Why this took so long to exist is the real question
Men urinate an average of 7 times a day
That's at least 1.28 gallons per flush, oftentimes more
10 gallons of water daily, per man for something gravity handles on its own
Flushing is the single largest water use in your home. You never had a better option.
Until Now
FAQ
Does it require permanent installation?
No. No drilling, no contractor, no permanent changes. Reverses completely. Take it with you when you move.
Does the self-cleaning mechanism need maintenance?
Just a refill every few months. Order packs from Privy or get the ingredients on your own.
When does the Kickstarter starter launch?
Fall 2026. Founding backers hear first before it goes public.
What about odor?
Asparagus with dinner? No problem. The citric acid cleaning solution is scientifically proven to neutralize urine odor. Keep the cleaning reservoir well-stocked and the Privy attached to a working sink to keep it sanitized.
How does it prevent mess?
A few ways: 1) It is adjustable to each user’s comfort, so the cone can be placed where needed to catch any drips; 2) the closeness of the cone ensures the urine stays in a stream, not droplets that form when it travels all the way down to the water in the bowl. The impact of the droplets is where most of the splash comes from; and 3) the cone design works like every funnel you have used to cleanly pour liquid into a larger container.
Why the sink and not the toilet?
The Privy is a retrofit, designed for you to easily install in your own bathroom without a plumber or contractor – much simpler than installing a toilet. Another benefit is water savings. Instead of flushing potable water, like the toilet does, Privy re-uses water from the sink. After you wash your hands or brush your teeth, that (gray) water gets a second use, pushing the urine down the trap and into the sewer. Finally, beneath the sink is the right place for the Privy to tuck discreetly away when not in use.
What is the environmental impact?
Privy doesn’t just save water by reducing flushes, it also gives the used (gray) water from your sink a second job – pushing the urine down the pipes. Using the right kind of water for the job (i.e. gray water to push out urine instead of potable water to flush a toilet) is another way to reduce waste and energy. Less mess around the toilet means fewer harsh chemicals used in cleaning. Privy's citric acid cleaner is organic and safe for marine life.

Meet the man behind Privy
Gregory Holliday spent 25 years as a U.S. diplomat and water expert tackling water management challenges around the world. He came home, looked at his bathroom, and realized the most basic daily function a man performs (multiple times, every day) had never been at the center of design.
He couldn't find the product, so he built it, patented it, and Privy was born!
