Hey Girls! Pee Standing Up!

Squat, right? But what if you haven't been keeping up with those visits to the gym?
You've never really wished you were a guy, but dang! Sometimes, don't you wish you could pee standing up?
Now you can!
Yesterday I had coffee with Jamie Holland, the spokeswoman for P-Mate, a little cardboard device that lets women pee standing up.

Taking my own travel experiences into account, I can remember several times when a P-Mate would have made it easier to maneuver a hole-in-the-ground toilet.
But really, how easy is it to use?
Well, after my 16-ounce latte, I had enough liquid in me to find out. I arrived home from our interview bursting at the seams. "Wanna watch me pee standing up?" I called out to Quang as I sprinted past him to the bathroom with a P-Mate in hand.
"What?" he yelled. "No way!"

He didn't make it off the couch to come and watch, which was probably a good thing. As I'd never used a pee-standing-up device before, I was nervous about my aim. His watchful eyes might have caused me problems.
But I did it! I peed standing up! With the P-Mate, it was easy. And clean! Turns out, there is nothing wrong with my aim!
Too bad the snow in these parts is almost gone. With a P-Mate in hand, I'd be able to write my name in the snow. Oh well. I guess I'll just settle for the pack of P-Mates Jamie gave me and the knowledge that I can bring them with me the next time I venture off the grid.
Check out this P-Mate promotional video. It's sure to bring a smile!

OMG, this is hilarious. Honestly Kelly, was this easy to use? I mean, the first try easy? If so, I might give it a go.... I mean we've all faced a horrible toilet, even at Starbucks in the states;)

Yes, it was super easy to figure out. I couldn't believe it either, but it was pretty slick!
