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.

Back around 1970, in my days as a janitor, while attending college, the worst, most disgusting, horrible punishment duty was to be assigned to clean the junior high girls room.
The boys were more destructive, but the girls were, let's just say, "creative". It was totally unbelievable what they would use to do the things they did.
I highly doubt it has gotten any better.
A few years ago, I met a mother and teen daughter discussing whether to use a ladies room, or go to the mens instead, at a Wyoming gas station/mini-mart. I had just used the (filthy) mens room. I said to let me take a peek; and when I did, I told them to never mind; the mens was worse. The daughter said she could hold it if her mother could, so they left.
Perhaps the flexible medical grade silicone would make it so it wasn’t “cost effective”.
Gotta’ have that A1 grade flexible medical grade silicone ya’ know or else things might get a little messy! LOL!!!
I have hung out with country girls, but if they could, they were much too much country ladies to ever let me know.
I have seen them in camping & outdoor stores. They look sort of like a hybrid between a taco and a funnel.
Yeah, I suspect jr high kids can be awful, altho I don’t recall the bathrooms being bad when I was that age.
It doesn’t need one...
It's a cultural thing; what they were raised with.
They just can't figure out why is is so blastedly high off the floor!
I’m sorry, you must have missed out on a lot of things growing up. But then we all grew up SOUTH of the Mason Dixon Line.
At 24, I made the mistake of marrying a female who didn’t NEED one of these! Five years later, she filed for divorce. It was the kindest thing she ever did for me.
ABSOUTELY!!! NO Questions about that BIG SECRET!!
I want one of these girl tinkletoriums so that I can wee-wee all over one of those Obama urinal cakes that you lucky-duck guys get to have in your bathrooms.
Korean toilet!
Be sure to save some ammo for the Jane Fonda cakes.
The gadget is called P-Mate. It is an anatomically shaped disposable paper funnel, that slips inside a fly or under shorts.
I remember laughing at one of their ads, "Ladies, why let the men have all the fun? Now you, too, can...," in a boating magazine several years ago. They seem to still be available.
Good Heavens! I even got the “packs of five” right. I had no idea. :-D
These are not a new product. Since maybe the late 70s I have seen a similar product in some camping and boating supply catalogs. Google: Sani Fem
That’s a pretty good description....
