Female Urinals

Wasn't me. Pompa. I don't know anything about this device and I plan to keep it that way.

Once upon a time, I thought I was pretty much in touch with the contemporary world but I seem to have become a vegetating old bat. I had never heard of these shepees – sorry but I think that was a nice Freudian slip, so I'll leave it – until I read this thread. I hadn't heard of those other things either until I encountered stuff on gransnet. I think they're called mooncups – who dreamed up that silly name – but at least I have the excuse that I'm well past the age where I need to bother my little old head about such things.

Hi, pompa. Yes, I know it wasn't you who was cringing about the shewee in the dishwasher. I didn't notice who it was but I did notice who it wasn't. Hmm

Baggy, Hello, My cringing had nothing to do with your shewee. I was relating it to the Viagra connection, had an image of me standing in front of the dishwasher, will leave the rest to your imagination.

You are right about urine being sterile. I had two major kidney operation's in my twenties. After one of them I had a drain from my kidney out of my side for several days. When it was removed (pulled out - ouch) I peed from the hole in my side (very odd) for a day or two until it healed, The nurse said it was not a problem as it was totally sterile until it became in contact with air.

Cringing about putting a shewee in the dishwasher. Oh, for goodness' sake! Hot water kills germs, don't you know, and in any case, urine is sterile when it leaves body. It's not going to attract more germs than your average used dinner plate.

Annobel - Your post "apparently it can go in the dishwasher! " made me cringe , until I realised it did not refer to the Viagra posts that just preceded it. ( I am not going to read back to find out exactly what it refers to.)

My partner says that the 'pills' that they gave him when he was doing his National Service are just beginning to work now........!

What did we do before gransnet? It always makes me laugh out loud and cheers me up. Thanks everyone Must go to the loo now!!

Hattie !!!!

apparently it can go in the dishwasher! ooh yuk! but have used one when volunteering for a conservation trust, took some practise and concentration to get the flow going!!!!

I daren't give my husband half a viagra, even thought he pees on his slipper, isn't viagra used to enable men to remember how to have sex with their partner. My old man is always rambling down memory lane, this would be the last straw.

pompa !!!!!

Pompa....I love you!!

he he he he he!!!!!

I am NOT going to comment on this thread other than to say that Mrs.P started giving me 1/2 a Viagra a day - I said I needed more than that - she said it was just to stop me peeing on my slippers !!!!

Why can't boys (and a lot of men too) aim properly? I've had to resort to a ping-pong ball in the toilet bowl to encourage them not to flood the floor

"at least we've got something to shake" - Yeah, and I bet we make a better job of it than they do!

I've got a 'Whiz', same thing but different make, reviews for it were better. I can't squat any more as I've had a hip replacement, and I had a horrendous experience on holiday with a 'hole in the floor' toilet. I won't go into details as I'm still traumatised, but at the start of this thread there was mention of wet trousers, I'll let you guess the rest! So I bought my Whiz after that and always take it with me on holiday or out walking. So far I haven't used it but I did practise in the shower as they suggested and I have to say I thought it was brilliant - if only I'd had it before, could have saved myself a lot of upset!! It's very light, comes in its' own little pink bag, and as someone previously said you just shake it and all the 'water' drops off (at last WE'VE got something to shake!!!). Anyway it has given me great peace of mind so it's worth it just for that and I'm sure I will use it at some stage. Give it a go Hattie, you won't regret it.

All family and friends I hope?

We were stuck for hours in a traffic jam and I was dying to go. Fortunately we were towing our caravan and so I jumped out of the car and into the van to use the loo there. When I came out there was a queue people waiting at the door!

If you put an old towel in a lidded plastic pot you can use it in a traffic jam without the contents going everywhere.Bothered about people watching ? Can be done very discretely and you are unlikely to see them ever again.

Oh God! Don't go there! I'm always trying to convince my family I am NOT fat, its just relaxed stomach muscles. I usually blame it on DS who arrived when I was 40.

Doesn't do a lot for your stomach muscles either.

Yep! Elegran

Jangly, I think having babies definitely skews your aim.
