Relieve Your Bladder While Standing!
During WAVE Journey's recent adventure in South Africa we had plenty of opportunity to test out a few FUDs (Feminine Urinary Device).
These products are great for many times when you don't want to bare your butt to the world or have no other option but to use unclean, public washrooms.
Useful when hiking, cycling, dirty or no public washrooms, camping, skiing, and for all your foreign and domestic travels (car, train, ferry, plane).
Five companies provided us with their product. We liked all of them and they each have their merits.
Here are our results:

Freshette ~
WJ loved this product and will use it for many years to come. A little on the large side (as far as purse or pocket), but easy to use and no spills or splash. Comes in its own discreet zip lock travel pouch and easily fits into a pocket or purse.

Freshette is a revolutionary modern restroom alternative designed to give every woman the freedom we deserve!
Tired of unsanitary public restrooms, where you end up accidentally splashing onto your clothing or body?
What about having no other choice but exposing yourself in the wild where there is no restroom available?
Well, if you answered "YES" you came to the right place!
It was with this feeling in mind that we developed Freshette.
Freshette has been anatomically designed to contour to the female body, for freedom and ease of use.
Freshette is small, compact, feather light and comes with a convenient travel pouch that fits neatly into your purse or pocket, so you can carry it everywhere you go.
With Freshette it's that simple. No more hassle when you "have to go" anymore.

TravelMate
Avoid contact with public restroom surfaces. TravelMate users don’t need to “hover” uncomfortably while urinating over a dirty toilet seat to stay clean. Minimize undressing. TravelMate users are able to pee without having to seek out a private place to get half-way undressed— a great benefit when wearing restrictive clothing, hiking, snowmobiling, or answering emergency ”calls of nature” alongside the highway. Because TravelMate users can usually urinate while remaining fully clothed— like males— they are much less likely to get bitten by mosquitoes on their derriere. Toilet paper not required. Most TravelMate users find as they pull the TravelMate forward, the cradle tip “wipes” off residual urine, eliminating the need for toilet paper— real nice when traveling away from home in areas where none can be found!
