  WORKS

Here’s exactly how it works:

The FEATURES of PEEQUAL

Built for a Cleaner, Safer and Faster Pee-xperience

Up to 3X Faster to Squat-and-Go

PEEQUAL gets the 90% of women who just need to pee out of long portable toilet queues and back to enjoying the events they love. Our squat-and- go urinals are up to 3X quicker to use than regular portable toilets.

There’s no need to wipe down a toilet seat, scrabble around for some loo roll or time to faff on your phone. Our open-air design encourages users to just squat-and-go. The average wee takes just 1 minute 15 seconds so you can be in and out in a flash!

Cleaner Than Portable Toilets

No-touch, open-air and anti-splashback design keeps legs and floors clean – no awkward aiming needed. Smells are reduced compared to sitting in a hot box of other people’s poo & pee! Bin bag hooks make sanitary waste disposal simple, hand sanitiser is provided as standard, and free period products are often available through our partners. Add our dedicated PEEQUAL cleaning crew, or some fantastic WaterAid volunteers, and the space stays fresh all event long.

Creating a Safer Space

Pop in to your own private pee space with PEEQUAL! The wraparound walls give you full coverage from the waist down and the occupancy indicator shows when a unit is ‘free’ or ‘busy’ so everyone knows when you’re in there. 

Our units are always set-up within a private fenced and screened area with a concealed entrance. We call this the PEEQUAL space and it’s become a bit of a party at some of our events! It’s like the girls’ bathroom in the club – but in a field! Good vibes, and with our dedicated PEEQUAL cleaning crew who are Safer Spaces trained, you can pee in privacy but without the wait!

A More Sustainable So-loo-tion

Waterless, no nasty chemicals, less carbon emissions – PEEQUAL is a more sustainable solution for peeing than portable toilets. The patented flat pack design means 56 units stack onto one articulated lorry (compared to an average of 22 portable toilets) – reducing the number of trucks you need on site. Talk about saving on your transport costs, water point requirements and reducing the number of empties needed per event. With PEEQUAL you can up the peeing capacity of your event without upping your carbon footprint!

BURNING QUESTIONS?

We get it, we’re the new kid on the block! Of course you’ve got some questions. Can’t find your answer here? Go to our full FAQs page or get in touch and let’s chat!

How do I squat?

Just like a wild wee – which you’ve almost certainly done before!

  • Trousers or shorts? Pull them down and gather the fabric around your ankles, in front of the pedestal.
  • Skirt or dress? Pull your hem up and hold it out of the way. That’s it. You’ve got this.

Squat and go! Check out the ‘How to Use’ PEEQUAL posters on the fencing for a quick reminder.

Are PEEQUALs safe to use?

Yes. Your safety is built into every part of how PEEQUAL is designed and operated. The occupancy indicator (green for free, red for busy) gives full visibility to others if a unit is in use. The wraparound design creates a semi-private space. PEEQUALs are always set up within a fenced and screened compound, usually with a concealed entrance and clear signage. We call this the ‘PEEQUAL space’ which our on-site crew are there to keep safe, welcoming, and well-maintained throughout the event.

What benefits do PEEQUALs offer compared to standard portable toilets?

 For users, PEEQUALs are around 3x faster to use – the average wee takes just 1 minute 15 seconds. They’re open-air, touch-free, and designed to be genuinely enjoyable to use (yes, really). For toilet operators, the logistics are streamlined: flat-packed units, optimised for forklifts and telehandlers, 90 secs assembly per unit with fewer lorries needed leading to reduced fuel and emissions.

What do I do if I need a poo?

PEEQUAL is designed to get you in and out fast when you need to pee – it’s a complement to portable loos, not a replacement. If you need a number two, head to one of the other facilities on site. The good news? With 90% of people queuing just needing a wee, you’ll find those queues a lot shorter thanks to us.

Why is there no roof or door?

We’re obsessed with getting you in and out as quickly as possible. The semi-private design means you simply squat and go – no lingering, no phone-checking, no queue-blocking. When you’re squatting, you’re well shielded from view. The open-air design stops smells from building up too!
