Women – It’s Time to Pee Like Men

Devices to help women pee like men – that means standing up, not all over the seat – have been around for several years now. We wrote about the P-mate back in 2005, and there have been several iterations and variations since. Salon writer Michelle Rabil however recently hit upon what could be a key technological development for the genre:

See, the general idea is to equip women with cone/funnel-like device, which can be peed into and used to direct the stream of urine wherever it needs to go, all from a comfortable standing position. But the non-disposable ones, well, like Michelle says:

I don’t want a long-term relationship with a urination device. If you’re not near water, you’re stuck carrying around a urine-soaked object.

Amen to that, and enter the Urinelle.

At about $1/use they aren’t exactly cheap, but for travelling, super-gross toilets and general emergencies it may be well worth the money. Take for instance Michelle’s experience on an airplane:
