Experts at Utah State University’s Splash Lab believe they’ve come up with a solution to a problem that plagues any man with light-coloured trousers.
Their ‘urine black hole’ promises to prevent fluid bouncing back off porcelain by imitating the effects of a particular strand of moss that is particularly good at absorbing water.
They presented their innovation at the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics in Boston earlier this week.
They said: “In recent years, industrial designers and hygiene-driven entrepreneurs have sought to limit this splashing by creating urinal inserts, with the effectiveness of their inventions varying drastically.
“We propose improved urinal insert designs based on our experimental data in hopes of reducing potential embarrassment inherent in wearing khakis.”
