P.S. what does "largely flush decked mean"?
In ship terms, it means the deck forms an unbroken sweep from stem to stern, with no superstructure.  It's a metaphor for not having a penis.

Both males and females of course, have a poop deck.

Yes try it in the shower. With shorts on. You need to lean slightly, which is easier to try than describe. The extension tube is useful, and if you buy them together, you get a box, which makes it more discreet and solves the problem of having a damp one in the bag.

They are at their most useful when wearing bibshorts, especially when adorned with layers of clothing that you don't wish to remove and when faced with a mass of brambles and nettles :-X. I use mine indoors with the bibshorts as much as I use them outside.

The most difficult thing to get past is the feeling that you are weeing yourself, and it sometimes feels that there is some overflow, even when there isn't. When I am in practice, I don't have any problems, but it is tricky to use it again after a break.

I clean it with milton when I return home after a tour. I always carry one - there is a basic one in my nappy bag at work. ::-)

I've tried two: the silicone Whizz Freedom and the P-Mates cardboard disposable ones that you got at Glasto.

The P-Mates was definitely the easiest; it unfolds from flat and has a really wide deep area to pee into so there are no overflow issues at all. You can push your knickers to one side. I'd rather they weren't disposable though, at it's not very eco. I saw dozens of women using these in varying states of inebriation with no problems in the female urinals.

The Whizz is not quite so easy to get the hang of and requires more practice although apparently it does work better than the SheWee because it has a bigger area (although not as big as the P-Mates). You need to tilt your pelvis forward and if you don't get it quite right there are leakage issues, but you can master it with practice.

I do find it less messy than squatting. As Kim says, there is so much that can go wrong with that...

An American lady I met on my first Paris Brest Paris never had any trouble.
We were stopped at a secret control atop the infamous Col de Roc in the middle of the night.
It was foggy as well as dark and she wore glasses, so asked me if I could pilot her down the descent so that she could follow my rear light.
Before we set off, she asked me to wait a second.
Next, I saw her squat down and heard a strong stream of wee hitting tarmac. Up she got and off we went. :D

I felt a bit sorry for any following riders without mudguards though.

Which reminds me, teethgrinder... a friend of mine lived in the States for a while, and ended up helping in the following car during the National Women's Collegiate Road Race championship. At one point the peleton decided it was time for what commentators coyly refer to as a "comfort break". The race was held in a flat, featureless part of the country - not even a bush to hide behind. He was treated to the sight of 60 of the country's top student road racers squatting en masse at the side of the road.

Thanks for the input folks, I think I'll go for a Shewee Extreme (the one with the case) and see how I get on.


What (some of us at least) are curious to know is, can you write your name in the snow when using one?

If I manage that I'll post a photo!*

Look, what you need isnt a shewee. What you need is THIS:


Don't question. It makes people angry.

I'm *so* tempted to molish a shewee out of a vuvuzela now.  Only I'm worried that I might start to get a reputation...

Those are the only ones I've ever tried - their first year at Glastonbury was the only year I went.  I find it really difficult to pee outdoors if squatting, but I managed to use one of those no problem.  Probably because the beer had removed my inhibitions whilst drastically increasing my need to pee.

Old guy goes into a chemist an asks for Viagra, but wants the tablets cut into quarters.

Pharmacist points out that for full sex he rally needs a whole tablet

Old Guy replies " Who mentioned sex - I just want to stop peeing on my shoes!"


The problem is not restricted to women!

I've got a Shewee with extension tube. I've had mixed success with it. I was able to master its use practising at home, but out in the wilds of Norfolk, in cycle shorts, success was limited. Not due to the inhibition to pee: I have no such inhibition, but the, ahem, backwash due to the cycle shorts/Shewee interface and a resultant wrong angling of the device. Plus, I too must be an odd shape down below due to the narrow nature of the Shewee ... I could be seen cycling home followed by a large cloud of bluebottles...

Just pull your shorts down and piss! It can't be that difficult, can it?

You're right, it's not difficult to pull the shorts down and have a pee. I can do that quite well thanks.

I, however,  prefer not to inflict my ageing bare arse & fanny on the assorted natives of Norfolk or any cyclists I happen to be in the company of. And nettles sting. My tendencies are more towards the sadistic than masochistic too.

Knobs are bendy (in this context) and directable. I doubt the girlie alternatives being discussed here have the same... ahem... flexibility.

Should have, they're made of silicone.





Hmm...I was assuming that bending and flexing would compromise a necessary seal - that was all.

I should imagine that the excess 'product' that is lingering in the ensuing U bend might be a bit messy.
