    If you're a girl who has envied how easy it is for guys to pee in public, Copenhagen-based <a href="http://www.uiwe.dk/">UiWE's</a> Pollee urinal might be just what you've been looking for. The company has developed three very cool prototypes of ladies-only urinals that - unlike the more individualistic <a href="http://inhabitat.com/need-to-go-p-tree-makes-public-urination-sanitary/">P-tree urinals</a> recently profiled for men - present girls with a more communal and sanitary public peeing option. Of course, some ladies are more shy than others, so UiWE tested out three different versions with varying levels of privacy at the rocking Roskilde festival in Denmark earlier this month.

    Women need to pee in public too!

    But don't want to wait in long queues to do so.

    So UiWE conceived three prototypes of portable ladies-only urinals.

    They were recently tested at the Roskilde festival in Denmark.

    With varying levels of privacy.

    The Pollee consists of four urinals wrapped around a central core.

    Which allows ladies to have a more communal peeing experience.

    Handles on the side provide stability.

    It's not clear what kind of materials are being vetted.

    But this design appears to be more sanitary, and less wasteful than conventional portable loos.

    And judging by these photos taken at the Roskilde festival....

    Peeing in a Pollee is more fun too!
