The people of Somerset where the garden centre is located have been impressed with the new urinals and both men and women alike have been to have a peek at the original flower urinal creations.

“When we opened in June this year we had a queue of ladies waiting outside the gents to see if they could steal a peek at the toilets.” said Simon Malley of Dobbies Garden World.

The three flower-shaped urinals are in the shape of three distinct flowers which include a hollyhock, an orchid and a daffodil. As one can see from the picture, their bright, vibrant and colorful nature are certainly different from the usual white urinals. One can also imagine any stains will be hidden in the tones of the flower petals. As for sprinkling tinklers, the bowl shaped urinals should provide an ample amount of aiming space.

“Our gentlemen customers in particular pass on their feedback to our staff on a daily basis and the gents’ loos have certainly created a real talking point in this area.” Malley continued.

Unfortunately, the women’s toilets have not been so blessed and have instead had to make do with three small poppy-shaped hand basins. Whilst these urinals are in the public sphere, it’s not a big leap to imagine them as unusual and fun bathroom fixtures for all the male family members to use in a domestic setting.

“Honey, it’s a man thing, try to understand”

The urinal bucket on a plinth is aptly named the “Pale Ale” and is perfect for the regular beer drinker. It’s made from pressed galvanised steel and is available to buy from Philip Watts Design.

Friends of the male variety will love using this bucket urinal and might end up staying over a few nights a week just to potter about in the bathroom. If it isn’t a hit with the wife, then it can be filled with soil and used as a bathroom plant pot.

Would you install one of these in your bathroom? What do you think the wife would say? Would your husband want one of these?
