I have found the coolest new invention, but it's really only going to appeal to the girls. And, this is going to end up sounding like an infomercial, but I can't help it. I'm in awe.
I dread using public toilets. I think they are disgusting, even if cleaned regularly. Because of this, I rarely use them while I'm out and about. I'll hold it until I get home, if at all possible. And, if I am forced to use a public toilet, I line the seat with toilet paper to avoid potentially catching nasty diseases. I'm sure I'm uber paranoid about this, but I shiver at the thought of catching crabs from the chick who used the seat before me.
Anyway, I saw a product on the amazing!internet called GoGirl, which claims to allow a woman to pee standing up, whether she's in a public restroom, on a camping trip, or stopping on the side of the road. I thought it would surely be uncomfortable or unusable, but I ordered it just for the laughs. Payroll Girl and I were both intrigued, but didn't think it would be practical. But, it was just over $7 with shipping and handling, so that wasn't much to lose.
The cylinder is small enough to fit in almost any purse--under four inches long and about an inch and a half in diameter. Inside, you find the GoGirl, a plastic bag (for disposal), and a piece of tissue paper. However, the Go-Girl can be reused, so the plastic bag can double as a container to hold the device until it can be washed properly.
The directions are fairly self-explanatory. You place the device against you, aim the spout, and let go. Yes, this means you pee like a man. I love it. More than I should, probably. There's just something so empowering about peeing while standing. My main concern was leakage, but I've used it twice and have had absolutely no problem with cleanliness at all. It's designed perfectly.
The best thing is that they're not all that expensive, especially considering they can be reused many times. You can read all about how awesome they are and purchase one (or a pack of three) at their website.
