need to use them. That’s good to know.

Urinals Improve Portable Restrooms

Incorporating urinals into portable toilets is more than just a choice. It’s a smart move to save time and reduce the mess. Your event is more enjoyable with a urinal, as is your construction job, and your bus trip.
