Roskilde Festival - the peeing paradise for outside peeing

[Carb0nBased 615]

So I take it both the concrete slab with the groove and the metal railing, and the wooden pallets with the plastic gutter in the middle, are two different kinds of squat urinals? For the slab with the groove, the orange pipe at one end explains how the pee drains away, but what is the orange rubber "bucket" thing at the other end? Is that a tank full of water that can be used to flush it? 

You say you "walked in on someone"--so did each of these urinals have a privacy wall around it?

Just guessing but I would say the rubber bucket thing is just a stopper.  It look like you could chain several of these together with a pipe to join them so pee flows from one to the other and onwards eventually to the drain.  The first in the chain needs the stopper to stop pee simply falling out to the ground.   So the person using the downstream facility would possibly have pee already flowing through their trough as they add theirs to it.

Yes, it was different kinds of urinals. I am not very much into plumbing and I didn't follow the pipes at the places there were installed, but obviously there is potential for improvement there. Most of the time, there was already some pee standing on the "half pipe", at least for the "pallet and plastic gutter" model, the ones that were most frequent. The vacuum trucks had to flush and clean them regularly.

The urinals were enclosed by three fences, to shield (somehow) from the view of passers-by, but they were intended to be used by two or three, possibly even four people at a time, just squatting in line behind each other. So, not much privacy, but hell... it's a festival after all :)

Seems plausible.

It sounds like there is room for improvement indeed. I was wondering if the pee would pool up in the channel, particularly for the concrete ones since rain water has difficulty draining off concrete patios and paths a lot of the time. Even with standing pee though I bet they're a big improvement over porta-potties as far as grossness is concerned.

Well it sounds like the fences provided some privacy from guys, and even from other women who weren't also peeing at the same time. Not that I think you really cared too much either way yourself, but for a lot of other women that could make a big difference.

Was there a brand or name posted for the urinals?

It looks like a gents urinal room, because actually it is one. Two years ago, somebody put signs on the wall, reading "this is a unisex room - ladies, please pee in the urinal or on the floor corner". I couldn't believe my eyes, but I swear it is real. At first, I thought it was an idea from the organizers, to help reduce the queue for the stalls, but another forum member once told us that he printed and attached the signs on the first day. Still not sure about the truth behind these signs, but definitely a great thing. Unfortunately, it is well known that many stolen videos were taken in this room and posted to porn sites. For that reason, many women now fear to use the urinals, I was often the only one to use them.

Are there any pictures of these mythical unisex urinal rooms?

No, and I don't think it is a commercial thing, not even at a prototype stage like the "pollee" back 10 years ago.

I believe they were designed and put together by the festival organizers themselves. Squat urinals were presented as an experiment to explore new solutions for women and those who need to squat :

At this year’s festival, we are testing a variety of squat urinals.  

Squat urinals are intended for women and others who need to squat when they pee. 

We wish to have more squat urinals at Roskilde Festival, and therefore this year we are testing different models to find out which ones work best at our festival. 

We have had squat urinals in several places at the festival in previous years, but for the first time, we are testing several designs to find the perfect solution that can be rolled out across the entire festival in the future.

I once came across a couple of videos of women and men peeing together on the urinals, or women peeing on the floor... that's it.

Otherwise, they are just rooms with four long wall urinals, on either side of the toilet buildings.

 Sorry that I didn't have time to write earlier about my experiences and impressions of this year's Roskilde festival. Now I will tell you about some of my experiences this year. 

I'm the one who usually puts up "pirate signs" by the urinals - an attempt to get more women to use the urinals. Unfortunately, as Vanessa wrote, not so many women took advantage of the opportunities. 

There are two large toilet buildings on the festival grounds, both containing a number of regular toilets (often long queues in connection with the concerts) and two urinal rooms. Both of these toilet buildings are located near the main concert stage, which means that many people want to visit them before, during and especially after the concerts. One of the toilet buildings is located on one of the larger "streets" in the festival area and basically has no green spaces nearby. This means that when the queues get long, many women simply sit down and pee outside the building. The other toilet building (both look exactly the same) is adjacent to a clearing with a few trees and some grass and bushes. When there was a long queue for the toilets, many festival-goers (especially the women) preferred to urinate on the grass surfaces or among the bushes and trees. Few women felt attracted to use the urinal rooms despite my "unisex urinal rooms" signs.

The festival area changes a little in the small details every year in terms of, among other things, which areas are cordoned off and which can be used by visitors. A few years ago, the barriers next to the urinals looked a little different, which among other things led to many women urinating right outside the entrances to the urinals. If my pirate signs had been in place then I think more women would have used the urinals... If there had been many women who showed interest in using the urinals, I would certainly have visited them more to have some nice company. Only on a couple of occasions each festival day did I see women using the urinals and several of them peed on the floor.

Since I liked to pee together with women, I sometimes took the opportunity to pee among the bushes outside the toilet building where many people sought after a concert. Most of the festival goers have no problem showing off their private parts when they have to pee - this applies to both men and women. When a few beers have been downed and the sun starts to disappear, it's easier to show off.

After a concert on the biggest stage, many people need to pee, so you just have to keep an eye on where people are going and hang on. There was, among other things, a small cordoned-off area where (at least for the first two days) you could "slip in" and fulfill your needs without having to be seen by the general public. Many women (and some men) slipped in there to pee.

On one of the occasions I slipped in there were several girls peeing there. I thought I'd go far around a corner to stand and pee - but the place was already occupied by two young girls. One was sitting and peeing and the other was peeing with her butt high in the air. So I turned around and went left so I came from the other direction. I could now stand up and pee so I could watch the two girls at the same time and they could see me. They laughed and had no problem with me being there. The girl with the butt high (she was closest to me) peed a hard stream down to the ground so it splashed. I couldn't see the other girl's stream because she sat down and was obscured by her friend. When she finished peeing, however, I got a surprise: it turned out that she was completely naked on the upper part of her body when she peed, which I noticed only when she stood up. She saw that I was looking at her breasts so then she shook them a little and laughed! They pulled up their clothes and said goodbye!

A nice memory.

How many women do you think saw your cock while you were peeing?

what does your pirate sign look like?
