I'm all about convenience, but...

This seems like a bit much. At first I thought it was a joke.. but nope. Totally serious. I don't even know anyone who would be willing to try this thing out.

Also, the whole "public bathrooms are nasty" angle they're going with for selling this thing makes me give them a huge side eye. If you're that worried about toilet germs why not just use the seat covers provided? Am I just lazy, or is this wierd to anyone else?

Re: I'm all about convenience, but...

  • I know people who have had them for camping etc. It makes sense for that.

  • Like I'd love to walk away from the tailgates with a pink plastic funnel and be all "You GO girl!"

    But for camping it seems handy.

    I'd probably still pee all over myself though.

  • I can see how it would be convenient in some situations, but I'd have a hard time deciding what to do afterward. I mean, I wouldn't really want to tote around a used pee funnel, but I also wouldn't want to throw away 13 dollars after one use!

  • It does seem handy for when there are no bathrooms around.  I know I have had a few awkward moments trying to pee in the woods when camping or hiking.

    Very good point!  I didn't think of that.

  • Wouldn't putting it into place be a little awkward?

    I think I will pass. After 4 years in college I successfully mastered the art of "hovering" over the toilet in heels while intoxicated thanks to many bar and fraternity party nights. I have pee-hover legs of steel.

  • I can see the convenience of it, but like a PP said (sorry can't remember who) I wouldn't want to just be carrying it around with me afterward. I mean I guess you can wash it out or something, but I think I would rather just take my chances peeing in the woods.

  • Haha! There is a TV show for entrepreneurs called 'Dragons Den' in Canada, and they had something similar to this on there last year. Lance and I couldn't stop giggling the whole time we watched it. Practical in some instances, and I totally understand why it would be useful, but not for me.

  • I don't know. I've done a lot of backwoods camping with no bathrooms and have mastered the squat to pee.  I don't see the need, and agree that it would be disgusting to haul around and I think quite awkward to actually use.  

    You would still probably have to pull your pants down, which is the main sucky thing about peeing while camping because your tush gets cold!
