We have sex and I laugh the whole way through, because I can’t believe it’s happening. To top it all off, my friends also heard me lose my V-card. Anna Hedges, special events project manager at WaterAid, said: “We’re really excited to be working with PEEQUAL as it officially launches this summer, with our fabulous volunteers on hand to help offer female Glastonbury-goers a great toilet experience. According to the gynaecologist Dr Jen Gunter, there is little evidence to suggest that using a stand-to-pee device is safer in terms of coronavirus. “The issue with toilets is what you touch with your hands,” she says. “Which is why good hand hygiene is so important. But you are not going to get Covid vaginally, or via the skin on your bottom. The virus causes a problem because it goes straight into your lungs.” Another negative review on social media was about the fact that to use Peequal people need to sit in a squat position to use a female urinal, making it less accessible to physically disabled and older people.

It has been something of a stand-to-pee revolution, says Sam Fountain, who invented the Shewee in the late 1990s when she was a product design student. “Men don’t have a problem with using public toilets, but women do: having to get their bottoms out and touching everything, the massive queues. I was looking at a tampon applicator one day and thought: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if you could just wee down that?’” Fountain turned the rudimentary idea into a funnel that could sit under the vulva with a tube pointing the urine away from the body. Trying to pee standing up “just didn’t work for me”, she says. “It’s OK for men, because they’re used to it, but as a woman it’s just not built into your mind.”Or look out for a threadless tshirt-skin head/tilly hat wearing bloke and point me where you want to go (if I'm not with friends) . Had an epic journey through the crowd with the good excuse of a random girl who had 8 pints to get to her friends near the middle front of David Bowie I think it was. A lot of the time the liquid splashed on and around the toilet seat isn’t always caused by blokes with poor aim. This is ladies hovering. If it’s already soaking wet when you go in – fair enough. If you happen across a reasonably clean cubicle – do your best to keep it clean whilst you’re using it. 5. Toilet Seat Covers The new study found MDMA concentrations were 104 times greater downstream in the weekend after the festival. Cocaine concentration was 40 times higher downstream, however the levels of cocaine were not considered harmful. The “camp” culture is a core component of the festival experience. For Americans, you can think of it a bit like a seven day tailgating session. Camp complexity and size varies widely, but most consist of at least five tents and a pavilion. In our case we had 19 tents of various sizes huddled more or less on-top of each other, all surrounding a central pavilion. Our festival veterans had chosen the “B” camp, due to its smaller size, location, and reputation for being social, but much less crazy than areas like “C” which was a 3 minute walk away. There are also “quiet” camps and “clean” camps, which tend to be less chaotic and draw an older crowd. The doors at festival toilets are always thin enough for these hooks to fit over the top, keeping your bag safely hooked inside the cubicle with you and not getting covered in toilet juice!

On the last night, we met a group of girls from Newcastle, all of whom were single and in our drunken haze, looked pretty fit. We are keen to see full details of this new research, and would be very happy to work with the researchers to understand their results and recommendations.” In case you haven’t done it yourself, you can enjoy the embarrassment of others, with six people sharing the good, the bad and the gross. Olivia, 32, social media manager, west Cornwall Through the televised gentrification of Glastonbury, the idea of the "music festival" was then beamed into the eyes and souls of a bigger demographic, those who grew up on SMTV not MTV and Sash instead of The Clash. With everyone wanting to have their jollies in the outdoors, the festival has now become a cliched rite of passage. This month a movie from the creators of The Inbetweeners (ingeniously entitled The Festival) hits the cineplex, making the average weekend in a field look like an horrific mix of Confessions of a Window Cleaner and Spud's entire Trainspotting storyline with extra added face-painting and incontinence jokes. Even the last Bridget Jones film had a whole segment given over to the hilarious japes the eternal singleton had at one of these outdoor events, falling into a pile of mud with her wheelie suitcase (Arf!) and almost crushing Ed Sheeran into a pasty pulp whilst zorbing. It feels like everyone is "festivalling". Broadening When you’re a girl and you go to toilets at festivals they are usually covered in shit, so to have a place where you know it’s only going to be pee sounds like the most luxurious thing in the world.”Compost toilets are very simple, but many Eco households use these inside of flushing toilets at home, which is really cool! ‘Your Natural Event’ Festival Toilets in a colourful row Flushing Toilets

You're also 60 centimetres above the ground. We did that so we don't have these vulnerable feeling of squatting down – you are eye level is at the same height as someone standing." Most disgusting– This one goes to the poor (presumably drunk) girl who had carefully made her way into the pee-soaked no-mans land near one of the fences. After artfully popping a squat, she lost her balance on the hill’s slight incline and collapsed in a very unfortunate heap on the muddy soil. This mishap was tied with the poor girl who got puked on in the midst of late-night drunken coitus. To this point, McShane has a simple answer: “We don’t see ourselves as revolutionising the whole toilet concept, we just want to get the women that just want to pee the can out of the queue so that those that really need a cubicle can use it. Like how men can choose between facilities. We’d like women to be able to do that too.” These are the least preferable of all the outdoor facilities. You don’t often find these inside festivals anymore, but there may be a few dotted around the car parks or queuing areas. What age group are most likely to be ok with peeing freely outdoors? Obviously no single right answer, and always exceptions - but I'm thinking the early-20-somethings???
