Well I promised I'd update when I got my GoGirl and got to use it. It is way better than anything else I've tried. No overflow and no dripping. I almost have it perfected so that I can do it with my pants up, but with it being so flexible that is a little harder. Plus it fits in my pocket so nicely!
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
I use the same thing - heaps easier than anything else eh bro!?
Told you so :] lol jkjk im glad it worked out &that you found something to your liking!
Those of you who have used this - Do you think it could be hooked up to some tubing and run through a pack & pee, or is it too soft for that? Looks promising.

I think its a definite possibility mate - might take a bit of creativity, but thats my plan for it.
It 'points' sort of downwards and is able to be positioned with one hand - I really don't see why not...
Alright so I'm intrigued. How does this STP work exactly? I've looked at the website and I sort of get it. Where do you put it afterward? When I do feel like using my STP, I get tired of having to carry it around. Can you clean it at the stall (I don't use urinals) with just toilet paper and clean it better later?
Sorry to interupt. But wanted to see what this is.

I carry mind in a plastic baggy and wash it when I can (if no one else is around or if there is a private bathroom) or I will just wash it next time I am in a safe place. It's actually really simple to use too. It's like a funnel so you just place it against the body (covering the area that your pee comes from, I know for some people it's not a straight down stream) it's large enough that it covers very easily. It will take some practice to use it without having to pull your pants down part way but it's worth it. My biggest problem was learning to use it with my pants up since it is so soft and flexible. I was worried about it collapsing inward from the pressure of holding it. If you choose to get one (which I totally recommend) it is one of those things that just makes sense once you start using it a few times.
are all of them pink?
Just looked at site and it seems they only ship within the U S. Anyone know how us in the UK can get our hands on one-literally
I managed to fit mine into a packy. I started like i was making the medicine spoon type STP device (cut off the top part) but i cut off the "lip" part at the top also so it was flatter - left the girth of the opening, though. Stuck some tubing in that, super-glued it together, then stuck the whole thing down the spout for the device (had to cut the tip off) and super-glued the whole thing together for safety.
It worked, but i need to fine tune it. I tend to need two hands to use the whole device because the material IS very soft and i found it more likely to buckle if i didn't hold it.
I'm also trying to fit my SheWee in a packy.
On it's own, both devices work great for me. I would just like to be able to use a packy STP device someday soon.....

UK is "international" to the US and it says they do international orders. That'd include the UK unless they say they don't somewhere else.

I got mine in khaki, it's pretty much just your typical light brown color.
Still waiting for mine - two weeks now :(

When you go to choose your shipping, it seems that "International" only includes Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. :(

Well if anyone on here would like to get one and you can't seem to find them elsewhere online that will ship to you I'd be happy to help out.
I have full internet access, plus a paypal and an alertpay account so money transfers would be easy. If anyone does want some help we can work out all of the details, just contact me NE_Cowboy at cox dot net. We can get it all figured out.
I actually just used mine one handed (go me!) it really seemed to work out because of the way I was standing. I held it in one hand, pulled my pants part way down (between my knees and thighs so they'd be out of the way, I've also found that tucking them inside themselves helps, I can get a pic if that is confusing) then I leaned forward and put my other hand on the wall behind the toilet so I was at a bit of an angle. I had no overflow/backflow problems at all, and for me it was my first pee of the day which is the longest fastest one ;)
The Go Girl looks very similar to the Whiz Away, which is from the UK. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here, but you should be able to find it by Googling "whiz away" anyway.
I tried one, but for my anatomy I preferred the "Shewee" (terrible name, great product!) - and in fact, the company who make Shewees have been working with one of the FTM groups in the UK to produce them in more suitable colours (and the FTMs in question have informally renamed them T-pees ;))

I have a friend who is in the Navy, for work purposes she got a shewee and she swears by it. She tried a few other products but she is on the larger side and said that the others were just to small for her. Are they easy to carry around with you? I don't remember if I discussed that with her or not.
Maybe it was because of you guys but in the last year GoGirl started exporting to Europe, at least I got mine without shipping problems 2 days ago. I'm still so happy I'm drinking liters of water just to use it over and over again :) It feels so awesome.
I also purchased one of the GoGirl STP devices a while back...worked pretty well. I tried to use it with a packer, but it's just too cumbersome to leave inside my pants all day, plus it tends to fold in on itself, which can cause leaks. Other than that, it works ok.
