This one is definitely bizarre. This is one of those with great intentions, but just a bit too much on the odd side for me to ever want to give it a whirl. Women always have to worry about the sanitation issues with public restrooms. Frankly, those little paper things you put over the toilet aren’t offered everywhere and I’m not really sure how great they work anyway. Most of us have all found our own personal ways to care for our health, hovering above the toilet would be one of those. This handy design makes it so that we never have to touch the toilet seat again. Ladies, how would you like to pee standing up?

p-mate

Yes you read correctly, the P-mate offers a design that can make it so that women can pee standing up. The P-mate is disposable and leakproof. It shapes to form against you so that you can comfortably pee standing up. You carry them around just like you would your tampons and throw them away when you are done. The directions sound hilariously perverse, here is a small example from the product page. “Slightly lower your pants or raise your skirt. Pull your panties to one side and place the large opening directly under the flow area between your legs. The sides of the P-mate opening should surround the flow area completely. Straighten your knees and push your bottom backwards so that the spout of the P-mate is pointed downwards. Relax and let nature do the rest – PEE!”

I take my personal hygiene very seriously, but not this seriously. My personal opinion is that I wouldn’t ever use it, except for some extreme situation. Well ladies what do you think, would you use it?

    This is great, now all of those urinals in the women’s restroom will finally get used.

    What a waste of money. Women who are so inclined just have to part their labia a little with their fingers to be able to pee standing up. If the PC muscles are strong, there’s no dribbling at the end. Some women aim with their hips, some aim by pulling their urethral opening a little.

    It’s fun to do when drinking.

    They had something like this at one of the UK music festivals a few years back. Women in long queues for the toilets were offered a plastic-covered tube as an alternative, so that they could use urinals instead. I’m not sure how successful it was.

    Back in my university days, most college girls also found it pretty effective to just squat behind a bush or around the corner in a dark alley. I know that’s been over 10 years or so since I’ve been out off school, but does that still happen?

    As a marathon runner, this is great! When you’re in the middle of a race with 20,000 other runners, the idea of loosing 10 minutes to stand in line at a porta-potty can be horrible on the muscles. And squatting is out of the question. I’ve seen runners have to drop out of a marathon because they squatted and couldn’t get the legs going again. I wouldn’t use this except for during a race, but it seems like a great idea for running.

    C’mon ladies! How uptight are you all? You’ve never been in a situation where there are no bathrooms and it is totally inappropriate to squat? I totally would use this. I have very good control over my PC muscles to pee standing up… BUT you still have to pull your pants down in order to pee standing up, no matter how strong your muscles are. I’ve tried! Unpleasant results.
