I got a she-wee!

[ahumanfemale]

Different brand but same idea. I am unbelievably happy. The gifted bought it because her friend makes this brand. Anyway. For all those places with "gender neutral" and men's loos, where we know the men using "gender neutral" when they have another choice will likely be the ones we want to avoid, I think I now have the way ahead!

But you don't need this if you're wearing a skirt. Outdoors pee'ing isn't a problem.

In addition to faling foul of nettles, my ability to soak my own shoes and ankle-level knickers when squatting is unlimited. I'd put my feet further apart but my knickers are a very effective hobble.

I'd far rather lift the front hem of the skirt and use a FUD.

Take one leg out of knickers- it really isn't a problem. It's far, far easier than when wearing trousers or shorts.

I've never had the problems you mentioned but then I've never been daft enough to pick a site beside nettles.

We do long car journeys (10 hrs) in France at times and I hate with a passion most of the motorway toilets (there are a few that are ok but on major holidays there are often long queues at those). The others are often dirty, smelly and I feel scared in them because you never know who is waiting in them.

I usually don't drink much the day before and on the journey, to avoid needing to go all that often. The toilets aren't nice for the kids either and DH doesn't like them so we usually make extra pee-stops for him and the kids at the truck stop/picnic lay-bys. But there's nowhere for me to pee there without walking quite far from the lay-by and then being out of sight..which I feel equally scared about. I find squatting to pee a very vulnerable state to be in. Being able to stand up, so I'm at least visible to DH would be more comfortable- assuming I don't end up covered in pee! 😂

I'm afraid I couldn't successfully use mine, I bought it to use at festivals. But I'm sure you're cordinated than me (wouldn't be hard).

Ha, I have always quite wanted one of these..oh for the convenience to if caught short, be able to go hide in a corner round the backstreet, rather than walking like a demented chicken trying to find the nearest loos, or risk sitting on a patch of nettes!

@ahumanfemale I agree with you about French public toilets -- I used to drive through France regularly and they are disgusting! Once the ladies' queue was very long and an employee came along and grabbed 20 women from the back of the queue and led them into the men's. I was among them and their loo was even worse!

Contrast Germany, whose Autobahn service stations have the cleanest loos I've ever seen! They all do this:

You pay 70c to use the loos, but you get 50c back if you spend money in the shop of restaurant. You just have to remember to go to the loo first before spending any money.

Oh, and single sex loos.

I found that I had to cut my pubic hair short to use a She-wee, otherwise the urine would wick up the hair and go over the side onto my clothes.

Hmm. tbh, between that and the need to adjust clothing, and wondering about controlling the volume so there's no overflow, I'm not sure that I'm up to this level of coordination and dexterity.

You don't have to control the volume ime and I have never had trouble with wicking either.
The secret is to hold it quite firmly against yourself. (Of course, it might be that other people are doing that already and the shape just fits some people better than others.)

I found the easiest way to learn was to start off using it sitting on the loo quite far back. Once you trust it not to leak it's easy to learn to do it standing up. Practising in the shower didn't really help me.

The secret is to hold it quite firmly against yourself.

Yes that definitely helps me. Also, angle the funnel down by tilting your hips forward. If the funnel is approaching anywhere near horizontal then it pools and spills.

I found that one a disaster, I think it needs to be a firmer material.

They sell them in Poundland in the summer.

Maybe try sitting down katie or reading the thread.

@Katietrans Don't send me a private message asking for tips.
Makes you come across as every kind of wrong.

Yeah sent me one too, that is weird behaviour.

Please go and start your own thread @Katietrans this thread has nothing to do with you.

*your issue.

Im transgender male to female and getting gender reassignment surgery to become a woman. Learning to pee your method. Any advice on the shewee? looking for advice

My advice would be that if you don't have the operation you won't need one.

Good god ignore the troll.

The secret to using them is to hold them very very firmly with the back sort of angled upwards so it fits very tight,almost on the point of starting to hurt a bit (but not quite). I have had one for many years and it has never leaked when I use it, though I admit I don't use it regularly

I did use it on the side of an A road once. My car had broken down and had to wait almost 3 hours for a tow and I was absolutely desperate, (had been planning to stop at the next services just before breaking down)

Across the other side of the A road I was on were several lorries stopped in layby as well so I had no desire to squat behind some very sparse bushes across the road from a bunch of lorry drivers. Instead I stood with my back to them, partially hidden by some bushes and used the shee wee. Luckily I was wearing trousers and could just undo the zip/button and use it like that. I was unreasonably please with myself, it felt sort of freeing.

Oh great. A pee troll.

Bumbling I'm looking forward to that feeling! :)

I used a cardboard disposable one at glasto years ago, in a female urinal block. It was fab. And so quick!

I made sure to tilt it downwards so there was no danger of it flowing backwards, but tbh I was so desperate at that point that peeing was inevitable. There was zero chance of nerves interfering! DF wasn't quite as desperate, and couldn't bring herself to 'let go'.

I did find that I had to pull my trousers down past my bum though, as did all the other ladies (it was quite a comical sight, but we had had several ciders, hence the need to pee....)

Probably a jumper round the waist would solve that at the roadside or whatever. And possibly a more rigid plastic device could hold its shape against pressure from clothes in a way a cardboard one couldn't.

I am not a troll. I am asking for serious advice

This is a thread full of women discussing issues specific to female anatomy and urination. If you want to discuss issues specific to surgically-altered male anatomy, you need to find a board with people who have experience of that.

Shoehorning your issues into a discussion which is definitely not for people with your anatomy just makes you look like a pervy troll.
