stardustjunkie Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have a she wee but I'm a bit concerned about needing a wee at night! Never been a problem before but the last few months I keep getting up in the night. So what do you use in the tent? I'm sharing the tent so I don't particularly fancy a portable toilet type thing, was thinking more discreet. I've seen this but lots of the reviews say it leaks: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/URIWELL-UNISEX-PORTABLE-URINAL-FOR-ADULTS-GENUINE-PRODUCT-/131082779316?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 I also have a she wee but don't fancy pissing in a bottle if it can be avoided! I want something designed for purpose. I also looked at those travel johns and they're very expensive considering I just want something to pee in. So is there anything else I haven't see but should check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustjunkie Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I used travel johns - got a job lot on amazon. Knowing I have them makes me want to go less! You could just use one of these for £1.95 - has a lidhttp://www.completecareshop.co.uk/toileting-aids/urinals-and-bed-pans/economy-unisex-urinal-bottle-view-large/?gclid=CLOhj9Gy7L0CFaoewwod5zMArw I've just ordered my sheepee equivalent for this year - managed to track down the type they use at the Wateraid sheepee at P-matehttp://shop.p-mate.co.uk/ Also a pstyle which is a reusable version from amazonhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Pstyle-Female-Urination-Device/dp/B005P0DIVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397905383&sr=8-1&keywords=pstyle I find the bit at the back makes all the difference! Also means you can keep trousers on and use the zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustjunkie Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Only had to use two in the end! Once in the tent - initial aim being the hardest part! Better with sheewee I would imagine. Second time during the stones, under my mac no-one knew... Particularly not my son who would have disowned me! Loads of capacity, apparently you can reuse/refill but not sure id have the nerve!

kalifire Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 What about going within a crowd? It must happen, especially those people who park themselves down the front and won't leave their beloved spot. How do they do it? Or how do you do it if you've done it? Have you been around somebody doing it? Openly urinating is pretty disgusting and I wouldn't be at all happy with anyone I saw doing that around me, but doing it into a container which is then secured and put into a day bag for later disposal would be ok by me, I think. Alcohol goes straight through you so it's a wonder some of the stage areas aren't a veritable sewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustjunkie Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Good point kalifire. I brought this up after reading something on Facebook about it. Someone said "Just wear a skirt with no underwear and squat wherever you want". I refrained from replying and felt physically sick that someone would do that anywhere they wanted over the farm. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful to anyone else around you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Travel Johns- most useful thing I took last year - no spillage issues as gel absorbs it. Was useful in night or early morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRookin Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Another vote for travel johns. Always that moment of fear when yo think it's going to leak, but they work well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The traveljohn really has hit the nail on the head, they work fantastically and it's worth buying a bulk pack to save as they last. just uee them the next festival you go to or lob one in the car just-in-case etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Could you discreetly use a TravelJohn and pop it in a daybag for when you want to stay in your position in the crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustjunkie Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for the feedback on the Travel John's, I'm definitely buying them! Are they heavy/bulky? They don't look bulky, just don't want to weigh myself down too much! (I'm sure they're not, just checking so I don't have any surprises). I don't like the idea of doing it in a crowded public place so I don't think I would but if you were wearing the right type of clothing such as a skirt for girls, I could imagine it working.

stardustjunkie Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 They're not heavy at all, each one rolls up quite small. Believe me I was desperate (and worried about losing my son in the crowd), it was dark, noisy and I was very discreet! For once prob easier to be a woman... Used sleight of hand under my parka (they are small) and a put in a bag afterwards (the gel just expands - no leakage, no smell). No one had an inkling or I would have died of embarrassment!

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 A cheap option for use in a tent maybe a cheap large funnel and an empty 2 litre milk bottle. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbearne Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah, I did consider something like that. I don't fancy trekking to the toilets with a piss filled bottle though, and I bet others don't want to see it either As far as I can tell, these Travel Johns are bio-degradable, so I'm happy to splash out on them a bit.

stardustjunkie Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Couldn't you just carry the bottle there in a carrier bag? no one would see then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 My mates used traveljohns successfully last year - I didn't but it was always nice to have the option. I think that's fairest - not all the time but if you're desperate, it's night and you're in the middle of a huge pyramid or other crowd so going to the longdrops could effectively mean losing your friends or family. I considered making it to the toilets after the stones last year having been on ale without having to use one quite an achievement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardustjunkie Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I understand, but mentioned it in case it would be a good idea for others, possibly on a tighter budget. As has been said you can conceal it in a plastic bag on the way to the 'proper' toilets empty it and then re-use the next night. I, and many others, have been using this method for many a year.

Peroni Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Always use traveljohns and have one in my day bag for emergency use only... like others have said, easy to use and super discrete. My festi kit is not complete without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggins Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 She wee for daytime use. No need to worry about cleaning your toilet seat before you sit down for wee and travel johns for the tent for that middle of the night/early morning wee. Not used one in a crowd tbh, but I guess under a poncho/ skirt you could get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lipgloss and Cigarettes Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 What's the general consensus on women using the urinals with the help of a shewee or similar? Or are the urinals just for the guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
