I got this a few weeks ago. i play paintball in the woods every week with a bunch of guys and it is such a pain to find a hill or tree that covers everythung when you have to drop your draws and go. thats why i got this also going to paintball events the porta pottys get nasty and you have to try to hover over the seat with out peeing on your own pants. i am a short woman so let me tell you it is not easy.
with the go girl now all i need is a tree. i used it a bunch in my own bathroom to get the hang of it. hardest part is learning to go keeping you pants up like a dude. i had no problems with leeking on my cloths or anything.
it is great! and even if you pants fall you are still standing, wont pee on your pants cus you can aim and the tree still covers you...
its soft and can be stuffed iin its bag in a pochet without anone knowing... so cool.
My hubby thinks its funny... I love it and i just wash it out with water and i am ready to go again.

I purchased this for those moments when I envy my son and my husband their "outdoor plumbing". We have an RV and a Sailboat, and we camp and travel often to places where the standards of cleanliness are not quite up to mine. This gadget is PERFECT for those times. Don't bother buying a special container for disposal, any empty, wide-mouth bottle with a screw cap will do the job. This product is easy to use (practice at home so you know the right angles and details) and if I have one criticism, it is the size of the container it ships and then stores in. The silicone rubber is thin so the item is flexible, it rolls up very small and stuffs into a plastic tube. That might be great for transporting it, but once I took it out, I just could not get it back into that tube. No problem: dedicate a rubber lined cosmetic bag, tuck in a small package of wipes-to-go, and you're all set. You'll be thanking yourself the first time you need it AND you actually have it with you!!!

The Go Girl is fantastic for active girls who enjoy the outdoors, sports, music festivals, camping, traveling, etc. Sketchy bathrooms -- or nonexistent ones! -- are no match for this handy device. There have been so many times in my life I wish I had had one of these!
Honestly, before I ordered it, I wasn't quite sure how it would even work: would it properly form a seal with no leaks? What if it was too hard or too soft? What if it didn't "fit" me or just plain didn't work? How the heck would I get it back in that tiny case it comes in? But I thought for that price, it was worth trying.
How it works: You hold the Go Girl up to your body and relax your muscles, and the pee comes out the little "exit" tube at the end. This particular Go Girl is a pinkish-lavender (you can also get it in khaki, and although I'm not a "pink" kind of girl, I thought the khaki one looked a little too phallic for my tastes) and is made of a soft, flexible silicone, so it molds to your unique shape and forms a leak-proof seal. When you're done, you either 1) rinse/wash/dry the device and put it back in the tube, or 2) put the unwashed device into a plastic bag to wash later (if you can't rinse it at that moment).
The Go Girl comes in a small, resealable plastic case, rolled up with a plastic bag and a paper napkin. The bag and napkin are for "emergency" situations when you can't rinse/wash the Go Girl. You're supposed to toss the plastic bag and the napkin after use and replace them with your own baggie and toilet paper in preparation for your next "emergency." The instructions that come with the Go Girl advise you to practice in the shower a few times before trying it elsewhere, so you can get the hang of using it. Holding and positioning the device is a little awkward at first (hey, I've never used anything like this before!), but after a few times, it feels very natural.
The only thing the instructions lack is a detailed description of how to fold the Go Girl small enough to get it back in the plastic case. They advise you to go to their website to see a video, which I had to watch 4 times before I realized how the woman was actually folding it. But I figured it out, and here's how you do it:
1. Hold the Go Girl so the "narrow" side with the exit tube is facing you.
2. This seems counter-intuitive, but stay with me: fold the Go Girl flat from front to back so that the two narrow rounded ends meet at the top. It should now be in a diamond shape with the exit tube pointing slightly up towards you.
3. Fold the exit tube upwards.
4. Roll the Go Girl up from left to right like a tiny sleeping bag and stick it back in the plastic carrying case. Voilà!
I carry mine in my purse in case I come across any sketchy bathrooms while I'm out and about. There have been several times where I was so thankful I had it with me. Also, besides being a lifesaver for gross bathrooms, it's actually faster and more convenient to stay standing, adjust your clothes, and use the Go Girl -- instead of sitting down and doing all that that entails.
I would absolutely recommend this for all women everywhere, without hesitation. I actually bought several to give to my sister, mom, and girlfriends. Every woman should have one of these!
PS -- What's with all the dudes reviewing this product for their female partners? Although I appreciate their thumbs-up approval, I would rather hear from the ladies themselves, thanks, because they're the ones with the equipment required to use this thing. ;)

Recommend this product. Being able to stand and pee is awesome. After being out in the woods for days it's great to have this product. It's also good to have when you're winter camping and you need to pee in the middle of the night. Use this along with a bottle. You don't have to crawl outside and lose all your body heat. Stay in your tent and use this along with a bottle. I put mine in a plastic ziplock bag after use...the container is very small.

When you don't know where the next bathroom will be located or what the state of it may be, this handy devise saves you from pure and utter disgust. I've filled my shoes and wet my pant cuffs all across Europe, but not any more. I'm so thrilled to have this product before my trip to Asia. I tested it out at home, find it easy to use and easy to clean. I also purchased a set of Kushies "On The Go" Wet Bag 2-Pack, Girl Print in which to store this. The small bag fits the Go Girl tube, a little toilet tissue and a sanitizing wipe too.
I'm remembering a certain west Texas gas station restroom in which this would have been super handy on a road trip as well.
