Go Girl
I was just reading an article about a product that will allow women to stand up while peeing.
The device is said to be for women who travel, go to concerts, have to use port-a-potties or are “germaphobics.” Here is the link: Link
This question is for women.Do you really wish you could pee standing up?
Comments (225)
Oh, yuck. I can see all kinds of UTIs resulting from women using that…thing. No, I have no desire to pee standing up! :-p
Kathi
no
no no no no no no no no
ummm… no.
Hahaha! xD That’s disturbing.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now I can pee on passing cars!
DISGUSTING!
uh… no.
Sometimes. Concert bathrooms…eck!
Something similar has been around for years, yes that is one thing I would like to be able to do once in a while. Guys have it easy in that respect! But I don’t want to own one of those….
Shit, I’ll take one and I have a penis.
Noo.
wtf is up with britt_miles?
Also,
EWW
Well see, that’s why most women have perfected the ability to levitate over the toilet instead of actually sitting on it in icky public places that you’ve mentioned. However, I’ll be the first one to admit that I can’t pee outside in nature without going all over my shoes, so maybe this thing has some uses.
girls can pee standing up.
Nope. Wait, so like, is it dispensable? Cause 4.99 for a one time use thing is expensive.
And if it’s not dispensable, what are you suppose to do? Clean it every time it’s used? That is just disgusting.
Not every day, but sure, maybe if the bathroom is disgusting! It’s just a streamlined funnel!
Not really, no. That’s kind of… Nergh.
that is bizarre. i’m perfectly content sitting.
Wow… just… wow.
Ewww, no thank you.
I’m a germaphobe, so when I really have to go to the bathroom and I’m forced to use a public restroom, one of those would be really nice.
that’s weird. I never actually thought about peeing standing up before 0_o
I’d like to write my name in snow some day. But damn, carrying that thing?! It kinda defeats the purpose imo because man, I’d have to take that thing to the sink and wash/rinse it out w/ soap or what?!?! I dont know man. What if I DONT wash it right away (and wait till I return home), insert it back into the case and like the case opens up and that urine infested thing falls out into my purse and like contaminates everything else in there?! lol. Okay now I’m just over analyzing.
Only when I’m somewhere that doesn’t have a “facility.”
Thus ends the age of male domination!!!
In some situations, yeah. I’d rather pee on a tree instead of using some disgusting port-a-potty.
Oh, and a product like this has already been done. It’s called Female Freedom.
I invented this design years ago after much hiking in PA, being jealous of my husband’s ability to pee anytime, anywhere.
Seems God was just about done creating the universe, had a couple of left-over things left in his bag of creations, so he stopped by to visit Adam and Eve in the Garden. He told the couple that one of the things he had to give away was the ability to stand up and pee. “It’s a very handy thing,” God told the couple who he found hanging around under an apple tree. “I was wondering if either one of you wanted that ability.” Adam popped a cork!! He jumped up and begged, “Oh, give that to me! I’d love to be able to do that! It seems the sort of thing a Man should do. Oh please, oh please, oh please, let me have that ability. I’d be so great! When I’m working in the garden or naming the animals, I could just let it rip, I’d be sooooo cool. Oh please, God, let it be me who you give that gift to, let me stand and pee, oh please………” On and on he went like an excited little boy (who had to pee ).
Eve just smiled and shook her head at the display. She told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, and it sure seemed to be the sort of thing that would make him happy, she really wouldn’t mind if Adam were the one given the ability to stand up and pee. And so it was. And it was………..well, good. “Fine,” God said, looking back into his bag of left-over gifts. “What’s left here? Oh yes, multiple orgasms…”
Joke from lotsofjokes.com
if in a concert, I’d prefer standing up to squatting, so yes.
Yes, I wish I could pee standing up. I’ll even admit that I’ve tried to do it before. :X
@nidan - So in order for females to throw off the shackles of male domination…they must become males?
Really? All these nos?
Although we’ve mastered the art of squatting, I’d rather take a whiz standing up… maybe then the lines would be shorter.
Oh because that is so much more convenient
imagine security at a concert finding that little gem in your bag… touching it , looking at it, trying to explain no it’s not a smoking device and yes I took a piss in it just an hour ago you might want to use gloves
If you could see what pigs some women are in public bathrooms, you wouldn’t even need to ask that question. I wouldn’t mind having one of those for emergency use in a nasty bathroom stall.
