Stephanie Medley-Rath sent in a new example of urinals shaped like women’s mouths (source).  We’ve taken the submission as an opportunity to re-post our collection:

Liz B. sent in a slide show of “innovative” urinals that included this example:

This mural is from the Sofitel Hotel in New Zealand; you can find it here. I was initially a bit suspicious, but Snopes says it’s real. I assume I don’t really need to explain that they’re making fun of both the idea that you’re not supposed to look at anyone while using a urinal and men’s fears that women really do care about penis size.

Nun urinals:

Emma B. sent in these images of sinks; not a urinal, but I think it fits in with these images pretty well:
