Janet Mullany sent me a fascinating link to the the Shenis, and I have to ask: why is it 12” long, and WHY is it GOLD? A goldmember purely to assist women with peeing? I could do without the uber-permed ladies demonstrating the Shenis’ powers of pee projection, but the unit does have its uses.
On vacation with Hubby a few years ago, we drove from San Francisco to LA & Palm Springs, and of course we stopped at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. We weren’t there to eat, sleep, shop, party or visit – we were there to pee.
Imagine my disappointment when the ladies’ room was boring boring boring, while Hubby got to pee in a freaking waterfall. NO FAIR. NO FAIR.
The worst was that we’d visited the Good Vibrations store in San Francisco a few days prior, and I’d seriously thought about buying a soft pack. I don’t have any predilection for gender switching personally, but it looked from the sample that I could potentially pee through the soft pack. I couldn’t verify that possibility, but hey, we were on a road trip, and being able to pee on the side of the road without worrying about the anatomical difficulties of having to do so as a girl was quite a temptation. But alas, I didn’t buy it. And if I HAD, I could have peed in a waterfall.
But now that I think about it, we might need to do the road trip again, and stop at the Madonna Inn again, because a giant 12” gold pee-wand would totally fit in with the uber-kitsch of the Inn’s decor, don’t you think? Or was this whole entry WAY too much TMI for you this morning? What can I say – I’m profoundly sleep deprived. I’m lucky I’m still typing in English.
ye gods. i can’t even imagine whipping that thing out on the side of the road.
My stitch & bitch group meets at a sex-toy store; I’ll ask the owners if there indeed are any soft-packs that allow a gal to pee standing up. But I won’t be there until Sunday morning, so you’ll have to be patient. 😉
Ha! My spamblocker is person27, as in, “Every person should be able to pee standing up!”
“‘scuse me while I whip this out”
If anyone wants a less, um, biological looking device, you want to visit

Their device is a nice Smart Bitch pink!
LMAO Lisabea!
Ummm…wow. 12 inches and gold. That’s interesting.
I’ve never wanted to pee standing up but I have to admit it be kinda awesome to pee in a waterfall.
LMAO! Did you guys rig the spamblocker? Mine says large59
Thanks to the internet, any woman can learn to pee standing up—no extra devices needed…

the more squeamish folks can try this handy dandy environmentally friendly device…

Now see, these are the kinds of entries that keep us coming back time after time…
There are actually plenty of devices like that (some that are more on the functional side, some that look more like penises) for transguys, who want/need to be able to pee standing up.
The shenis, however, just frightens me.
Oh, and the softpack wouldn’t let you pee—it’s just for show (I use one when I’m being a drag king). You’d need something like this: http://www.mangoproducts.net/PackAndPee.htm
(dude, my verification word is “great69”. NIIIIICE)
The last time I was at the Madonna Inn, the ladies was out of order, so we got to see the famous ‘peeing’ wall. Mostly it just stinks. But the place is Smart Bitch pink.
Yet another device to let women pee standing up is the SheWee: http://www.shewee.com/
I had no idea there was such a large market for such devices!
I spend so much time camping and hiking that I taught myself to pee standing up in college. It just takes a lot of practice—the best place is in the shower. Surprisingly, perhaps even ironically, I find it’s easier to do in a skirt or dress than pants.
Also a handy skill if you, like me, live in fear of public restrooms and their nasty nasty germs. No more hovering awkwardly over the toilet!
It makes a great ice breaker: “Hi I’m Laurel, and I pee standing up.”
EWWWWWW! Does it make me seem like a nerd that my first thought was “How hygenic can that thing possibly be?” I mean, you would have to carry around water and soap to “flush” the thing out after each use and before you stored it in your purse or whatever. Yuck! I’ll just squat, thank you.
I learned to pee standing up when I was in Girl Scouts. It’s easy if you’re wearing a skirt and no underwear. And if you don’t have any toilet paper, you can always “do the hop”, which is roughly analogous to a guy shakin’ his thang.