LOL, EW!
haha
And, that’s disgusting. I feel like washing my pee tube out!
Hahaha. I don’t wish that badly.
Really? That’s weird, and disgusting…and I’d just squat
Oh hush, this thing would be awesome for camping.
@XAngelExpress31X , @IfonEarth , @eyesochinky , and @lizheartshakespeare - You all do realize that urine is sterile right? Maybe a bit icky but sterile none the less. This is why girls don’t get a penis!!!
it would be a bit helpful at places that are gross. but ive never had that desire..
@eyesochinky - My mind was going to those same places when I read this post! Germy and gross!
Man, if I could pee standing up…. awesome.
@Winkoh - That’s great!
I’m okay with sitting down
@randomneuralfirings - Jokey eyes, jokey eyes, jokey eyes!!! Those were my jokey eyes!!!
no thanks! =)
That’s kinda gross.
@nidan - IIRC, It’s not really… “Sterile.” Our urine just dosn’t have any germs that aren’t already in our own systems. That’s why you can pee on your own wounds, but you shouldn’t let someone else pee on it for you.
@jediwa72 - i know, right?….ugh
hahaha.no need..but that would be helpful…hehe
@nidan - no i didnt know. i never cared to study urine lol. to me, its a “bodily waste” so yea, its a bit icky. and it smells. i wouldnt want to get it on my tampons, my lip gloss, my wallet, and whatever else i may have in my purse!
@Still_groovy - lol we’re such “girls”.
um NO thanks…I’ll stick to the traditional squat when necessary
YAY
I’d use it… shit. I hate having to pop a freakin squat in those disgusting places.
haha that’s so funny
i’ve only thought of it once or twice, and it usually occurs when we’ve been driving for hours, and i desperately have to pee.
@nidan -
No prob. Though thanks for the reassurance that I can take you seriously on another occasion.
Actually that’s quite interesting. I’ve never really thought about it, but after quick consideration it could be helpful in the places you mentioned.
well maybe it would come in handy
but definately not on a regular basis
ive never minded
that’s just WEIRD
@IfonEarth - Only if you have a bladder infection. Other germs in you body don’t pass throught the kidneys. They tend to be eradicated in your bloodstream.
no !
@eyesochinky - Of course I studied urine. I was once a little boy!!!
@randomneuralfirings - Coup!!!
I already just hover above the seat…I haven’t touched a public toilet seat for years.
@nidan - LMAO!
You think you’re so cool cause you can pee with your penis!
Ahahahahahaha.
..Sometimes.
Haha
But I agree that it’d be disgusting to have to clean one of those :
wow. Never entered my mind… But now that you mention it….
I go behind bushes when I’m hiking all the time, and I’m not a very hardcore camper.
Go girl is for wimps!
In certain situations, yes, it’d make life easier. There’s a brand like that over in the UK but it is reuseable… after washing of course..
Seriously?!
I mean, I’m sort of a germaphobe but I would not use that..
Maybe if I was outside in the woods or something and had an emergency…But I don’t have wild dreams to pee standing up.
I already saw something like this a whiiiile back from Malaysia.
i wouldn’t use that thing but YES, i wish i could pee standing up (without making a mess). public restrooms are more disgusting than this thing. at least if i get pee on my hands, it is my OWN pee.
it sucks having to squat.
ps. urine is sterile.
@nidan - Alright, fair enough. I mean, I always thought that when it’s still in your bladder, it’s still sterile, but that it isn’t really “sterile” anymore once it leaves your body, whether or not you have an infection, because of contact with… Well, everything else. (Why in the world am I going on about this?) Eh. I don’t know anymore. Now I’m just confused.
No, pop-up tissue and sanitary wipes are cheaper.
Who said girls can’t already pee standing up??
YES. if i was able to, i probably wouldn`t. but i would like the option.
I wish women would pee standing up.
Womens bathrooms are DISGUSTING.
Its all the hovering. You all are disgusting and putting your ass on a toilet seat can give you know no more diseases that holding a subway pole.
I can and do pee standing up.
Ick. Can you imagine washing your hands in a restroom and seeing another woman washing that in the next sink.
@IfonEarth - Fair enough, it does carry the germs of what ever it touches!!!
No I don’t.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Perhaps they should make it a strap on and more phallic…. Then it could serve multiple purposes.
@KylieCoo - hahahaha xD
Honestly, yes. I wish I could pee standing up.
C’mon, girls, be honest. You’re with a bunch of friends somewhere and a guy has to pee…he turns into the darkness and does as he pleases. We have to suffer and wait to find an actually bathroom, or if we’re willing, a thick enough forest to pop a squat so no one will see… I’d use it.
um… no, I have no desire to pee while standing…
Only when I’m camping or if I’m somewhere with an abominably disgusting toilet.
I find my germaphobism freaking out at the thought of that…thing.
On the other hand, I do want to travel a lot. And in my field I very well may be in less than stellar places where plumbing is a fairy tale. Hmmm…to stand or to squat?
It’s like a funnel to pee in? That’s kind of gross. I wouldn’t use that.
No. Just…no.
Heck yeah! The only way I’d have been able to write my name in the snow prior to this is if my name had been “Dot”.
I would use it in public places, and for when am at work those bathrooms are just nasty.
~Alexx
@Winkoh - HAHAHA, that’s hilarious.
Me, I’ll pass for now, since my thigh muscles are still strong enough to squat. There’s a disposable version (P-mate) though, for those who are complaining of the cost. And once I’m having difficulty squatting, I would definitely consider one of these.
Ew. That is so gross on so many levels. and I think Kathi (the first commenter) said it best. geesh. *shakes head* NO I do NOT wish I could pee standing up!!
um.. NO!
It isn’t about wishing we could stand when we are peeing, it’s about not wanting to touch some nasty toilet seat.
Imagine washing your hands at a concert or baseball game, next to the HYGIENIC lady who is washing the pee out of her pee-tube in the adjacent sink.
What next, toilet-fearing women? Depends thongs?
not really
No not really. And if you’re afraid of germs just squat over the toilet and pee like that. Come one, everyone’s done that before.
Oh hell yes. That would be awesome. But I wouldn’t want to trade my vagina for a penis.
Would I use that thing? No way. Can you even imagine the sanitary problems that would go with it? Gross.
Lulz. My friends and I often joke when we go backpacking that men how the awesome power of wilder-pee while women do not.
im not sure if you can get herpes from a public toliet seat, so i always hover a little in the target center whatever.
but sure, i wouldnt mind if i could maybe instead of using portapotties at the lake or whatever.
I wouldn’t use that.
Well, I have to admit I’ve never thought about it. But it’s not as if we can’t pee standing up now, is it?
PS–can you imagine putting that back in your purse after using it? EWW!
uhm.
definitely not.
I like peeing standing up. It makes me feel like not a total queer.
Haha, that’s funny. As uncomfortable as it is to squat, I doubt I’ll be buying that anytime soon xD
no not really
Sometimes… esp. when there’s no where to go on a long cartrip through the mountains. oh yeah. squatting is tough then.
i knew a girl who had something like that back in 2006. I never saw her use it, but she used it.
Hmmmm maybe.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like to pee standing up in the shower sometimes. it’s quite fun.
id never use that thing though. like wtf, woman.
@impossibleangles - i hike all the time in PA too! i feel ur pain
I don’t want to carry that thing in my purse, its huge. However, sometimes I do wish I can pee standing up such as in public restroom in New York City.
While I was traveling overseas this might’ve come in handy, but I’m still not sure I’d use it.
No…that is so weird.
@Still_groovy - Haha, agree! Although it might sound like a good thing esp for germophobic people like me but not so hygene. Haha it’s only $4.99
Um. I totally will already, if the alternative is that bad.
No.
I WANT TO WRITE MY NAME IN THE SNOW, DAMNIT!
It would come in handy at times but usually squatting does the trick.
Sure.
Not enough to stick some rando device up my snatch.
no
Been there, did that, didn’t need the cup. New obsession, please.
No
I have to say I think this is a pretty nifty invention… Ok yes woman don’t HAVE to touch the toilet seat, but sometimes it is hard to hover over the seat… & there are a lot of icky place where I don’t want my butt to touch…
similar products have actually been around for years.
and no, i don’t care about peeing while standing up.
overrated.
It does kinda suck when you know the next bathroom is far away… maybe trips cross country?
no. i can’t aim for shit.
No!
