Missoirs: Diese Frau will den weiblichen Toilettengang revolutionieren

Lena Olvedi, a 45-year-old Berliner, entered the toilette business with the aim of revolutionizing the female toilette experience. Her invention, the Missoir, addresses the issue of women having to wait longer in lines for public toilets, especially in crowded venues such as clubs and concert arenas. The Missoir is a urinal designed specifically for women, providing a more natural and healthier posture compared to squatting on the toilet seat.

Made of stainless steel, it can be installed underground and connected to the sewage system. It features a splash guard, a fine mesh, and handrails on both sides, with the option to add partitions for privacy. Olvedi hopes to see Missoirs in public places where men's urinals are already present, ensuring equal access for both genders.

Despite initial skepticism from men who make decisions on such matters, Olvedi remains determined, emphasizing that the invention benefits everyone. The pandemic initially posed challenges, but Olvedi persevered by investing her savings, launching a crowdfunding campaign, and securing a private loan. By 2022 and 2023, her mobile Missoirs were in high demand, especially among women who finally had the luxury of using a toilet at festivals without discomfort.
