Bottle or Urinal, You decide


A "D" design for Pee? I think not.
What would make anyone think this was a functional urinal?  For if it is meant to be a urinal it is truly piss poor.  It is, however, an interesting bottle and the only quagmire that even remotely points it in the urinal direction is the hole drilled at the apex of the interior "D".  What else could that be needed for except to tie it off to a user's  bed.  The opening is only 3/4" in diameter making insertion difficult at best and the owner would have better luck with an old coke bottle.    It is tall at 11 3/4" but the volume it holds (550 cc's) is proportionately poor in comparison to other designs. If one was bed ridden, positioning this bottle would be difficult not to leave the user drenched in his own urine.  All that said, I bought this bottle as a urinal, primarily because I could  not imagine it was a very successful design except to maybe hold the flowers brought into a hospital room.  I have seen similar bottles produced in the Netherlands that also claimed to be urinals, but with the reputation of the Dutch men being well endowed, I can't imagine it does any of them favors in the urinal department.
