SHEWEE Extreme Female Urinal – UK Made – Reusable & Portable Urination Device. Festival, Camping, Car, Hiking Essentials for Women. Stand to Pee Device W/Carry Case and Extension Pipe

I love this. I can now do what I have always dreamed of, thats right pee standing up. This device is just all sorts of awesome. Firstly, it is in one of my favourite colours, purple, which is a bonus. So first box ticked there. The device is able to be dismantled and stored in a non conspicuous container, that to me could be mistaken for a glasses case or something similar, so discretion is assured here. Second box ticked. The device is so easy to assemble and dissemble. The device comes with clear (and somewhat funny) instructions on how to do this, but you really dont need them. When this is in your hands you just know what to do with it. No reading necessary. Use! Now I will try and be as discreet here as I can. The instructions are clear and helpful, But I would strongly suggest that on your first use you stand in a shower, with a bucket and practise posture and aiming. It is not as easy as it looks especially on the first try, there is a knack to it, but once you figure out the perfect pose and angle to use, its like riding a bike, you never forget and that is it. Mission accomplished. The device fits snugly and works, the only thing I don't like is the area which forms to a tip, that would sit just by the back door. Due to this being plastic and very rigid it can feel uncomfortable against your person, as you slide it away from you for removal. I have poked myself with it (don't laugh) and it did hurt, so just be mindful of that. You are supposed to flick the device dry. But residue does remain. If I can and have access to a sink I run water through it, shake, then stick it under a hand dryer for about 30 seconds, then pop it back to the container. If i cannot access a sink, say if I'm outdoors I suggest a lot of shaking then putting it back in the container with some tissues or wipes handy to clean device and hands before putting it away. Love being able to stand up and discreetly pee without having to crouch, loose balance or at worst wet feet, I have not looked back and use this device quite often (gigs, rambling, camping etc) I would highly recommend.

There is nothing worse than hiking and busting for a pee. I am not one of those people that can pee al fresco and find the whole bare-arse-in-the-wind-watching-for-passersby to be less than conducive to relieving oneself. For years I have held on until my bladder were at bursting point and then had to endure the mad dance that accompanies looking at a clean ceramic white bowl but being unable to undo ones trousers fast enough. Then I heard about the shewee. First impression - a little weird. Then I figured that the advantages would outweigh the weirdness of it and there is nothing better than no longer needing the loo. I did anticipate a little difficulty in getting the right technique but practice makes perfect so I gave it a go. When it arrived I was a little surprised at how big it is; it is certainly not something that you can slip discreetly into your pocket...but at least it's green and not shocking 'hey everyone, look over here' pink. It's a simple two-piece bit of equipment - the 'container' and the extension tube (without the tube I imagine that it would be problematic to avoid your feet and trousers). It says on the box to practice in the shower but I find the whole idea of that a bit gross so I decided to just 'pee into the wind' and go for it. I'll admit that I was a little anxious but then the worst that could happen was I would have to change my clothes. It is so weird to spend years controlling your bladder and then to try and let go and pee whilst fully dressed and still standing was something to get over. I found that I would be close to peeing but then would hold back. I persevered, told myself that it was alright and to not rush it. After about three minutes, I did it! Yes, I did get my hand a wee bit (Ha!) but it wasn't a calamity. For the rest of the day, everytime that I needed to pee, I would use the shewee until - finally - I had it down to a par and had no mishaps whatsoever and found it much easier to relax. Thanks to this little bit of kit, I know that I can pee wherever I like when out walking. I will still have to keep a look-out for passerby's but it will be much easier to maintain my modesty and avoid any embarrassment now that I don't need to bare my arse. I fully recommend this product.

Bought this a little while ago for a festival, found that with a bit of practice beforehand it worked really well. I found it easiest to use whilst wearing a skirt as you didn't have to worry about anything being visible while you go - in tight jeans or shorts it would be a bit tricky to get into place without removing them first!. Saved me loads of time not having to que for the loos and could just use the urinals, so would definitely recommend! I found the extra tube was helpful at least for festival urinals, as it meant you didn't have to stand so close (they were a bit high up for me otherwise). However, knocked a star off for the box. The shewee itself was excellent, but this version is sold as having a 'specially designed box'. The box is massive, and you couldn't really carry it around unless you had a big bag with you all the time. I ended up putting it in a resealable plastic bag instead as it fit in a small hip/bumbag then. The box could be a lot smaller if it was actually made to fit the shewee and tube specifically, it's far larger than necessary! So, I wouldn't bother buying one with the box, other than just to store it in at home. I guess if you were keeping it in the car or something rather than carrying it with you, the box would be ok, but not very convenient if you want to be portable!

Why did you choose this product over others?: I brought this to help after I had mummy makeover surgery. This was one of my best buys. Saved me having to get up / down off toilet for first few days which helped my recovery. I also used it in an emergency when out and about. Highly reccomend. No mess, easy to clean and great little travel case.

