My GoGirl Review & Giveaway

what's pink & new in Malaysia?

Here's an interesting review for my readers today. When I first got the e-mail to review GoGirl I go what the **** is it? I did a fair bit of reading on GoGirl's website and was throughly impressed by the thingamajig. Not only it's in pink it's something that I could use during emergencies when there is no real clean bathrooms around. When I say real, I mean real proper bathrooms where there's flush, toilet paper, no signs of brownies anywhere (yes I shall call them brownies for now) and clean toilet bowl to sit on.

Girls in the UK understands it, as the video goes. Girls in America is starting to use them. How about girls in Malaysia? I am probably the first few to start using this, particularly because I have been wanting a solution like this since I have trouble keeping my pee during road trips and wish I could just pee like a man  but not turned into a man. I love being a girl.

I say girl and not woman on purpose.

Simply put, GoGirl is the way to stand up to crowded, disgusting, distant or non-existent bathrooms. It's a female urination device (sometimes called a FUD) that allows you to urinate while standing up. It's neat. It's discreet. It's hygienic.

Alright, so how am I suppose to review this? Well no girls I am not going to take a picture of myself using the device on my **** and start peeing. I did however test it when I needed to go in my bathroom. I tried it standing up (works) and I tried it sitting down (nope don't work). I wash it and tucked back into the pink reusable tube it comes in (need a bit more practice).

Before I say more, let's see what's really in the pink reusable tube it comes in?

yes it's made for girls & it's small too

the reusable packaging it comes in

here's what you get

So there you have it, once you tear off the seal around the cap, your GoGirl literally pops out along with a plastic bag that has information on it and a tissue which is really weird. Why 1 tissue? well better than no tissue at all.

The GoGirl is made of medical grade silicone and it is really flexible as I bend it around like a toy. It's soft and rubbery to feel, it's not pink but lavender in color. Clean the GoGirl with water and soap but if you're out there and there's no soap, just find a water source to clean it. The website says it's germ resistant and heat resistant :)

How To Use GoGirl? 
Easy, just hold it against your body, forming a seal. Aim and, well, pee. Pretty simple, huh?

GoGirl is small and somewhat cute. I can put it in my purse, my bag or even my pocket if its big enough. Keep it in the car compartment for road trips to Malacca, Ipoh or Penang. No more being embarrassed hiding behind the car door squatting at a drain or roadside trying to pee. Now just open door, still hide behind it and pee standing up. Nobody will know you're even peeing because you're not female squatting on the roadside anymore. It's alright when we're kids but now that we're adults, I rather not people know why we are squatting out in the open.

P.S I don't dare to go into the "hutan" to pee. 

Also it comes in handy if you really do find yourself a public toilet but dare not sit or squat in fear of monster germs or yucky brownies getting on your skin. After use, just wash it with water at the sink. 

Only GoGirl is made with flexible, medical grade silicone. Dispose of it after use. Or clean and reuse as you like. (Urine is sterile, but the product can come into contact with contaminates during use, so take precautions when cleaning.) Our patented splash guard eliminates messing and spilling. Once you practice a time or two, using GoGirl is going to feel like second nature. 

Test #1: Using GoGirl Standing Up
It was easy, I just hold the short part front, fit it nicely there somewhat like a cover and pee. Well at first it was weird peeing into a device like this but after the 3rd testing, I'm already peeing like man. There's no spills or overflowing pee. I wash the GoGirl and dry it on my sink.

Test #2: Using GoGirl Sitting Down
I was trying to see if I could pull this off like a man in car peeing into a bottle. It's really tricky, the device is made to flow downwards (gravity yes) but I am sure one day I can master the art of peeing sitting down using GoGirl. At the moment, I must say I can't do it because it leaks out >_< in sitting position at the back. Alright I did this in the bathroom not in my car okay.

After testing it for several days, I concluded that while this may be new to us girls in Malaysia it's still something that we can use during emergencies, travel, road trips, at concerts, sports (you know when it's scary to sit on the portable toilet), germ phobic, and well just basically if there's no proper toilet, do it like a man! My next question to my readers is...
