There’s been much giggling and talk about the Go Girl. It’s a female urination device that allows women to pee standing up.
As you probably know, Go Girl was one of two major sponsors for the Room 704 Party. They paid for your drinks, the “Go Girl” as we named it, since it was pink like their product. We have not received any cash money from Go Girl (although we’d like to, heh), and this review is totally unbiased and not paid for. Enjoy.
My son was enthralled by the Go Girl from the minute he saw it. He thinks it’s like, the coolest thing EVAR. What *I* like about it is that there’s no more peepee on his underwear or pants when we have to use the women’s room or the great outdoors for his bathroom breaks. (Sucks rollin’ with Ma — no urinals! LOL)
As you can see, we’ve been using the Go Girl just for fun off the deck on our vacation. The kid loves using it, I love less mess, I call it a WIN-WIN.
Now just to be thorough, I tried it out myself. I pulled down my clothes past my knees, stood over the toilet, and then got ready to pee standing up. I placed the Go Girl to my body and made sure it was secure by holding the front and back of it in place with a thumb and finger.
Then I went.
Pee.
In the toilet.
While standing up.
It was kinda awesome.
I would definitely use the Go Girl in nasty bathrooms and for camping, marathon running, skiiing…Oh who am I kidding?? I’d likely just use it for nasty bathrooms and ‘uh oh gotta go’ roadside moments. The only problem I see with the Go Girl is remembering to bring it. I also could not fit it back in the canister (cuz I don’t know origami well enough?? I dunno.) but it does come with a handy dandy resealable bag that I’ve been putting it in.
Verdict: For $7 (free to me as I was one of the lucky ones to get one at our party) I would say it is well worth it. For the potty training pleasure ALONE. Never mind the penis envy!
