To love my She-wee

[spiderslegs]

Just got one for my birthday & can't stop pissing all over the garden - bloke style.....

[NorthernGobshite]

This has to win 'thread of the year' surely?? Love it.

[PinotGrigiosKittens]

So it's just me and a 4 year old who can't use it then?

I got asked about these by my gran (80 this year) who was going on a walking holiday and has trouble squatting since she broke her hip. I've got one and was describing how to use it.

Turns out the main thing she wanted to know was that she'd heard you can get them in different colours to coordinate with your mobile phone????

[GrimmaTheNome]

Awesome gran!

[paddypoopants]

ooh, I love mine. DH gave it to me as a valentines day present. I used it at night camping- I pissed in a bottle it was fab. My ds keeps saying its for doing pees and poos in. Haven't tried the latter.

They had female urinals and the disposable version of a she-wee the 'p-mate' at the London Marathon last week

The idea of weeing with other women standing next to me doing the same

I quite like the idea of one for camping and emergency wee's when running, but not in full view of others...I would definitely get stage fright

[threestars]

I could have done with one of these at the no-facilities beach I went to on Monday. I was so desperate, I had to crouch down in the dunes while DH kept pretending somebody was just walking into view. Horrible!

[piprabbit]

Are shewees the new mooncup?

[piprabbit]

For those of us with a disappointingly small shewee.

[SoupDragon]

This looks far more comfortable.

[Doyouthinktheysaurus]

LOL soupdragon fit in your pocket nicely, that one, won't it

I may get a shewee! When I run in the Downs, the trees aren't dense enough to wee in without being seen, shewee may be the answer.

[givemushypeasachance]

I've got a shewee - I bought one years ago when I was going hiking and thought it would be handy for alfresco toilet trips. The advice was to practice in the shower so I did a few times and could never get it right without "leakage" - either I kept putting it in the wrong place or I was peeing too forcefully or something. Sadly it was resigned to the back of a cupboard and I haven't seen it the last few times I moved house!

[chimchar]

[cgrin] soupdragon...far more my style i think!

[KangaRue]

Invaluable when camping, I've even used it on top of a mountain in Petra, Jordan. Mine lives in a plastic zip pouch in my handbag, for easy access when there are dodge loos, but most recently has been most useful for all the antenatal wee tests - much easier to fill those tiny tubes.

They are plastic that repel liquid and you just need to unzip trousers & lower slightly at the front ( or raise the front of a skirt) keeping rear modesty. Angle hips back & away you go. Must admit I practiced at home to avoid stage fright!

DD and I saw them in Fishers in Keswick last time we were there. But IIRC the instructions recommended practising in the shower and both DD and I were "Eugh! Peeing in the shower||"

Does it take a lot of practice though before you can use it without dribbling? Can't help feeling it would be useful when out walking.

[dizzy77]

I had a go with some cardboard folding funnel implements at a festival a few years ago: agree with TragicallyHip on stage fright, just couldn't let go with my trousers up! However, crouching whereever, no problem at all. The area at said festival put aside for a female urinal swiftly turned into a semi-private squat area for those too drunk impatient for the portaloos. Nice.

I used my dds portapotty in the night when I went camping.

[MinnieBar]

Thanks Hippo DD1 has just toilet trained but we had an outside emergency this week - I was trying to get her to squat but she couldn't grasp the concept and just weed standing up, so it went all over her knickers and trousers and my shoes. Will try that next time....

Look according to Amazon they come in Nato green and desert sand [cgrin]

[fridascruffs]

I remember seeing these on Dragon's Den and they all thought it was rubbish. They were all men except for that Deborah wassername, but then she runs luxury hotels and seemed apalled at the whole concept. I am an unrich campsite type and I thought it was brilliant. I'd make a good Draogn, me.

[Quodlibet]

A friend of mine once innovatively used a vuzevela for a similar purpose when caught short at a Brazilian beach party. No-one noticed.

[SomethingSuper]

Wtf! How come I have never heard of a She-Wee and yet everyone on here is all 'Oh yes, I often piss in the garden and at festivals, Carol'?

I want a wee at the moment but I dont want a boring old wee; Now I want to piss up the side of the house or something.

[SummerRain]

for little girls i've always found having a kerb, car or other ledge about a foot or so high invaluable.

Get them to stand on the ledge whilst you hold them under the arms and then lower them down so that their arse is lower than their feet and tell them to go for it.

works every time.

[trice]

DD uses a shewee and she is 5. I suspect her of deliberately drinking more water so that she can have another go.

[adhdmum]

can you use a she wee with jeans on, or do you have to pull your jeans all the way down?
