Clearly a urinal is strictly made for men, but the Neo-Metro urinal in pink has women written all over it! I never thought I would have ever ooohed and ahhhed over one before, but this one has me doing exactly that.

What is more interesting than its color choice, however, is the fact that the Neo-Metro urinal is made to be [waterless](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1). How that works, I don't exactly know, but it seems LEED approved, especially since it's made out of 90% [recycled stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitreon-steel).
