Device Allows Girls To Urinate Standing Up

Girls who hate having to sit down when they use public bathrooms may finally have an alternative.

The GoGirl, a new product created by Minnetonka, Minn., company FemMed, allows women to take bathroom breaks while standing up.

"Women have been faced with the challenge of unfit or nonexistent restrooms for quite some time," said Sarah Dillon, president and founder of GoGirl. Dillon calls GoGirl "the solution to any bathroom emergency a woman can face."

The GoGirl is made of a flexible, medical grade silicone and has a splash guard to eliminate messing or spilling.

When I was in Viet Nam in 1970 I was standing at the urinal tending to my business when the cleaning lady (mama-san) steped up to the next urinal, placed her hand (with her index finger pointing outwards) into her crotch and peed down her finger. You could've knocked me over with a feather. Trust me, this has NO sex appeal at all!

I didn't stick around to see if she washed her hands.

I have seen shoe marks, I agree. I avoid any sort of service station rest rooms, in fact, I think of that *smell* as the smell of a Texaco bathroom.
Perhaps it depends on what part of the country you’re in. It’s sad that people refuse to clean up after themselves.

I never actually “sit” on a public toilet, even if it appears clean. Appearances can be misleading and those tissue paper seat covers don’t stay in place. I still don’t want one of these devices, thank you, I manage just fine without one.

it ought to be disposable , and collapsible, waxed paper like a dixie cup. It looks bulky, and who wants on hour person after use?

Hmmmmm....girls really DO want a penis.

LOL I'm not so sure some of the feminists DON'T have a penis. We girly girls like 'em but not on our own bodies.

THe New Orleans airport has thebest ladies room I have ever seen. It has a plastic thingy around the seat and you wave your hand and it turns and is clean. Otherwise I never sit anywhere,,it is highly disturbing.

They have these sheinals,,that is what they call them,,in Baltimore in the stadium I have heard.

Plus if you wear slacks, the floor is always a mess, wet, etc, nasty and if you pull them down and sit your pants get wet.

I hate public restrooms.

Nohing new, they have made an attachment for women to pee in a bottle for aieplanes for 30 years that I know of.

I was cheap, I just kept a 3# coffee can and a roll of toilet paper in the plane.

I agree, the idea is sound if they make it biodegradable and you just flush it away after use. I know a lot of women who travel that would gladly pay for a few to keep in their purse if they could just flush it when they are done.

I might consider getting one for myself, just to carry around if I need to use a filthy restroom with no toilet paper.

They have those in France too. It was actually a pipe, that I suppose, went into the sewer system. It was inside an enclosure, I haven’t been to Russia or Asia. I can only imagine.

Instead of a reusable — yecch — one they should have made packs of five in cases of 100 out of a Dixie-cup-like material that’s disposable or even flushable. They would be about the same size as the reusable — yecch — one.
