Tester notes: “This one has a non-flexible cupping base that prevents spillage, but your shoes will certainly be wet with the short spout. The LadyJ is really meant to be used with a portable urinal attachment, rather than freeform standing and peeing. With an extender, it could really do the job, but there is still the problem of size. The LadyJ is the largest and most ungainly of the FUDs, which means it’s not very portable. Its main purpose is medical, and the funnel is appropriately sized to avoid any spills in an in-home care situation, making it a great option for recuperating from hiking injuries, perhaps— but not for the hiking itself.” GoGirl Our tester can’t recommend the Go Girl; she found it unusably wobbly. Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! My go-to way to pee when I’m outside is to find a place to pop a squat.

The SheWee is a compromise between a wide funnel design and a smaller, more ergonomic design like the Pibella. It doesn’t insert into you at all but rather provides a small funnel that fits your shape and forms a seal, making it easier to trust at first than the narrower Pibella. And, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was (albeit, with my extra plastic tube!). How to use a shewee Many of our readers have concerns about stains and splashes when using an FUD. This compact and foldable Tinkle Belle is popular due to its longer spout, which allows you to pee further away from your body, preventing accidents. 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 Yes, the Shewee is designed to be suitable for all body types. It is adjustable and can be positioned according to individual preference.

When hiking, camping, or traveling to certain areas, squatting may be the only way to pee. However, it can also be awkward and messy. The TravelJohn is non-toxic and odorless, and its spill-proof gel absorbs liquid, keeping waste disposal safe and the wearer dry. One reader says it was awkward to use initially, but it has often saved the day.

Position yourself correctly: Once inside the car, sit comfortably in the driver’s or passenger’s seat. Adjust your position so that you have enough space to maneuver the Shewee. Yes, the design of the Shewee allows you to use it while wearing pants. However, make sure they are loose-fitting to ensure easy maneuverability.

There are other practical reasons for a funnel. It’s not pleasant to pee outside when it’s blizzarding, and no one wants to leave a warm tent on a cold night to go squat in a snowdrift. Or maybe there’s poison ivy all over the ground, or you’re on steep terrain. Whatever the reason, it’s pretty liberating to be able to drink as much water as you want without having to take into consideration your future pee opportunities. Using a Shewee does not pose any significant health risks. However, it’s important to maintain proper hygiene and clean the device after each use. But don’t push the funnel close enough, so it seals the skin toShewee. Instead, keep the funnel a couple of millimetres away from your body.
