Oh my goodness, I am about to bring women everywhere a valuable public service announcement. If you’ve ever wished you could pee standing up, here is your cure for penis envy.
It’s the Shewee, the hilarious yet oh-so-practical female urination device for the athlete on the go! You pull aside your underwear, place the Shewee securely to your body, aim away from your feet, complete your business, shake dry and place the Shewee back in its case or a resealable bag. Here’s the illustration from the company in case you’re having trouble picturing it:
Right off the bat I can see at least three uses for this for female athletes:
1. To avoid having to sit on the nasty seat at the race porta potties.
2. To pee discreetly while on the race course without having to wet oneself or wait in line at an all-too-rare porta potty on the course.
3. To finally be able to write your name in the snow.
Why had I never heard of this before?! Apparently this is only one of several brands of such devices on the market. Another reusable brand folds up compactly, and there are disposable, cardboard versions, too.
So ladies, let’s get down to business. Would you use the Shewee? Have you tried it or something like it? Have you ever squatted in the bushes at a race? Have you ever wet yourself (on purpose) while running, just to save valuable race time?

I would definitely use this! And not just for running. When I’m hiking, I can avoid going too far off the trail, and while at a festival, I can avoid the hour long wait at a bathroom. This would be perfect!

I agree, it would be great when you’re out in nature. No having to worry about mooning anyone!

During races I usually just pee when and where I can (usually on myself). I’m in a hurry and usually I can’t go for awhile and that switches to MUST GO now on or after the bike, so I go when I can! I’d use this for traveling for sure!
