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."
