GoGirl Story: .
Hi Sarah and folks at GoGirl,
I received my GoGirl order within 3 days! Wow, I was impressed at how quickly I received them and am happy that I'll have it for my vacation! Thank you for shipping them so fast!! And I've already discovered that GoGirl is easy to use! I love it and with my physical limitations, I think it will make things a little easier, if you know what I mean! I used another product (looking similar to a kazoo) and Go Girl is 100% more capable! Thanks for a great product. I'll be recommending GoGirl to my friends, especially those who camp and hike and also to my friends who have muscular dystrophy!
Best Regards,
Cindy
Thanks so much for sharing your story, Cindy. I'm glad to hear you received your GoGirl in time for your vacation and that it is helpful with your physical limitations. Thanks for passing the word onto others with muscular dystrophy as well.

GoGirl Story: .
Hi Sarah,
We recently went to China to adopt our son. China is not known for it's elegant bathrooms, instead, they use a porcelain hole in the floor that you squat over. I knew this would be difficult for my 6yr old so we took our GoGirl along. We carried it everywhere with us (along with extra toilet paper) and used it at restaurants, shopping malls and the museum. My 6yr old got quite good at using it and would not go to the public bathrooms in China without it. Thank you GoGirl for giving us one less thing to worry about!

Thanks so much for sharing your story, Jolene. Glad to hear GoGirl came in handy for you and your daughter during your trip overseas!

Today Amy from Sierra Vista, AZ shares her
GoGirl Story: .
Hi Sarah,
Just wanted to say that my field test with Go-Girl today proved to be quite
successful! My husband and I climbed a multi-pitch climb and I was able to
use GoGirl several times throughout the day: hiking in, at the base of our
climb, and even at the start of the 4th pitch. The handy storage tube made
it easy to carry in my pocket, and it was so nice to be able to take a potty
break at a belay station without any adjustments to my harness. Thank you
again for such a clever, innovative product!
Amy
Thanks so much for sharing your story Amy!
