They all have similarities – they’re reusable, washable, liquid repellent and claim reams of uses such as camping, trekking, climbing, sailing, traffic jams, when women find themselves with unsanitary toilets or without one at all. But each one looks slightly different and all have patented designs. So which one, if any, is the best? We tried the lot. That visual is enough to discomfort most ladies who don’t want wet hiking pants, but I wouldn’t be writing this if it didn’t also miraculously work. The end of the Pibella which meets your body inserts just enough to feel reassuring but not invasive: You will know beyond a doubt when it’s in the right spot to work. At the beginning of my trials, I was certain this would leak, but by the end, my thinking had reversed. There’s a bigger learning curve, but I think it’s well worth getting acquainted with the Pibella when it comes time to head out on the trail.” Once you’ve received your Shewee, you’re just about ready to start peeing standing up, but follow the tips below for a mess-free first experience. 1. Test it out at home When hiking, camping, or traveling to certain areas, squatting may be the only way to pee. However, it can also be awkward and messy. Yes, the Shewee is designed to be suitable for all body types. It is adjustable and can be positioned according to individual preference.

The Whiz freedom is much stiffer than the GoGirl but still a bit flexible which made it easier to get the all-important body seal just right. It worked first time in the shower and first time with pants. Even though the plastic is flexible, it was still firm enough pee with underwear and unzipped pants pressing against it without the seal being breached. The flow didn’t quite match the Shewee, but it still coped with the bigger whizzes. This not-too-hard not-too-soft option just needed a bit of a man shake for drip-free removal and was the clear winner for us. Whether you spend a long time in a police vehicle on a stake out, are on a long murder investigation or simply walking the beat, Shewee gives women Police Officers the safety, ease and freedom the men have always taken for granted. Shewee is particularly useful for the Police women wearing riot gear, cumbersome clothing or just the heavy uniform utility belts. They can simply urinate using a Shewee and without removing any clothes. Shewee is great if women Police Officers have to ask to use a resident’s bathroom, sometimes in run down areas of the community – it not only enables them to stand up away from the dirty/germ ridden toilets it also means they do not have to remove their utility belts. Removing these belts takes time, is cumbersome and can be a worry. It’s best to try it at home before using it outdoors, and it’s recommended that you test it out in the shower first. It’s also a good idea to practice using it standing next to the toilet while wearing outdoor clothes.You can hold the Venus To Mars female urination device in only one hand, which frees your other to hold your pants, your bag, or whatever else you need at the moment. It also won’t overflow due to its open-top design, which is a BIG plus for readers!

The answer to our pee-like-a-man dreams are weeing devices – or Female Urination Devices (FUDs) – funnel shaped pieces of plastic that allow women to urinate standing up and without removing clothes. We found three types: Shewee, GoGirl and Whiz freedom. Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Do you have any tips or advice you’d like to share with us about using the She Wee? Leave a comment below and let us know. The temptation is to press the Shewee against you, hoping there are no spills. This doesn’t work well, and this is when accidents happen. Don’t create a vacuum. Prepare the Shewee: Before getting into the car, make sure you have a clean and dry Shewee. It’s important to keep it hygienic for future use.

Due to its open design, the pStyle allows you to get the angle just right in a confined space, making it the most agile of the bunch. It’s made with rigid plastic, but it’s narrow and a little shallower than the others, meaning it can slide more easily through a harness and under jeans (pants with zippers make things easier; high-waisted leggings make it much harder). It’s less of a funnel and more like a baby luge. Due to it being long and short (in terms of height), the pStyle doesn’t need a lot of space to operate. While the upper opening seals against your body, the “spout” portion is not enclosed, which means there’s splash potential if you’re not careful. I was a little nervous that the opening would be too shallow, but it sealed well and worked as advertised even with jeans and a harness. After a couple uses, you’ll get the angle down—start by pressing the pStyle firmly against yourself, lean a little forward, and let gravity do the rest. One reader, who loves this safe device, says she always takes hers on hiking trips. “It’s great in squatting situations!” FUDs come in a range of shapes and sizes, so we recruited a fearless thru-hiker to try them all to find out which ones were convenient, portable, and spill-proof—and which ones weren’t (let’s just say she did a lot of laundry).

If you’re using a Shewee (and not a similar product made by another company) you’ll have to fit the hose into the funnel when you have to go. All you need to do to use your Shewee is unzip your pants, move your underwear to the side and nestle the Shewee against your pelvis – the top part sits against your public bone while the extended part slides underneath to catch any drips. Make sure you’re holding it securely before you start to go, and also pay attention to where the spout is pointing so you’re not accidentally peeing on a wasp’s nest. 5. Clean it Thankfully there is another way to go—many women have now turned to female urination devices, also known as FUDs or pee funnels. While you can find them in different shapes, sizes, and materials, they all have one distinct purpose—they allow you to go in a standing position. The Pibella definitely looks intimidating. It’s small, and your window of success is quite literally only about an inch long and a half-inch wide. I was almost certain I was going to get the alignment wrong. Though it looks impossible, it works. I like the Pibella because it’s light, sturdy, and low-profile. The spout is shorter, like the pStyle, which is why I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them for steep or high-alpine environments, where the elements often make it preferable to control direction with an extension tube. The pStyle and Pibella are compact and discreet, however, making them easy to store and making the decision to bring them along easy as well.

Cons

Wearers feel “they are so useful!!” for outdoor situations like a music festival, camping, hiking, and more! The Shewee is the female urination device for you? We LOVE it. It’s a top-quality device at a very reasonable price. It also works better than much of their competition, which will leave you without pee all over your legs or shoes.
