Men have long been criticised for their lack of hand hygiene but now they have no excuse for not washing their hands after a visit to the bathroom. A Latvian designer has designed urinal that incorporates a built-in tap.

The STAND tap is hands-free and activated by sensors - however opinion is still divided as to whether it is hygienic to wash one's hands in a urinal.

Designer Kaspars Jursons explained: "If you did not have the habit of washing your hands after you go to the bathroom before, you will definitely be reminded now, when you are faced with a tap right at the urinal."

The units are now in production and have already sold to customers in Norway, Germany, Russia, Poland and Latvia.
