"She-pee" urinals relieve Glastonbury Wed Jun 16, 8:12 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Female revellers at the Glastonbury Festival will be able to enjoy this year's show without straining their bladders -- courtesy of stand-up urinals. Organisers have installed two sets of the urinals around the main Pyramid stage for the exclusive use of women, complete with "concierge" attendants to ensure a dignified experience. Key to the arrangement is a special, anatomically shaped funnel to be handed out to each user. "There are plenty of places the men can go and have a pee when they're right in the middle of the festival and not near some of the proper toilets. These are the female equivalent of that," said a spokesman for the festival. "It's equality for women, basically." The pink-coloured urinals, dubbed "She-pee" by the festival organisers, was unveiled in a pink ribbon-cutting ceremony at midday on Wednesday, ahead of the three-day event at Pilton, in Somerset, southern England which starts on June 25. The spokesman said the urinals had been used at other festivals, including in the Netherlands. "They are well-tested," he said.
