SheWee

Promise

It’s a traditional irritant between the sexes: men, caught short, can make an easy job of relieving themselves. With one hand and a turned back, the process is unobtrusive and fast. For women, it’s a different story, isn’t it? Not if SheWee catches on. A portable female urinal, SheWee promises to revolutionise widdling on the move for womenkind by letting them do it standing up, with their trousers still on.

Performance

The gear is simple, and so is the technique. Take the funnel, put it firmly between your thighs and pee. The urine travels safely away from your body, legs and shoes, down a funnel – whose length many men will envy. When you’re done, give it a wipe and pack it back into its travel case. A liquid-repellent coating in the SheWee will ensure there’s no drips. Manufacturers say it can withstand temperatures of up to 120C, so in theory you can stick it in the dishwasher. What your housemates might say about it is another thing. And God forbid if someone tries icing a cake with it when it comes out of the hot cycle.

Verdict

A truly great idea – if you can get over the unnatural feeling and get in the habit of proper placement, it’s a brilliant solution for discreet tinkling in the great outdoors.
