Peeing standing up (whilst also being female-shaped)

[alice-palace]

Has anyone got any experience of these? Or these? Or anything like them? I could really have done with something like this at the music festival i went to the other week - the queues for the (rank) portaloos were knee-crossingly long at times, but there were lots of 'pissoir' type things (as well as trees, fences etc) for the boys.[/url]

I read a review of one of those, or a similar product, several years ago. Haven't tried one myself. I seem to recall the reviewer saying that it was still necessary to wipe afterwards, and of course you would want to wash the device. Which is fine, it just means that it doesn't eliminate all of the usual (and not so usual) steps of peeing.

I've also heard that it's completely possible for women to pee standing up without any special apparatus. It just takes a little practice (say, in the shower, if you're not averse to that). There's a tutorial here, on myvag.net. Again, you might still need to wipe after peeing.

Hmm, hadn't thought of the wiping thing. Had thought of the washing-the-device thing, but the 'whiz' says you can flick it dry - then put in a plastic bag i guess till you can rinse it.

I looked at the tutorial. It's interesting, but i think i'd feel quite, well, vulnerable to pissing all over my clothes basically! I don't care about sitting on public loo seats and so on, if i was to buy some kind of funnel thingy it would be mainly just for camping/ hiking so i didn't have to get my kit off in a public place to have a wee.

I've never used one, but I can see the benefits somewhat. But I don't think that using such a device would irradicate the stigma against women peeing outdoors which alot of people hold. meaning that you'd be awesome for using it and defeating the porterpotty line, but you'd get alot of stares and some laughter whether you would mind something like that or not. Maybe I'm just having a day where I have no faith in people, but I can see alot of people giving you crap (pardon the pun) for using one at a concert.

I'm all for peeing outside. Back in the day a friend of mine had a huge backyard. We'd be hanging out on the hammock and not feel like going all the way inside to pee and we'd just go to a certain corner of the yard. We wouldn't do it where people would be standing or where a barbecue would be or anything, but I don't see it as different from dogs pissing all over the place. This may be too much info too, but even though we squatted like most chicks, I can totally see how you could 'maneuver' your ladybits into directing the stream so it doesn't get on your legs. I think we should all go practice in our bathrooms so all of glitter can perfect it just for fun.

But in all seriousness, the times I get mad that there is no outside-peeing stigma for men is when they do it overtly and in a rude way/area. Like, when i lived in London we'd be waiting in a long line to go into a club and some guy would just walk over to the side of building and pee. This meant that there was his rank piss running down the sidewalk onto the feet of everyone else standing in line. R. U. D. E. and gross.

I think I'd still have a problem in a very public place with one of those things, not because I overtly care that someone might see me peeing, but more that I get performance anxiety in bathrooms where we are separated by stalls. So knowing that anyone can see me at any time makes the pee stay where it is...

I have some of these. I was skeptical at first but they've been a lifesaver on road trips!! The first time I used one I was too afraid of peeing all over myself so I couldn't go (it didn't help that mr. green was in the car going "bwahahaahaaaa you're gonna piss yourself") but the second one worked like a charm! I'm not wild of the disposable aspect of these ones but they store flat, which is nice.

Haha greenbean, i'm sure my boy would be the same. But what do you do with the pee-covered cardboard? If there isn't a proper rubbish bin i mean?

It would be sort of weird to carry around a big plastic urine funnel thing, might be more convenient to have flat-folded cardboard - it would be biodegradeable wouldn't it?

sexy_sec, i'm sure i'd get some stick but i find myself caring less and less every year about what people say/ think... and it'd cause less fuss using one of these thingies than squatting - and would expose a lot less of me to the general public!

W&P, the ones i linked to above (and below!) are reuseable - I prefer the website for the whiz thingy, it has a lot more info about what the thing's made of, but the she-wee is a lot cheaper.

I have some of the P-mates, but I've never used them - my boy sent them to me when he went away for a concert as some souvenir. How romantic.

So if anyone wants some unused P-mates, let me know!

If you're not grossed out by peeing in the shower like me, I would totally go with the device-free peeing technique. Here's two links with instructions:

Wow, a device? I just squat and um, spread my knees apart. And go up on tippy-toes which seems to help also.

So technically it's not standing up but it is peeing without a toilet.

Here is the one I love love love:

It's tiny, fits in a pocket. It also looks like a kid's medicine spoon thing, so (at least for me) no one would assume "hey, you pee with that!"

My big bro taught me to pee standing up when I was potty training (he also fed me cat poop, but that is a story for the shrink). Now, I have developed a "split-stream" so I can't do it without a little help from a funnel. Even when I've squatted in the woods, I would end up peeing on my feet (you've all been there, right?)

Anywhoo- rock on peeing while standing up! Now I want it to snow so I can write my name, lol.

Ok, this might be too much detail... but I think I pee too fast for those things. Especially in situations when I need to do it outside, likely I've been holding it for awhile. And I'm worried that I'll back those tube things up (even the wider ones) and have an exploding pee bomb.
