GoGirl

The first one that I found and mentioned a few months ago was GoGirl.  This little thing is smaller than most the others and instead of directing your pee, it gathers it.   In my searching there have been a couple more to add to the list.

Whiz Freedom

World’s first and #1 hydrophobic, anti-bacterial and eco-friendly female urine director.

I’m still researching the idea of a urine director.  I’m sure it allows you to utilize your zipper or other outlet, but when I’m riding in bibs or have long johns when camping, I don’t have anything to direct it out.

pStyle

The pStyle is a plastic device that allows you to pee standing up without undressing. It is a simple design that works exceptionally well.

Peeing in hard plastic?  It sounds like a disaster of splashing and leaking waiting to happen!

It is advertised as

GoGirl1If you camp, you’ll love GoGirl. If you ski, you’ll love GoGirl. If you boat, you’ll love GoGirl. If you travel, you’ll love GoGirl. If you just want to avoid the germs you find in nasty public toilets, you’ll love GoGirl. GoGirl is for active women of all types and ages.

It caught my attention because how often are you stuck somewhere needing to pee horribly and you simply can’t because we have to drop your pants and squat?  I’m always being told to “use a sissy jar” on the long car trips, on the side of a bike trail somewhere or in a concert somewhere when the line is 30 minutes long.

Shortly I should have one in my hands to see how easy, reusable and thought out it really .s
