Has anybody tried this at burning man?

I use a nalgene bottle with the words written in black marker very clearly on the sides--DO NOT DRINK!

Depending on whether you have a hoo-ha or a cha-cha, this may not work for you. Based on your name, you may need to improvise more.

Cha-chas can be difficult to point into a bottle, however wide mouthed.

I have one like this but not as complicated. I'd recommend using it instead as you won't have anywhere to dispose of those bags on the playa.

I use this in my tent early morning hours when it's super cold, my bladder is full and I have NO interest in getting up and running a block to the porta-potty. Last year I shared my tent with a friend and we both used them and it worked fine, i.e. using it doesn't require privacy. The angle is so good that you don't have to get in an awkward pose or anything. I even used it in exodus behind the steering wheel at one point when someone fell asleep on the road outside Gerlach and scores of us just stood on the road for hours waiting for traffic to move again. (Engine was off!)

You will probably want some girly-friendly wipes (or 1 ply paper) handy too.

Here's a link to one place that sells them

Also, when I bought mine I bought extra "tops" in case we lost one. They snap on and keep it from spilling. We ended up not needing the extras, but Murphy's Law stipulates that if I hadn't bought the extras we would have lost one.

for the ladies:

i have been wanting to get one of these to use at various festivals... seems like it would also be handy for not having to sit or touch anything in the porta johns, and with it you can pee into any old soda bottle.

if anyone has tried one, would like to know how they work. supposedly the pee rolls right off them? then i guess you could give it a wipe down w anti-bac....

There's probably not any reviews because the sort of people (aka me) who would use something like that wouldn't spend the money for something as useless as that.

I have a "Freshette," and it is awesome. Peeing in my tent into a bottle, peeing without removing a bunch of costuming, peeing standing up in the rain...no bottles, nothing much to pack in and out.

How about a large coffee can w/lid (plastic Folgers 36oz etc)?

Would they be useful for the gal's?
I have a lot of them I could bring.

I'm a woman and love the freshette too. You can get them at REI either online or in their retail store.

Oh, believe me, I've conducted plenty of research on the topic.
Don't blame me if the color is a little off.
