Grin at 'NATO approved'

microfight · 24/04/2011 16:10

don't you have to wipe after though?

spiderslegs · 26/04/2011 23:48

No - just shake it into the 'cup'

Honestly is a revelation - I've been pissing everwhere.

Maybe I should stop.......

Or not

I've been keeping it in the downstairs loo & have greatly enjoyed pissing all over the seat & then just popping my fly up.

I'm into whitewater hayaking so it's sometimes necessary to wee outside.

The 'shake it into a cup' thing is bollox - if you don't wipe you smell of stale wee - especially if you've had your fanjo inside a drysuit all day! Ok? Grin

forkful · 26/04/2011 23:59

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets that's exactly what I was going to post. I've thought about getting one before but never got round to it.

Marlinspike I suspect the ultimate combo is she-wee plus these bags Grin

Does Ferne Cotton have one Confused. I have one but dont have the balls Grin to use it though.

spiderslegs · 27/04/2011 00:03

Ok Forty accept there may be a need to wipe if a drysuit is involved.

Otherwise, make like a bloke & let your pants soak it up.

I've sometimes wondered about those when we're out walking and DH has nipped behind a hedge.

Even more I've wondered if they work for little girls who are a bit too old to be held to squat.

PMSL Grin

I REALLY could have done with one of these on my last holiday. For some reason I felt embarrassed and ashamed but you've converted me. I'm definitely getting one.

flyingspaghettimonster · 27/04/2011 00:24

Like the bit on that link where if you aren't sure a shewee is for you, ring this number... what is it, Fearne Cotton's personal line, or Deemented's mother in law, ready to rave about how awesome it is? [cgrin]

MilkNoSugarPlease · 27/04/2011 00:29

Dee, I remember you asking about taking the piss and buying her one....can't believe she likes it!! :(

spiderslegs · 27/04/2011 00:30

I particularly appreciate the fact they're NATO approved.

Really, if they weren't. I wouldn't.

Anyhoo, am off for another NATO approved piss.

Euuuuw...

In the link to those bags 'gel solidifies urine and other substances'

MollieO · 27/04/2011 00:35

Thx for the link deemented. Not sure what to make of user tip to put it in the dishwasher! Ugh.

spiderslegs · 27/04/2011 00:35

Right, I come back with news from the front line.

If you move closer to the seat as the stream diminishes not a drop is wasted.

I now deem pissing in the seat as an agressive act. I previously thought it a biological quirk.

Arse.

Although may have to re-think now after DH posed the question;

'Which is worse, using your mother's she-wee as a snorkel or using a pair of her dirty knickers to blow your nose?'

I can only assume he was party to both & did nothing about either.....

OP posts:
flyingspaghettimonster · 27/04/2011 03:47

omg spiderslegs, I about wet myself yesterday...

PinotGrigiosKittens · 27/04/2011 09:52

I have a shewee (for when we drive through France...french loos are fugly) and I can't do it without, you know, dripping. Is there a knack to it? I don't have a baggy fanjo if that helps [cgrin]

spiderslegs · 27/04/2011 10:13

Does your Shewee have a prostate problem Pinot? that can cause dripping.....

Oh Spiderslegs - the post about using your mothers Shewee as a snorkle versus using a pair of mothers dirty knickers to blow your nose has right put me off my corned beef pastie. And i was enjoying it too.

Milk - She does love it indeed - she's told me that it's really useful when she's on the back of her DP's motorbike she doesn't have to stop for a wee anymore....

GrimmaTheNome · 27/04/2011 10:57

Octopus - there is no perfect way but: if possible remove lower clothing. Support child so that she's as near as possible in a sitting position (a treetrunk to lean against helps a lot). Position a rolled up tissue to try to direct the flow down and between.

It sometimes works, -ish Grin.

For goodness sakes someone tell us if the shewee works for little girls!!!!

Quenelle · 27/04/2011 11:04

I remember seeing women peeing into urinals at Reading Festival. This was years ago, before the advent of shewees so I've no idea how they managed it.

I'm definitely going to get a shewee for my next camping holiday. But I'll use it with the urine collection bag instead of peeing into bushes. That way I won't even have to get out of bed. Also I'm terrified of ending up on youtube.

HipposGoBeserk · 27/04/2011 11:07

How to help your 4yo wee without splattering everyone:

Stand behind your 4yo.
Pull down pants / leggings etc and lift up skirts (hers, not yours).
Okay - this sounds slightly complicated but it isn't: put your hands on her hips (you're still standing behind her remember), slide down the outside of her thighs, fingers pointing to the ground, then swivel your hands so you are holding her behind her thighs, your thumbs outside her knees and pointing forwards.
Lift her onto this little thigh seat you have made with your fingers.
She will fold in half, back resting on your tummy, her knees up by her ears.
Bare bum dangling and bits pointing away from you, she can now wee in every direction (and she will) without getting any on you, your shoes or her clothes.

Hth.
