Female urinals come in different shapes and sizes. Some are designed to be used while standing, while others can be used while sitting down. Some female urinals even have a built-in seat so that you can use them like a regular toilet.
Shewee can also be used from a sitting position – just add a Shewee Peebol, urine bag or bottle. Any size bottle will do- but we recommend it has at least 1 litre capacity. To use Shewee sitting down: Place yourself at the front of the chair to allow the Shewee outlet pipe to be directed vertically downwards.
Helping someone use a urinal
If needed, help them spread their legs and position the urinal. If possible, cover the person with a sheet or blanket for privacy. If you can leave them alone safely, leave the room to give more privacy. If the person needs help, hold the urinal in place while they urinate.
Just unzip or pull up. Then push your underwear to one side, hold the Shewee in place and away you go. If you turn your back, as any gentleman would, no one will see anything. The Shewee comes with its own case, so once you've used it, give it a shake and pop it back in its holder.
When finished, pull the funnel forwards to wipe and catch any drips, then quickly give yourself a wipe with toilet paper. Run some water through the Shewee and give it a gentle shake. Replace reusable Shewee into re-sealable bag or the carry case.
Splash-back is at its worst when the urine stream is angled perpendicular to the urinal wall. According to one of the researchers, Randy Hurd, the best option to prevent splash-back is to "aim at the sidewalls of the urinal." He also suggests that gentlemen stand closer to the urinal.

Contraction of the pelvic muscles is related to a disturbed urinary flow [8]; relaxation of these muscles is better achieved by urinating in a sitting position and by supporting the feet in a comfortable position [39]–[41].
Made in India, Peebuddy is India's first portable, disposable female urination device for women using which women can stand and urinate in all public and common toilets.
There's a better way. Female urination devices (FUDs), also called pee funnels, mean that answering the call of nature does not require you to sacrifice your dignity.
Disposable urination devices not only help women, but also contribute to water conservation. It's an added advantage that they take up less space and are also skin friendly.
When you need to urinate, pull your car over to a safe place. The sides of the road, a freeway exit, or some other place away from traffic are all good options. For safety, do not pull your car over onto the side of a major freeway or highway. Do not use your urination device while you are driving.
The Peebol is our pocket sized toilet.
Easy to use, discreet, non-spill, non-odour, and so small it'll fit in your purse, the Peebol is great for travelling. Inside each Peebol are rapid performing granules that change liquid, into a solid gel. Keep them in your car for any emergency.
Doctors added that when people sit, pelvic and hip muscles are relaxed, making urination easier. Associate Clinical Professor at the UCLA Department of Urology. Dr Jesse N. Mills said that sitting down is also a better option for men who might struggle to stand up for long periods of time.
Squatting over instead of sitting down on the toilet can change the mechanics of urinating; over time that can increase the risk of lowering urinary tract symptoms including pelvic floor dysfunction and infections.
If you can't get out of bed, you can use bed pans and urine bottles. These aids are usually made of metal, or plastic. Bed pans can be used for both urine (wee) and faecal matter (poo). Urine bottles are an option for men when they need to urinate (wee) while confined to bed.
Always leave a gap. If there are three urinals and only one – the end one - is being used, use the one at the other end. Leave the middle one empty. This is referred to as the “urinal gap” and should always be adhered to unless the bathroom is busy.
“Urinal” means a toilet facility maintained within a toilet room for the sole purpose of urination. “Water closet” means a toilet facility maintained within a toilet room for the purpose of both defecation and urination and which is flushed with water. (c) Toilet facilities–(1) General.
Shy bladder syndrome (paruresis) is a social anxiety disorder that makes it difficult or impossible to urinate (pee) in public restrooms or with people nearby. People with shy bladder avoid using toilets that aren't in their homes.
For purposes of space and economic practicality, urinals are not typically placed inside stalls. Unlike in female public toilets, optimal resource efficiency in men's or boys' public toilets therefore requires urinating in full visibility of other males.
