Eli5: Why do urinals exist over just having more toilet bowls?
In: 0
This is just speculation based on having used them before, I could be completely wrong: Compared with normal toilets, they’re easier to install, maintain, and clean. They take up less space, use less water, and require less robust plumbing (no solid waste drain – hopefully). On top of all that, and because of the intersection of all of those factors, they’re probably cheaper too (although I don’t know that for sure, I’ve never bought one). Theoretically, if 70% of men use the bathroom just to pee real quick, and you could have exactly 10 toilets/urinals total… then 7 urinals and 3 toilets would make more sense than 10 toilets.
