Peeing standing up is still taboo for many people, but this practice has become necessary for women for hygiene reasons.
What woman wouldn’t want to pee standing up? Surely, you have already had to squat, or contort yourself, to avoid sitting on a toilet. Whether at a party, at carnival or on a long trip, a clean bathroom is a rarity in the world we live in. Between us, it would be wonderful to have the gift of peeing standing up.
In general, this way of urinating is easy for men, whereas it is practically impossible for women. This is because urine runs down the legs, which would not be comfortable or much less hygienic. Therefore, a urinary conductor was created for women, as they can direct pee into the toilet without having to sit down.
This way, we will learn a little more about this product, since we are not always at home when the urge to pee hits. Furthermore, this idea can make a difference in women’s routine, making life in the woods or any dirty bathroom easier.
Can women pee standing up?
First of all, women can do whatever they want or feel like. From this, we can say that the creation of mechanisms that make anyone’s routine easier is very welcome. This is the case!
That said, the urinary conductor was launched by the Brazilian company Fleurity, in 2018, and the material is reusable, similar to a funnel and the material is made of medical silicone.
The objective is to help women, who sometimes need to pee standing up, as public bathrooms are very dirty. Even more so, when we are camping, sometimes it is necessary to urinate in the bushes.
In the meantime, other products appeared with the same function, but with different materials. Among them, the disposable paper funnel, where the person prints on 75g bond, but in this case, you need to remember to do this before leaving home.
Advantages of peeing standing up
Hygienic
Being reusable, you need to wash the funnel after peeing standing up. However, there is practically no access to the sink in public bathrooms, so the suggestion is to use wet wipes to clean the product. This way, you can store the conductor in your bag and later wash it at home.
Versatile
The material is hypoallergenic and malleable. The first few times you use it there may be discomfort, but you soon get used to it. Even so, the funnel does not hurt the body or your private part. Therefore, peeing standing up is a matter to learn.
Breaks down taboos
In short, peeing standing up for women is a survival practice. This is because sitting on the toilet all pissed, dirty with feces and full of bacteria is not ideal. The urinary conductor helps in this mission of not touching filthy surfaces, as holding in pee is not healthy.
Finally, women’s practice of peeing standing up does not mean that they want to be men or are taking the place of masculinity. It’s a matter of personal hygiene and practicality!
In fact, some pregnant women report using the urinary tract during pregnancy, due to the difficulties caused by the size of their belly. In addition to being comfortable, the urinary conductor is practical and hygienic.
