We now know that the ice helped freeze the odor-causing molecules in urine, which helped prevent odors from being released. The practice of placing ice in urinals in bars and restaurants is still fairly common. Do home urinals smell?

Original design pissours were all metal and drained straight into the canals. However, newer designs are plastic and drain into the wastewater system. As Dong a Yakan states, the hygiene benefits of such designs are not to be overlooked. Where typical public toilets require frequent touching of surfaces, madamePee and Lapee have both been designed largely as “no touch” systems and both companies believe their innovations could play a key role in municipal life during and post-COVID-19.
