When urine hits water at certain speeds or angles

When urine hits water at certain speeds or angles, it creates splashback — a well-documented phenomenon studied in fluid dynamics. Researchers at Brigham Young University found that the angle, height, and turbulence of urination all contribute to droplets escaping the bowl.

These microscopic droplets can land on floors, seats, walls, and even toothbrushes. In public restrooms, splash is responsible for spreading contaminants including E. coli and norovirus, according to the CDC.

Piddel’s inward-facing design reduces the splash zone, containing flow and preventing mess. By redirecting the stream into a narrow surface channel, it protects users and spaces from aerosolized pathogens.
