Peeing like a dude

[Boijoy]

With the Pstyle, I have zero drip issues. Whatever it's made of (some sort of silicone plastic?), the moisture falls right off.

With the SheWee, I don't remember having any drip issues. You might want to try out getting a tube, like the SheWee has. That will make it much easier to avoid getting anything on your clothes.

The SheWee cups around you, like the GoGirl. I was worried about overflowing/leaking with the Pstyle, but it has yet to happen (I practiced at home and took it to Transformus) and I like the slimmer, smaller shape of the Pstyle much more - looks like the GoGirl squishes, which the SheWee doesn't, if you keep it in it's tube.

I was talking about the drip from my .. umm.. who who.

Ah, ha ha! I believe the correct spelling is "hoo-ha."

Which leads me to another advantage of the Pstyle, you can wipe with it, just sort of scoop it away from you, and not have any cute little droplets (that's how girls pee, right? ).

Or, if you're used to camping and not having toilets at all, you just roll with it.

Panty liners are always an option.

My friend and I are determined to invent some sort of magical panties that stave off camp crotch. Some sort of absorbent, anti-microbal...something.

How about going commando and sitting with your legs open a lot? That's what all those utilikilts are doing right?

It's never been an issue for me...but I definitely think there's advantages to not being a slave to the whole "gotta wear underwear it's hygenic" nonsense.

Pstyle FTW.

100% true! I love mine with a fiery passion. They are also totally usable sitting down in the car if you don't want to stop and pee. Just saying...for those of you with long drives. Stop every 400 miles rather than every 100-200. Sooooo awesome.

I can see that - more discrete, too (as discrete as something this undiscrete could be), due to its size, and how it's used.

The porta pottie on the end of the row is usually a big urinal, c'mon in ladies. Just remember the rules, No Talking, No Eye contact and No Overtly Checking Out the Other Guy's Stuff.

I could knife a bitch for doing the hover. Ain't nothing more foul then coming into the potties @ work to find bright fucking yellow drops ALL over the place. Or coupled with red blots of blood. And even if you do hover HOW the fuck can you not just wipe the seat down???

oh jesus, I can be at this subject all night.. anyhoo I gots me a go-girl which will be awesome for the late night pissing!

[AntiM]

I could use the squat toilets in the Roppongi subway, and trust me, these were vile for Japan... drunk off my ass, in heels and panty hose, not a drip nor a drop, and not get any on my feet. I was a practiced drunk then. Superb muscle control.

I too despise the hoverers. I caught one; as she was leaving the porto, I went in, saw the fresh drops, flung the door open and YELLED at her at the top of my lungs. She was shamed before the entire morning line. She waited for me the next day and tried to tell me I wasn't in the Burning Man spirit. She got another ass chewing, two actually, one for peeing on the seat, and one for presuming to tell a jaded old timer what the fuck the Burning Man spirit was.

I take my potty seats seriously.

A drip or two always gets by. I hate it when one lands on my calf. When you get older, the landscape shifts, does a little shape-changing and it gets more and more interesting.

Not a fan of panty liners, but do like my cotton underwear. I'm old and fat enough now that the nooks and crannies fill up with sweat and dust. Not so much fun. (Now, now, M, they'll take you seriously) ((They should )).

One of the first camps my fellow n00b femme burner and I will try to find is the pee funnel camp. I really can't wait to try it out!

[Elorrum]

I don't know. My activities in this area are woefully backward I guess. I walk to the portapotties, day or night. I look for a green handle, check for paper, wipe the seat, sit down, pee/poop, check seat, wipe if necessary, put down lid. Much of what I prepare for at Burning Man is so similar to regular life. (no offense intended to those who gear up... do whatever works for you.) I drive by myself, so I can stop whenever I need to. If you are new and this whole line of "preparation" is a little intimidating, ... just saying.

I guess it's like sleeping at night: I don't have the whole issue of how to shade my tent either.

Ahhh well, where I was in Korea and Japan it was referred to as western.

When I was also in Korea and Japan (Okinawa) we called em Benjo ditches, and one was careful not to step, or fall into one. Though I did get a rental car tire stuck in one once

[retropsycho]

GF and her daughter went to Pee Funnel Camp and was disappointed to discover that it was just a plastic cup (too round!) with a tube. Thanks, but no thanks.

So I bought her a Shenis: http://www.shenis.com/about.html

Are you my father?

And then there's benjo spiders. Buwahahahaaaa.

Hullo folks - I'm Zoe, the person behind Pee Funnel Camp.

No - my model is not perfect. It's designed specifically for Burning Man (large receptacle so no matter how dark it is or how trashed you are you'll still hit the mark). It's designed so that making 7500 (that is almost 1/2 the women at BM!) of them doesn't break my wallet or my wrists. It's not designed for portability. As the above poster said - its mainly meant for pissing in a bottle or jug at camp - and you can use it standing or squatting. It's meant to keep with the BM ethics - why pay for an outside product when you can get a burner-made one for free?

That said - I've tried *all* of the pro models and my favorite is the Freshette, by sani-fem. Last year I used it to pee in a bottle in a crowd while waiting for the burn... and no one noticed.

I hope I see y'all at Pee Funnel Camp (Athens + 3:13). We also have a 2nd freestanding pee funnel dispenser (big yellow box) on the 9:00 promenade near the
esplanade.

And mad props to RobbiDobbs - she is way underappreciated and without her we would have long ago lost the potty cleanup contracts... effectively shutting the event down. If you really wanna do the city some good: volunteer with her. She has a lot of trouble finding people to help.

The Freshette is also the one I have, that has now taken second place to the Pstyle. Pstyle takes up less room, and less fiddling with it time.

E - I'm the same way (use a portajohn as any other toilet), I don't always use a pee funnel. But when it means not having to undo all my costumery, or it's raining, or I have to be sneaky...it's great.
