It looks as though women have the opportunity to share one of men’s perks: peeing standing up.
A female urination device—essentially a funnel that’s disposable—makes it possible for women to urinate standing up.
Gotta go: If you’re a woman, don’t let nature prevent you from having the luxury of peeing while standing up. The Uri-mate allows that option in the form of a funnel.
The first one was patented back in 1918—but Alfredo Romero, Uri-mate inventor and company owner, believes he has sparked the latest trend in female urination devices.
“I am the pioneer, because after my starting, you could see four or five similar products come up in the world market,” Romero says.
Romero started the production of the Uri-mate in Miami in 2001, thinking that women should enjoy the ease that men do when using the restroom. The Uri-mate is ideal for long plane flights, camping, hiking, long nights of drinking or music festivals.
The Uri-mate is offered in packs of three. Five packs cost $9.95 and 25 packs cost $49.75—to order, visit www.uri-mate.com. A single pack for $3.95 can also be ordered on www.amazon.com.

Why would you need one on a plane flight? They have restrooms same as houses where you have parties. Music festivals have portipotties or whatever they are called. Now camping and hiking, maybe, but, when you can squat for free? Exercise those thigh muscles girls, well before you head for the woods.