@nidan - hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I used to want to pee standing up when I was little. It seemed so much more convenient. … I also wanted to wear trunks becasue it seemed more comfortable than a bikini. Perhaps my bikini was just a little too tight? ;P But I was like 6… I didn’t tolerate anything I didn’t like!
Girls that can’t already pee standing up are pussies.
No.
@XAngelExpress31X - that’s what I was thinking!
YUCK
…thats my Mums birthday present sorted.
What do you do with it when you’re done, put the dripping thing in your purse? EWW!
I can pee standing up very well without the use of that… thing…
I dont though… I sit down… like normal… I swear.
I bought a travel pack of seat liners from walgreens. i’m good with that.
My gunner has one of those so she can piss into a bottle when we’re on the road.
My friend used to be able to pee standing up. She never explained how though. Maybe she had to “aim?” I dunno. Maybe she stood with her feet on either side of the toilet and slightly bent her legs? Perhaps.
But, it would be convenient if we could do it without carrying around a little piss thing.
i’m fine the way we’ve been. i reckon after 26 years, i should be able to get used to it by now…
@Winkoh - HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
oh wow A+
YES! Do you know how hard it is hovering over that stupid public toilet? It seems as though I’m alone on this one . . .
yeah they should make them disposable
@Winkoh - lolol!!! good one
no!!
i think i’m too conditioned to pee standing up now.
Sometimes I do, and I’ve heard about this thing before (wasn’t it popular in Europe?) anyways I don’t think I would ever use it.
I think every girl has tried to pee standing up at least once in her life.
They just don’t like to admit that they’ve tried. Most fail and splatter piss all over the toliet seatl. I’d love to hear a success story, though.
I have no desire to use one of those. If I am at a place with a disgusting looking toilet then I will hover and pee. If thats not an option then I will squat near a tree somewhere.
Just not down to use one of those things. Thats an infection waiting to happen.
@nidan - Hehe your comment is hilarious.
I already can pee standing up.
I do wish I could pee standing up, but not using that!
i’m asian. after visiting asia a few times, i’ve mastered the art of simply squatting. (=
Yeah, I’d like to write my name in the snow.
It’s not really the standing up part for me… just the whole being able to whip it out and go.
So, it’s more of the bipper thing for me. xD
awwww come on now……you ladies know it would be alot easier to write your name in he snow with once of these…….lol…..
My wife often watches me with envy.
No, thank you. I heard about that a few years ago, actually. The only time it would be handy is out in the woods with no toilets in sight.
They’ve had that for YEARS in camping gear. I don’t know what the big deal is now.
Kinda like a funnel that attaches to your vagina ???
I’m glad to be a guy !!!
I’ve heard that in some European countries like Denmark or whatever, possibly even Germany, the really liberal progressive ones, have outlawed stand-up urinals. The reason is because feminists feel that not being able to stand up and pee is like a way for guys to feel somehow superior to women. No inequalities, no urinals. How silly is that?
I’ve always wanted to try. Haha.
I first saw that device in the context of women-to-men “changers” who want to use the mens’ bathroom but haven’t yet had the surgery that will give them a penis.
I hate to say it…..but I’ve always been jealous of guys being able to do that. But not jealous enough to buy one of these things. Like the others said, where do you put it when you’re done? Like I want that falling out of my purse over dinner! Clean or dirty! I’ll just keep sitting, squatting, or hovering thanks. Good for thigh muscles.
I just want a penis instead…
On occasion. It’s not easy to stand and deliver when you don’t have a penis. That thing should be used sparingly, though. UTI city!
oh come on! all you girls NEVER wished you could pee standing up??? i TOTALLY always wished that i could! not that i would use that product, but i’ve definitely been jealous of guys because they could pee standing up
WTH
. Ummm NO!!
I’ve actually seen stuff all over the
internet for products like this before. It’s nothing new. The one that
immediately comes to mind is just like this but called The P-Mate.
Interesting idea, but i don’t think i’d ever go for it. If a toilet is
that dirty i just cover it with toilet paper or squat in such a way
that i’m close enough but don’t actually touch the seat.
Yuck. I’d rather sit down.
If I’m in a place where I would not want to sit down, I’d rather give my thigh muscles a little workout and squat, LOL.
That thing looks like it could get messy if not placed exactly right, and held exactly right.
Nope. I don’t mind sitting.
porta-pottys are gross even though I have never set foot in one, but the stories I hear….
