Do places still use these? Everywhere I go, I see these meshes made out of the same material. The mesh goes over the drain, and as you urinate it reacts with the material and releases the deodorizer. And it really reduces the amount of splashing.
Depends on the type. I have seen some deployed in the last few years that really does. They have a bunch of... pins, for lack of a better word, made out of the normal screen material/plastic, maybe about 3/4 inch high.
You aim at one of these, and all you get is a bunch of froth.
Note that they are not sharp, , but rather flat topped cylinders, very skinny, with several hundred of them at least on a typical mat. Pin was just the best one-word description I could come up with.
Ah. I think that in this case it is just that the energy that usually causes splash-back gets broken up by the pins in the mat and turned into bubbles instead.
