It's not that I don't think urinals are appropriate for home use. I'm all for them -- and I put my money where my mouth is last year when I built my dream house and told my architect to
put a urinal in the master bathroom. And I'm not the only one. Turns out, they're so popular that designers are introducing
stylish urinals for the home bathroom.
I actually toyed with ideas similar to these as we put the plans together. Peeing into porcelain orchids was indeed an exotic notion. Taking it one step further, imagine the thrill of peeing into a stylized Venus fly-trap! In the end, however, the thousand-dollar-and-up price tag of these designer urinals was just outside my budget. I was already committed to a bidet, a Jacuzzi, pottery shaving sinks, and a double shower stall. When I got down to the nickels and dimes of it, a pedestrian white Kohler fixture seemed peestream -- er, mainstream enough for me.
I will admit that such flowery fixtures will probably mean less resistance to home urinals from women, as opposed to the ordinary public bathroom kind. After all, they really wouldn't be using them (unless they had one of those SweetPee gadgets to help them out).
So I'll put it to the PoopReporters. Would you have less resistance to a urinal in your home if it looked like a work of art? Or, perhaps, might you have more?