I wouldn’t use that, it looks like there could be a messy situation
YES! im buying this for bonnaroo.. so i dont have to get near those fuckin portopotties
Ew, no!!!
The only time I’d ever consider using one is if I was camping and there was no toilet around. Even then, I’ve got no problem with squatting, as long as I’m in a very secluded area.
Yes, for camping and hiking. Beats squatting behind a tree any day.
Um…no. I need to sit down to pee. Haha
That’s pretty gross, but I think it might be fun to have around… Writing your name in the snow anyone?
ha, I don’t think I’d ever use it, but the idea of writing my name in the snow is awesome!
Eh, I’m content with sitting.
…but then they have to carry that THING around that touched pee ? uh, no. im okay. lol.
Ew that’s weird. No thanks.
I’m fine sitting. My bf would like for me to “hover” instead of sit on a commode, but, I’m fine with it. So long as I make sure the seats decently clean, and clean myself proper, there’s not much liklihood of me getting anything from what I’ve seen about this stuff. So, yeah.
Eww.
lmfao i really don’t fancy sticking that inside me hahhahahaahahahahaha !!
not unless im camping or something like that
LOL! XD
My first thought was, yeah! That’s cool! I’d give it a try. But on second thought, after having five babies and traveling a lot, I’ve determined myself an expert at squatting without actually touching anything.
i think ill stick to sitting kthnx
No.. just no.
That sounds gross xD
And rather unnecessary as well…
um, no. i like sitting, thanks.
concerts? really? do they expect us to carry these in our purses? that’s just gross.
Question: Do I wish I could pee standing up?
Answer: Not enough to haul that sucker along with me anywhere.
All I have to say is I live a BLOCK from the park where they tested these and I didn’t even know about them! lol.
only if my legs were sore from something..
or if the bathrooms were disgustingbut it hasn’t been a dream of mine
its unusual that someone would just come up with that idea.imagine what their family/friends think! eek!
that product doesn’t look promising… so no…
You really honestly could not find anything better to blog about than this device??? Good lord!
maybe for camping. thats about it. i hate squatting in the woods.
Interesting… maybe useful.. but still kind of gross and odd
most people who commented here didn’t read the link. it’s not just so you can pee standing up and thus be like a man. it’s so you don’t have to sit on gross public toilets and get infected from them, etc.
it comes with a seal-able bag so that you can put it safely in a purse or whatever until you can clean it. or you can throw it away. and i assume it’s much less gross than having to sit on a gross toilet seat, having to go in the woods or snow or what have you.
anyways, not a girl, but as i was reading the link i thought that my gf would love this. we go camping a lot.
@kakyuu - Exactly! Especially camping in cold weather, when I don’t want to have to unbundle enough to squat. This is a great idea.
No Thanks! I think I will stick to sitting down…The “Go-Girl” just seems like it would be awkward to use and carry…
usually, in public restrooms or.. something along those lines..
clean women squat. right?lol.i know i do.i really don’t think we need funnels to urinate.
Lol.
Now women CAN feel equal, finally!
it would be good for camping where there aren’t bathrooms. other than that……..
Yuss
ohhhh no…Its called hovering..that thing is going to give someone a huge infection and Then are you supposed to throw it away or clean it every time you use it…I would not want to have to clean something like that and then have it in my purse all the time…That’s just NASTY!
I hate porta pottys, but that device seems potentially problematic.
hahahaha
If I were granted the ability to pee standing up, I’d want the whole enchilada.
That product just seems like a waste of plastic anyway. No woman needs to pee standing up, and the oil used to make those frivolous investments will not be replaced. Just more shit to clog our supermarket aisles and landfills.
LOL this is interesting. Verrrrrrrrry interesting. I would try it, but I don’t know how awkward it’ll be.
HECK. YES. haha.
Ewww gross i’d rather not!
:-0
Sometimes, like when a bathroom is freaking disgusting… I don’t wanna sit on a dirty toilet seat…
uhhhh
you would get more germs carrying that thing around thank if you were to sit on a dirty toilet for a few seconds!!!!
EW!
I have wanted to before because of nasty bathrooms
You never know what you’ll catch these days
lmao Now Everyone has a Penis
whee! We can all play a Pee Battle now x)
aha no it’d be too weird, knowing that that’s how guys pee.
but, it might be more convenient. just ..weird
