A urinal is a plumbing fixture designed for men to urinate into while standing. Typically found in public restrooms, urinals are often mounted on the wall and can be used individually or in a row. They are usually made of materials like porcelain or stainless steel, making them easy to clean and maintain. Urinals help save space in restrooms and can reduce water usage compared to traditional toilets. Many modern urinals are equipped with water-saving features, such as low-flow designs or even waterless options, which contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