It is really narrow so I don't feel absolutely confident that I won't wee all over my hands. They do recommend that you practice using it in the shower and I totally agree with that. Positioning is really important with this but overall a good product.

Quite simply the most genius invention of the age. To go from a mere five stars to a million, it would require an adaptation so that it can be used in a public place, such as on a coach, but it will be a while yet before the inventor can add an invisibility cloak. Until then, you will require privacy, either hedge or a room you can be in alone. The great thing is, the room does not need plumbing! I have used it regularly in two places, a cheap hotel I have to stay in several times a year, and on Indian trains. If you are travelling and staying in a place where the only loo is along a dark passage and you do not want to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, your problems are now over. With the addition of a bottle to hold the contents you will express via this device, you can get out of bed, use it, and return snugly to bed, and dispose of the bottle's contents the next morning. On an Indian train, travelling in first class a/c, there was always a queue for the one sit-down Western toilet at one end of the carriage. I strode confidently into the unused Indian hole in the ground one at the other end of the carriage, and used my wonderful pink plastic device, while serenely watching the countryside through the window from my comfortable standing position. Not a single drop dribbled down my legs on onto my clothes. Hint to travellers in exotic lands, it is easier with a skirt to hitch up than with trousers round your ankles. And my advice is strongly to buy the full kit, the extension tube makes it much easier to aim or fit into the neck of a bottle, and the case looks so much like the sort of thing a lady would carry her tampons in that no-one will embarrass you by asking what you have in your hand if you are seen taking it out of your bag. The revelation, which other women have noted, comes when you practise at home, standing up in front of the toilet. The feeling of power and mastery which flows through every atom of one's being explains why men have dominated women for thousands of years. Only at that moment do you understand that as women we adopt the subservient sitting position several times a day all our life. This must have had terrible effects on our psyche. Stand and feel the power of equality with our male masters, the yearning for which must have impelled the suffragettes to throw bricks through windows.

Bought this after I got caught short on a day out. It arrived today so I decided to impress my friend who is staying with me for a few days. I drank loads of water and invited her to come into the garden and watch me pee standing up and yes, I was sober. I just unzipped my trousers and discreetly inserted the Shwee. It felt like it was in position so I released the pee. She watched silently as some pee came out of the funnel but the rest went down the insides of both legs soaking my jeans, knickers, socks and crocs. I was flippin well dismayed as I stripped off in the garden, wrung out my socks, dumped my sodden clothes on the doorstep and crawled spraggle legged upstairs to wash myself while my friend slid down the door edge laughing whilst informing my beloved, who was sitting on the sofa, what had happened. I crawled up the stairs with their honking laughter in my ears. I hadn't read the instructions had I? I thought I knew where my own "bits" were but obviously not. So according the the reviews I have since read, there is an art to it. I shall practise in future on my own in the shower as suggested. Take note those who think they will know how to use it without practise. Don't try and impress your friends as I did only to see them double up with laughter then sit on your sofa for the next hour dabbing at their eyes and sniggering. Avoid the humiliation of seeing your partner almost vomit with laughter. I got it all so wrong so I do hope to do another review after a few more goes. Maybe I tilted it backwards, didn't get it at the right angle, I don't know. Just be aware ladies. 25th June now so time has passed and I have practised and have got it now. As someone said in their review, the pointy end of the Shewee has to be up against the perineum, I had it too far forward. You need to press lightly against your body to form a seal and out it comes without the drenching I had on my first go. When my friend next comes to visit in July I can now put on my smug mug and demonstrate my standing up prowess. No longer will I have to put up with cackling laughter and derision. I feel empowered.

SHEWEE Extreme - Multiple Colours Available (Lilac) Bought this as I was going away on holiday and one my GP had ordered on prescription for me 10 weeks earlier had still not materialised. As it happened, circumstances (namely weather which kept me indoors for more time than planned) meant I didn't need to use it. Typically, the prescription one arrived just a few days after I got home again. Looking at the two, they differ quite significantly in shape and I have to say that the prescription one looks more anatomically suitable in that it's wider and made of soft plastic. I'd be nervous about using the narrower, hard plastic Shewee Extreme in a sitting position (and I sit a lot as I use a wheelchair) as I'd worry about leaks. I had thought to try them both out to compare but I'm thinking of passing the Extreme onto my daughter who does a lot of outdoor activities. I like the case this comes in; the prescription one does not come with a case and it's too big to fit in this one but a soft toilet/make-up bag should do the job. I thought the prescription one might be an awful colour but in fact it's not bad, it's a dark lavender shade so not too far off the lilac Extreme I ordered. Overall, if you can get on with these things, they're undoubtedly useful little gizmos but, if you're disabled and/or don't pay for prescriptions, I think the softer, wider ones on prescription are probably a better bet. Looking at the two, I don't fancy my chances with the Extreme, but perhaps I'm being a bit unfair not actually having put it to the test. Both come with an extension pipe incidentally which I'd say was essential.
