Answering The Call: The Shewee

Answering the call of nature on the road can be a tricky business, particularly for women. The Shewee aims to simplify the process.

Female travelers find it a lot more difficult and uncomfortable to find an adequate spot for a bathroom break in the wilderness. The ease with which men can choose their spot is sometimes a source of envy among women searching in vain for a bathroom.

The makers of the Shewee envision a world in which both sexes can attend to the call of nature with equal ease. By inventing a small plastic siphon which directs the fluid away from the body, the manufacturers allow women to attend to their basic needs while standing up, just as men do.

As well as the original Shewee, which sells for $9.69, the company also makes a Shewee Extreme ($17.75), which features an extension pipe for when the original is not long enough. In addition to the devices themselves, Shewee also offers a small range of specially-adapted clothing which makes using the product a lot easier.

Make sure you are wearing a pair of T-front or X-front underwear on your camping trip to maximize the capabilities of the Shewee. If you find yourself stuck on a long car journey, or anywhere else where a toilet is not available, use one of the company’s Peebol portable toilets for safe and secure disposal.

The idea may seem strange at first, but the Shewee is sure to be useful at festivals, on camping trips or long car rides.
