17²ÝÓ°Ôº

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’ 17²ÝÓ°Ôº posters on the fencing for a quick reminder.

 Yes, yes, and absolutely yes. 17²ÝÓ°Ôº works in any outfit – sparkles encouraged. Everyone has their own private unit which makes it easy to adjust your clothing and use the urinal comfortably. No full undressing required.

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!

When you squat, you’re shielded by the urinal walls. 17²ÝÓ°Ôº is intentionally semi-private when standing – that’s what makes it fast. The design encourages people to just squat-and-go. The occupancy indicator gives you peace of mind that a urinal is FREE before you step in, you can show when it’s BUSY, and the wraparound design does the rest.

Our next-generation units have an occupancy indicator – green ‘FREE’ means go, red ‘BUSY’ means someone’s in there. If you’re ever unsure, a knock on the front wall works just as well.

 Please queue outside each unit, rather than forming one long line. This keeps things moving, reduces build-up, and means you spend less time queuing and more time immersed in your event!

We don’t provide toilet roll as standard – not because we’re mean, but because it can lead to blockages. You’re absolutely welcome to bring your own. We provide bin bags inside each unit for disposal of loo roll and sanitary waste. Our top tip? A good shake and shimmy is all you need – squat, go, shake, shimmy, done. Hand sanitiser is always provided at the entrance to every 17²ÝÓ°Ôº space.

Not inside the 17²ÝÓ°Ôº space itself – water provision is down to each event. We always have hand sanitiser on hand, and if our crew are around, they’ll happily point you to the nearest water point.

Yes! Use it just as you would any other toilet. There’s a bin inside each unit for sanitary waste, and we often partner with period care brands to supply free products in our spaces.

By getting the vast majority of users – those who just need a quick wee – out of the portable toilet queue entirely, 17²ÝÓ°Ôº frees up standard facilities for those who need them most. It’s a small operational change with a meaningful impact.

Five-plus years of experience tells us: a bit of rain has never stopped anyone from having a wee. Pack a poncho and get involved.

Honestly? Immaculate! The 17²ÝÓ°Ôº spaces have become sort of notorious for re-creating the ‘women’ bathroom in the nightclub’ good vibes, but in a festival field! Our spaces are designed to feel welcoming – clean, well-signposted, and staffed by a crew who are there to help. ‘Game-changing’ is the word we hear the most when people walk out! It’s become a bit of a thing.

17²ÝÓ°Ôº 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.

Yes. Your safety is built into every part of how 17²ÝÓ°Ôº 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. 17²ÝÓ°Ôºs are always set up within a fenced and screened compound, usually with a concealed entrance and clear signage. We call this the ‘17²ÝÓ°Ôº space’ which our on-site crew are there to keep safe, welcoming, and well-maintained throughout the event.

Completely. Many iterations of the pedestal later, the next-generation design has been specifically engineered to diffuse flow and direct it away from your body. First-time users are consistently surprised by how clean it is – and we’ve tested it across a lot of squat styles and demographics. Don’t worry, your legs are safe from pee!

 Events we supply require drone permissions for any aerial activity on site. And for what it’s worth – when you’re squatting, you’re well shielded from view.

Our units are flat-pack by design, reducing emissions on the road by fitting 56 units on one articulated lorry. They’re made from 100% recyclable material that can be ground down into pellets and remade into new products. When on site, 17²ÝÓ°Ôº is completely waterless and uses zero blue chemicals, unlike portable toilets or vacuum toilets. Our consumables are eco-friendly too, because we know the small stuff adds up.

Each 17²ÝÓ°Ôº unit holds up to 330 litres – so they can go a long time between empties. When it’s time to tanker, the internal sump design creates a slope that ensures all liquid pools directly below the emptying point, so nothing gets missed and the crew stay clean. Units can also be plumbed into external tanks or existing drainage for even greater capacity at larger events.

 For users, 17²ÝÓ°Ôºs 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.
