Making a splash in the battle for Female peequality is the Lapee, the brainchild of Gina Périer, a French architect based in Copenhagen, which made its debut at the Danish festival in Roskilde.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that it takes women an age to go about their business at open-air events. When I was involved in organising outdoor events the prime areas to concentrate in order were parking, toilets, and musical content. The frustration for females is that there is no equivalent to the urinals available to men.

But the wait is over. The Lapee unit, in pink, of course, can accommodate three, comes with an in-built storage tank and with a taller screen and an elevated hole to aim at. A rather nifty design ensured individual privacy.

Périer claims that with no door to negotiate it will take the average time for females to do their business down from three minutes to 30 seconds. The proof of the carsey will be in the pissing but it seems to be a step in the right direction.
