We are very excited over at GoGirl to continue to share our GoGirl Story Series. We are calling for all you lovely ladies to share your GoGirl stories with us: times when you needed us, thought of us, or used us. Email us at promo@go-girl.com to participate. We will post a new story each week or so and if we use your story we will send you a free GoGirl and GoGirl T-Shirt.
Enjoy Lauri's GoGirl Story:
I won a couple go-girls a while back on Twitter and finally brought one along on our weekend trip to the Boundary Waters. Love it. I thought it would be 'messier' but was easy to wipe out and put back in the tube for next time. So easy that I'll be putting it in my purse to carry every day!
Anyways, I just entered the quarterly contest and noticed one category that you may be missing for 'how will you use a go-girl'. Military Women! I used to be a loadmaster in the MN Air National Guard. I
would have loved to have a go-girl back then!! Basically I flew
around in the back of the C-130 cargo planes. Our 'bathroom' was a platform with a shower curtain for privacy. 'Privacy' was certainly relative when we were hauling 90 Army guys around on the plane. They weren't so good at checking to see if someone was using the bathroom before pulling back the curtain!
The women flyers (loadmasters, flight engineers, pilots and
navigators) wear a flight suit and the only way to use the toilet is to unzip the flight suit and drop the whole thing so we can hover over the seat (not so fun when it was a bit bumpy). So having the curtain opened could end up to be a bit embarassing not to mention dropping our flight suit landed it on the platform which wasn't exactly the cleanest after all the guys using it. The go-girl would allow females to keep the flight suit on, unzip it from the bottom up just like guys can, hold the go-girl with one hand and hold the curtain shut with the other. And actually, the planes I was trained on were older than what they have here in MN and the only toilet is literally a bucket with a plastic bag in it. Guys could open a little hatch and pee out the side of the plane, women had to squat over the bucket and even worse, whoever used the bucket had to empty it when the flight was over.
Needless to say, I never used it.
I imagine the go-girl would be a welcome addition to any women's pocket in the military!
Love your product and hope you might be able to find a bunch more customers in the military!
