I think there should be a picture of female urinals because I had no idea that they even existed let alone know what they look like. - Thai H. Nguyen 18:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a diagram of the "shewee" here. It seems to be plastic.

There's a link for p-mate here - this is a single-use disposable product, which was apparently marketed as the "she-pee", and sold at festivals including the Glastonbury festivalpeter_english (talk) 14:28, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a duplicate external link on the main article page. I would have removed it, but the page is not editable. Please would the moderators/administrators do so. Thank you. Oh, and yes, pictures of the devices would be very welcome on the page. In the meanwhile many of them, including disposables can be found on websites for equipment for disabled people. Sorry, I can't be bothered to be P.C. in phraseology. I'm disabled myself, so I guess that's my prerogative :)) . Thanks for all you guys' hard work.

There isn't one single picture of a female urination device. Instead, there's a picture of a female urinal. What's the point of this? Shadowcrow (talk) 07:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm going to remove the pic of the female urinal; it's just confusing there at the top of the article, and there are links to female urinal anyway. Shadowcrow (talk) 19:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking about ordering a pStyle due to all the positive reviews on amazon. I'll check the rules on uploading photos and get back to this later.

There is another female urination device. It's called Pibella (www.pibella.com). The anatomically adapted small orifice encloses the exit of the urethra in a direct, gentle and sealed manner. I have Pibella and it works perfect. It is made for standing, sitting and lying down. That's why, Pibella is also well-known in hospitals (and homecare). I use it wile standing and I can keep on my trousers (including underwear :-) Jasmin.Morris (talk) 09:44, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The iPee mentioned on this page and the content about it appears to have been input by the user TheiPee (Contributions), which is probably the creator of it, and seems to put a very positive spin/advertising on it. Are companies allowed to promote their own products in this way? Not2advanced (talk) 02:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This reference is poor by scholastic standards due to the author's professed commercial interest in the subject. --catseyes (talk) 01:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete the page! I just hope thipage i not deleted. It is fanastic! It seems to be all the Comments that are slwing down this page but DON'T! See Rhiann7. My user page. Thanks so much for your cooperation! --Rhiannon (talk) 23:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P mate is a very useful thing. During outdoor parties, where there are no places to urinate, simply take this tube-like-thing and go to a trash can, and urinate in it. Or you may do it on the ground. It is legal to do this, and does no harm to the ground. Now, females can go urinate on the ground! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.228.204.227 (talk) 02:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On urban dictionary fud is defined as female genitalia. I can find no other references to the acronym fud online. Is this really an appropriate abbreviation to make? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.169.175.133 (talk) 16:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a valid point. I have removed all references to "FUD" from the article, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style #Abbreviations. Reify-tech (talk) 20:00, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I am male, but a former girlfriend undertook the urination problem years ago, so I'm a little familiar.

IMO, there's not enough effort shown here to clearly differentiate between urinals (like the devices guys use) and STP funnels/troughs/nozzles and plastic bottles (like you get at Walgreens). As the intro makes clear, this article is apparently ONLY about STPs, with the other stuff loosely attached.

The Female urinals and History sections are entirely unaware that public restrooms in the 1950s sometimes had urinals meant for women or for both genders. In the late 1960s, my highschool still had those long "scoop" urinals in the boys' restrooms, which baffled us, apparently suggesting our "aim" was really terrible. Though unsourced, here's an article that sums it up: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/226/whats-the-deal-with-urinals-in-womens-restrooms

As that article notes, urinals are difficult enough for a woman to manage who's wearing a loose skirt and no undergarments -- even at that, she still must control all that cloth to keep it out of the bowl (and possibly the neighboring bowls). Now imagine the same "simple" maneuver except while wearing pantyhose, or slacks. Speaking as a guy, when I'm wearing tight jeans it's sometimes such a struggle to get... um... everything arranged at a urinal that I avoid it and go to a stall instead, where I can simply skin all that clothing down in two seconds. It certainly can't be easier for women.

And while the Manufacturers section lists 26 devices (most STP), the number of installed fixtures is... well, zero.

There's no indication that the Manufacturers list is at all comprehensive, or even current. Reference(s), please.

Yes, I agree it's not a great article, Weeb Dingle. I would be inclined to move everything related to actual urinals to the existing article on urinals whereas this article here should only contain information on those devices that a female holds in her hands which aids her to pee into a urinal or toilet while standing up. What do you think of this suggestion?EMsmile (talk) 23:43, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
