Enjoy Cricket's GoGirl Story:

I am a retired undercover police office and let me tell you the only thing I had to use back in the 90's was a plastic cup and a funnel.  It worked but it was a pain to use in small enclosed spaces like I was so often found myself having to use it.  Oh, how I wished I had a Go-Girl back then!!!  
 I remember my first experience of being in a Ford Mustang while watching a house that we were waiting on a search warrant.  I was assigned to one end of the street and my partner to the other end.  After about ten hours it was mandatory to use the cup and funnel.  I had used numerous times an empty milk jug and and funnel while in the surveillance van.  But these small quarters required a smaller catching device.  My biggest mistake was what I did with the urine after I was done.  I didn't like the thought of keeping it in the car with me so when I was sure there was no activity (about 4:30 am) I poured it out the driver's side window where it landed in a grassy area.  About 30 minutes later I watched a man in his P.J.'s and Robe open his garage door and head out with his dog for an early morning stroll.  It took the dog all but about 30 seconds to come running up next to my vehicle to smell the ground right below my window.  So, I learned a valuable lesson from that mistake.  Keep the urine in the car until I can dispose of it properly! 


Cricket we wish we could have been there for you too.  Talk about an exciting job! There is a GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt on its way to you now.

GoGirl and the Military
Dear Sarah,
Thank you so much for sending the Go-Girl to 1st Medical Battalion, Alpha Company.  The girls were absolutely ecstatic to receive it, and everyone was excited to send this picture with their thanks!  Two girls are "missing" from the picture, but received theirs later that day.  I am in the back row, 5th person from the left (and right, actually - right in the middle).  We are headed out to Afghanistan and we all know that we will be depending on the Go-Girl the whole way through!

Thank you so much!!

There are not words for how proud it makes us feel to be part of your team Rupa.  The work that you ladies do is beyond that of what most can even begin to claim.  You are the pride of our great country.  Good luck, Be Safe, and Thank You for taking us along with you.

I am so excited about Go Girl!!  I found you while browsing on the internet for some options for an upcoming trip.
 
Joy on a Mission Trip
I am a missionary and will be heading into the jungle villages of Petén, Guatemala in a couple months. I’ve been there before and intentionally didn’t drink enough water so that I wouldn’t have to urinate in the jungle.  It is so not healthy to “hold-it” and certainly not healthy to spend day after day not hydrating properly in tropical heat and humidity.  This 10 week trip will include camping in these villages.  I’m so excited to order and try out my Go Girl before heading to Guatemala and then going with confidence that I can “go with confidence.”
 
I was looking for a female urinal, but didn’t like the lack of ab
ility to be discrete with a large hard plastic bottle. I’m really impressed with Go Girl’s sleek and portable design and re-usability.  I’ve found exactly what I need!  Thanks Go-Girl!

Wow Joy, that is simply amazing.  We are so excited to share in all your travels and good work.  Cheers to you!  A GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt is on its way to you now.

Enjoy Amy's GoGirl Story:

I received my Go-Girl in the mail yesterday. I’ve already given it a “go” at home and found it to be very user friendly! My cousin’s wife picked one up for herself at the Minnesota State Fair and shared her clever purchase on Facebook. Of course, I immediately posted that I was seriously going to have to invest in one for myself, as I am an avid climber and spend many weekends in the great outdoors; either hanging at the base of a local crag, or hanging on the side of the rock, often for hours at a time. Her next post was fantastic news that one was in the mail on the way to me…she and my cousin felt I should have one…yes!!!
 
Last summer I climbed the east buttress of Mt. Whitney, and the Go-Girl would have been my perfect climbing companion. The most difficult part of the entire climb was figuring out how to pee on a small ledge. Unfortunately I put off going to the bathroom while I was on a bigger ledge, figuring I could go at the next belay. I was unpleasantly surprised when I was met with a considerably smaller ledge and waiting was no longer an option. My husband had to do everything for me (except pee) while I anchored in and clung to the wall. Can I just say it was no small feat! Thank goodness for wicking material, as it was impossible to avoid my pants and shoes! A Go-Girl would have made such a huge difference in that experience!
 
My husband and I are planning to climb this weekend, so I can hardly wait to use my Go-Girl on our multi-pitch climb. My “holding it until I get to the top” days are over!!!

 

We will have to go with you on your next climbing adventure Amy!  Be on the look out for a GoGirl T-shirt and GoGirl in your mail soon :)

GoGirl GoTour @ Interbike in Las Vegas, NV

GoGirls Karin, Sarah, Linda and Velia wheeled into Las Vegas to participate in the Interbike International Trade Expo. This was a great opportunity to introduce GoGirl to hundreds of reporters, distributors and journalists from over 60 countries.  The female cyclists were very excited to hear that “stepping off the trail” would no longer be dreadful.  Every water bottle should be accompanied by a GoGirl

GoGirl Story 9: Lauri and the Military

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!

Lauri S


Lauri we are so glad that we got to go to the Boundary Waters with you.  It is so beautiful up there.  The Military is totally a market we are breaking into, thank you so much for your recommendation and your kind words.  A GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt should be on its way to you soon.

Enjoy Tina's GoGirl Story:

Wow, this is going to come in handy for my job!  I'm a stuntwoman, and there are times that I have to sit in a car, for a scene, for hours and hours on end.  A lot of the car scenes are filmed all night until the sun comes up, so I drink a lot of coffee to keep me on point.....and we all know what coffee does.  Bathrooms are sometimes miles from the set, and time is money when we are filming, so I have had to get very creative when I have to "go."  The GoGirl is going to make my life so much easier!!!  Thank you.

Seriously Tina, we are so happy that we make your VERY exciting life a little easier.  Be on the look out for a GoGirl and GoGirl T-Shirt to be headed your way.

I received your product, "GoGirl" and must tell you it's great!  There are few places in the desert a female can relieve herself - the guys can go against a fence - especially while on convoy.  Your product rocks!

Andi we are super excited to go on convoy with you and help you, um, "stand-up" to all those boys.  A t-shirt and GoGirl will be on its way to you soon.
