“..Standing up like a man (What kind of a woman uses a funnel to go to the bathroom? I do, and it changed my life)..”
“.. A couple of years ago while clicking around the Web site of a well-known travel retailer, I discovered a miracle product that has changed my life and caused some to question my commitment to my gender: The Urinelle “urination funnel for women” — or, as I affectionately refer to them, “pee cones.”
..This brilliant invention, obviously thought up by a female genius who hates public toilets as much as I do, is basically a piece of surprisingly thin paper rolled up like an ice cream cone.
The cones lie flat until you are ready to use them; a mere squeeze opens them up to their full potential..”
(and..)
“..Then there are the WhizBiz and the GoGirl, both reusable silicone (pink, of course).
These seem promising at first glance, but 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.
If you lose it, you’re screwed, because it’s not like every two-bit drugstore the world over stocks these things near the register for impulse buys.
None of these issues plague the Urinelle, which allows one to simply cone and toss.
I became so enthralled with my discovery that I e-mailed the link to several female co-workers.
My colleagues were used to receiving all manner of strange e-mails from me, but this was different.
The responses came in two general categories: those who were scandalized by such a gender transgression, acting as if I were considering a sex change (”You’d actually use these? Freak.”) ..
.. and the practical gals who couldn’t believe something so simple could actually work. (”If they are just paper, won’t you piss all over yourself?”)
I am not a scientist.
I have absolutely no clue how a mere paper product can handle a full stream of lady pee and maintain its integrity, and I don’t care.
I would refer skeptics to paper towel commercials depicting a towel completely soaked, yet still able to hold various objects.
If we can put a man on the moon, we surely can allow women to pee standing up.
All I know is these babies work, and I love them.
They are the best thing to happen to vaginas since beltless pads..”
