A urinal is a plumbing fixture designed for the purpose of urination. Typically found in men's restrooms, it allows users to relieve themselves while standing. Urinals are often made of materials like porcelain or stainless steel and can be wall-mounted or freestanding. They are designed to be hygienic and efficient, often equipped with a flushing mechanism to remove waste. Urinals come in various styles and designs, including traditional models and waterless options that use special technology to minimize water usage. They are commonly installed in public places such as schools, restaurants, and stadiums, contributing to the overall sanitation and convenience of restroom facilities.
