A review of SEVEN Female Urination Devices and advice on how to make your own device on the fly!

Welcome to 'Standing Up' Part II of  Not Everyone Wants To Adventure Pee In The Woods, Female Urination Device Edition, (FUD)

A lot of people are happy to lug along those portable toilets we discussed in the last article, Not Everyone Wants To Adventure Pee In TheWoods.  It is entirely appropriate to have a portable toilet station in certain camping situations.  There are other times when we just need to pee on the go.   

If you're anything like me, or most women, you dread seeing those rows of port a johns at festivals or events, and you cringe at the thought of weeds touching your butt when you are out camping.

The endless problem for us is the need to remove our pants to squat and pee.  For a while now, companies have been working on products to make it completely easy for women to stand and pee just like the guys!    

I’m going to discuss some of those extremely helpful products here today and at the end, we are going to do a little Adventure Pee Project!  Woo hoo!

The Freshette

The first female urination device on the list is The Freshette.  The Freshette is the best of both worlds in so many ways.  It is rigid, which allows easy placement under layers of clothes, it does not take up much room and it has a longer reach than most compact devices because of the 5” telescoping tube.  Receives great reviews everywhere it is sold.  Includes: funnel, 5” tube and plastic zippered travel pouch. Reusable.

$23.95

Shewee Extreme

Next we have the Shewee Extreme Kit.  The Shewee is another rigid plastic device that fits easily under clothes and is not difficult to manage.

This kit includes the funnel device, extension tube, and carry case.  Reusable.

$21.98

Go Girl

Next up is the Go Girl.  The Go Girl is made from a flexible medical grade silicone and it rolls up into a very small, convenient tube when it is no longer needed.  It is, by far, the smallest and easiest to carry.  The flexible nature of the Go Girl made it difficult for me to use.  It is a bit too flexible, so tight or layered clothes help contribute to accidents.  You may have better luck than I did.

With pink travel tube.  Available in pink or camouflage. Reusable.

$12.99

The pStyle came highly recommended from a friend.  Because it is made of rigid plastic, the pStyle is easily maneuvered through clothing.  The unique funnel shape directs flow away from the body.  The rounded back edge can be used to wipe, so there are no drips!  It is easy to clean by shaking vigorously or rinsing. 

Available in fashion colors.  Reusable.

$12

The P-Mate.  This was my very first attempt at trying out Female Urinary Devices.  It comes in a pack of five.  Like origami that you pee through, they are flat inside the pack.  Take one out, pull it apart and it snaps into shape.  Use it and discard.  The concept is amazing and sometimes they work great.  The seam that holds The P Mate together is on the backside.  I once had a batch with a bad glue job and I didn’t keep buying packs to see if that problem was resolved.

Set of five individual cardboard pop up devices.  Disposable.

$5.95

FloTool Funnel.  I really like that it is actually called the FloTool Funnel, because it works great for so many types of fluids.  The cut away section in the funnel creates a perfect unzip to fit device.  I have used this exact funnel on many occasions and never with an accident.  Best thing about the FloTool Funnel:  It costs anywhere from .75 cents to $3.  It is washable and reusable.

FloTool Gas Tank Funnel.  Still loving the name... FloTool.  I found this little stubby one day at the auto parts store.  This measures maybe 6 or 7 inches at the most.  It is a bit harder to find the spot, but it is a lot easier to carry around due to the reduced size.  I have had very successful ventures with it.  Reusable.

$2

A Hobo Funnel is the Adventure Pee Project!  Yeah, that's what I said.  You will use this funnel in times of desperation when there is no FloTool or pStyle at hand.  It starts as a plastic water bottle or soda bottle before it transforms into this magical thing.  Cut the back off at an angle with scissors, a razor or a knife.  In a pinch, you can even use your keys.  It is a little scratchy, but it works great!  You also get the satisfaction of doing a little Adventure Pee repurposing project, so it costs nothing but your time.  You never know when this idea might come in handy!  Just don't forget to remove the cap!

Things like this are a process of trial and error to find what works best for you.  In this case, always practice first in the shower before you take it camping, boating or to festivals.  If you're in a jam, you can also aim the spout into resealable gallon jugs if you are inside a tent at night, a passenger in an automobile, or some other inconvenient place where bathrooms are not accessible.  

Let me know if you tried one of these ideas and how it worked for you!  Do you have any stories about female urination devices, or is there a topic you want to hear about?  Tell us about it here!
