Stand-up toilet was 'made for women'
Both women and men can use a stand-up street urinal designed by an Aquitaine firm.
Women use a shaped free disposable cardboard urinette. Jérôme Clausse of makers Ves Bat Eco said the urinals were designed for women as they had too few public facilities.
The semi-enclosed dry toilets cost €8,000 and are being tested in Bayonne.
