Virgin Atlantic has reportedly cancelled plans for urinals shaped like a woman's open mouth.

The airline had allegedly planned to place the new urinals at toilets in its new clubhouse at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. However, the airline cancelled its plans for the urinals, designed by Dutch company Bathroom Mania, after receiving complaints.

The idea for the urinals is said to have come from one of the female designers working on the new Terminal 4 clubhouse for first-class passengers.
