I mean really ladies? Is this REALLY necessary?
I kind of feel like this is .5 oz of ridiculousness.
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:32 am #1496101Imagine the style points!
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:45 am #1496102In the UK it's called the Shewee and is popular at outdoor rock festivals. The girls just line up with the guys at the urinals. I guess the lines are too long for the private cubicles. :)
Apr 22, 2009 at 7:15 am #1496123For some maybe. I couldn't care less. I see no point in it personally though I know people who like similar ones. It is definitely a HYOH thing.
Apr 22, 2009 at 8:18 am #1496149Ok, genius for at concerts, I will concede that point…
also climbing if you're on a big wall. I will give it that concession as well. But I think in the wilderness I will stick with the tried and true squat. While I see the usefulness in random situations, it doesn't really seem to add any ease to daily backpacking routines.Apr 22, 2009 at 8:49 am #1496157.
Apr 22, 2009 at 9:13 am #1496165you'll finally be able to write your name in the dirt!
i cannot imagine the childish snickering at the auto garage when ol' Andy unwittingly uses this as an oil funnel…Apr 22, 2009 at 9:17 am #1496167My wife tried it. On the first use she ignored the cardinal guy's rule about wind speed and direction and that caused a minor mishap.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I'd pay good money to witness that one! Definitely worth the price of admission.
Apr 22, 2009 at 12:58 pm #1496226If you are quite happy to continue squatting, then why not save yourself the money and 15g?
For me there are enough benefits to justify both. Not needing to drop my kit when it's biting cold or wet, or swarming with biting insects is brilliant. No need to take off pack. No need to 'dry off' with something (eg toilet paper). It makes it 100 times easier to pee into a small necked bottle or can in an emergency….!
Apr 22, 2009 at 4:12 pm #1496278AnonymousInactiveThis little gadget sounds like just the ticket for women mountaineers. No more squatting in a blizzard or stumbling into the night to take a whiz. Now they can do it standing up and use pee bottles at night, just like the guys. Myself, I just bought 1000 shares of Nalgene.
Apr 22, 2009 at 4:14 pm #1496282being a guy i guess it is up to the girl?
but after reading this thread it makes me glad to have the "whiz freedom" already ummm… handled without any extra weight.

I dunno, Ben. My guess is 999 times out of 1000 a girl carrying one of these gizmos at 14 grams is packing less weight to achieve the function than a guy. YMMV of course. :-}
Apr 22, 2009 at 4:36 pm #1496289LOL – this is hilarious.
To the OP, I'm betting that you've never tried a device like this. If you had, I can't imagine this question even popping into your head.
Seriously? Yes. Seriously.
If I had a dime for every rock I've tried to cantilever myself out over just to avoid the "splash back" effect caused by my stream landing anywhere near my feet or my pant-legs (like it will if you just squat)…
It's an absolute GENIUS device, and I'd be loathe to take a ROAD trip without it, let alone head out into the great outdoors…
Apr 22, 2009 at 4:48 pm #1496298" I'd pay good money to witness that one! Definitely worth the price of admission."
Uhhh…I'd pay good money not to!
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:01 pm #1496301Oh yeah, I forgot about the splashback! And how else would a girl ever get to learn what it feels like to pee on an electric fence?
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:18 pm #1496305Don't they make one a little, uh…
bigger?
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:38 pm #1496308Great. Now I have to go google this……..
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:40 pm #1496309> Great. Now I have to go google this……..
Just look in the BPL gear shop.

Yeah, but at the penalty of having to carry excess mammary tissue ;)
Apr 22, 2009 at 5:52 pm #1496313Yeah, but at the penalty of having to carry excess mammary tissue ;)
Well… I've seen plenty of dudes with that problem. ;)
Apr 22, 2009 at 6:13 pm #1496317LOL This is the funniest thread I've read in a long time. Funny thing is I bought one for my wife. As a gag, I put it on top of her birthday present a couple of months ago. Should have seen the look she gave me… "This better not be my real present". Luckily the real present got me out of the doghouse real quick ;-)
Cheers
AlPS She doesn't want to use it, so I'll have to show her this thread.
Apr 22, 2009 at 6:29 pm #1496319So where do you get these? My wife works out in the field, and bathrooms (and the lack thereof) are always a problem. And it does what to mammary tissue?
Apr 22, 2009 at 6:33 pm #1496321Joe they sell them in BPL Gear shop.
Apr 22, 2009 at 7:34 pm #1496331REI carries them also+called Freshette
Cheers
