About Shewee
28-year-old entrepreneur and inventor Samantha Fountain developed her idea initially as part of her degree at university, the idea having come to her while backpacking around Europe. Sam hopes Shewee will become as indispensable as the penknife or first aid kit for women on the go. ‘It struck me how much easier it was for a guy to go to the toilet in a place where there were no facilities or nowhere to squat behind’, explains Sam, ‘so I came up with a way of effectively urinating like a man. Men could just stroll up and be on their way in a few seconds, while women were having to take off backpacks and clothing and then attempting to find somewhere to squat, all the time worrying about touching things for fear of germs, keeping their dignity and keeping warm. Shewee does away with all of this fuss - there really is no end to situations where Shewee would be handy’.

I understand this is technically a practical product, but I can only imagine some drunk crusty explaining to the cops why she just peed on the side of the counter.
Crusty: "Because offisker, the bitch cut me off and nobody can talk to me that way! I'm the cuffsomer and I's alwash right!"
Officer: "Ma'am, you're in a grocery store. They don't serve alcohol here."
Crusty: "An' thass why I peed! If I say 'gimme a JD,' you damn well giff it to me!"

they sell something very much like this over here in the UK for girls going to festivals - Its called the peemate i think!

My girlfriend had the best response ever to the "penis envy" line. She and her ex were in bed and having an argument and he said something about penis envy. She looked at his "equipment" and snorted contemptuously, "Penis envy? Of *that*?"

We sell something similar to this in Canada. I can't remember what its called though. We are an outdoor/camping store, so it makes sense! Backpackers love them.

Yeah, it's nothing new. My store (outdoor/camping store in the US) sells them--the Freshette, I think. Wildly popular for backpackers, and I've heard that some military women use it as well.

It's a cool idea and one that I've seen before. Just kind of wondering why we need the picture of one in use. Not that seeing people peeing is new for anyone that surfs the web. It's just kind of awkward.

There's been so many versions of this. There was "Johnny On The Spot" which had a small tube. There's "Go Girl" which is a big pink cone. I have yet to figure out how to use it without taking your pants fully down.
Heck, one woman even designed a urinal just for women.
The idea is to keep women from having to squat or use a dirty toilet.

Wish we could go back and edit. Meant to add "Not penis envy."
I mean, I get the joke, but really, it can be hard on us ladies when we have to go and there's no clean, private toilet handy.

I imagine this might be useful if you're into backpacking.

We have that in Germany, too. It´s called Urinella.
And the best part- it´s made out of paper, so you pee through it and chuck it in the woods where it will rot within a few weeks. No disgusting rinsing-out-your-pee with your bottle of drinking water :)

One of my friends had one in college for when she and her then-boyfriend, now-husband would go hiking. It was called a Lady J, I believe. And that was about 15 years ago.

Hasn't this thing been invented about a billion times over now?
