by Freshette

Most awkward review ever but wanted to be honest and provide as much info as possible. We were planning a back country camping trip in the desert and I knew I needed a better solution since there would be NO privacy. Amazon did not deliver this in time so I had to pick one up from REI but I’m so glad I did. First, the main points: PROS: - Hard plastic makes it easy to hold and easy to use under shorts or with a zipper - Compact - I could literally pee almost anywhere! So much better than looking for a spot and worrying about getting pee on my clothes - Not hard to use like I imagined (didn’t get to practice at home first, but survived with no issues) - Very easy to rinse out and clean - Worth saying again, complete freedom! CONS: - Trying to tell my body it was ok to pee while standing took a little getting used to - Have to work and getting the process down. Learning how to juggle the thing, water to rinse, etc took some trial and error - The plastic storage bag doesn’t seem like it will last and I’ll need a different solution My first attempt at using this was in the dark while camping. Was able to figure it out easily enough, make sure the tube in inserted the correct way so you don’t have to worry about it coming out and you’re good to go. Trying to get my body to pee while standing was probably the hardest part, lol. It was easy to hold and the hose was long enough that I had no fear about getting anything on my clothes. I did find you needed to tilt forward at the end to make sure everything drained out. Once done is where I struggled more. Trying to keep in one hand not touching anything, wipe (it’s hard to undo years of training in the first attempt), zip up my shorts with the other hand, rinse it off, etc. After a few uses it got easier and I found a rhythm. I also found that having a little bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket was great! I would highly recommend getting the hang of it first, and then taking it everywhere! Camping, fishing, road trips, public bathrooms, traveling, the uses are endless. Was so easy, no more squatting and trying to avoid things. Well worth all the jokes and laughs we had about on it the trip and don’t know how I’ll ever camp again without one!

Fue una prueba de funcionamiento. Pero no funcionó para lo que suponía serviría (es mas para mujer que para hombre) Si lo recomedaria

I bought this when it arrived the hose was folded for shipment was fused together I shoved a spoon handle in the tube to open it (that worked) once I got the hang of it I ended up cutting down the tube it was quite long but works great also for transgender men looking for a quick solution for urnal visits it actually works much better then the typical stand to pee phallic shaped devices just wish the hose was thicker but quite happy with the product I wear it when I go out anywhere it is hard plastic but if you position it right it didn't bother you while wearing it all day

I have used this product now for travel and out in public restrooms for 10 years! Love it. Allows you to pee anywhere standing up. It is the best product of all similar products out there. Yes a bit expensive but you will have it forever in your purse. I bought more as presents to all my girlfriends!

I first bought the pStyle before an operation that would make sitting difficult for a few weeks. I figured it would also come in handy for extended outdoor activities. Obviously, I wasn't satisfied with the pStyle, thus I purchused the Freshette, which has printed on the box - 'new improved model'. Here is why: The pStyle is a bit narrow, which makes it hard to place and easy to leak. This has more to do with your anatomy than your overall size, though they can be related. I found that there was one, and only one position in which the pStyle would not leak. The pStyle worked best if I leaned forward a bit. This wasn't the easiest after the operation. The pStyle spout sticks straight out, which creates splashback. I could never go full-force, and this is quite a design flaw, given I wouldn't win any velocity or volume awards. And the pStyle felt as if the edges were sharp - it just didn't feel comfortable. I practiced with the pStyle before I had to use it, and I would still have leaks. In sum, it never worked for me. I didn't like it. It wasn't comfortable. And I wouldn't recommend it. I would never trust it while wearing clothes. And I really wanted to use it while traveling and while outdoors. So, I bought the Freshette. I decided to throw caution to the wind and tried it while fully clothed, though I was at home. I had no troubles at all. No leaks. It was comfortable. There was no guesswork, as there was with the pStyle (do I have it place correctly?). I went full-force. The spout is aimed outward and downward, so there was no splashback. The Freshette was everything I needed and had wanted when I, unfortunately, purchased the pStyle. I've used the Freshette several times already. I've had absolutely no troubles. I don't have to think about it. It seems to have a natural fit/feel. Just place it and go. When I ordered it, I was afraid it would be a bit large. It is surprsingly small. The contour is different, but I would say that it takes up less space than the pStyle even though it is a bit wider, because the spout pushes into the cup for storage. I haven't had any issue with urine remaining in the Freshette (just give gravity a second and a quick shake doesn't hurt), and I find it very easy to clean on the go. In this regard, it is no better or worse than the pStyle. I am very happy with this purchase. I'm about to purchase another one just to leave in the truck we use to haul our toys. The Freshette does cost a little more than the pStyle; however, the superior design and material quality is well worth it. My pStyle made its way to a landfill quite some time ago. It was of no use to me.
