HIGHLIGHTS

Here are some highlights of the development of a product from an idea until a grown up product:

• Moon Zijp wins with the P-Mate in 2000 the Dutch National Millenium Price with this innovative and revolutionairy product. She made a strong impressive attempt to improve womens hygiene.
• In 2001 the word “Plastuit” (Dutch for P-Mate) is recorded in Ewoud Sanders book “De taal van het jaar” (The language of the year).
• First there was the WC1, the ladies urinal, then came the WC2. Twin peeing was introduced. In order to let women pee with four persons together at the same time, the Kros Urinal was introduced.
