GoGirl Talk

For the 2nd time, GoGirls Sue, Sarah and Jana stood out in the crowd at the Minneapolis Nature Valley Bike Fest. It was a blast (also nerve wrenching) watching the bikers race at unbelievable speeds; and so close together! A continued reminder that those women bikers love their GoGirls.

Ride on ladies!

Name: GoGirl

What it is: A flexible silicone funnel in either pink or tan that lets women urinate standing up. Anyone who has spent time in an undeveloped country or even in some parts of Europe, such as France and Italy, knows how important this can be not just for convenience but also for hygiene. The GoGirl comes in a plastic carrying case with a few squares of toilet paper.

How it works: Unroll the device, press it tightly to your body.

The good: In many countries, a public restroom may contain nothing more than a hole in the floor or a toilet but no seat. For these times, the GoGirl is a welcome relief. It's also a great device for campers. I have used a similar plastic device for several years and wasn't sure the flexible GoGirl would work as well. But it did. The top edge is turned in to form a barrier. The silicone seems to hang on to some moisture, so if you can't wash it out right away, the wet stuff stays inside. If you're unsure of how to use the device, the bag has instructions.

The bad: GoGirl has to be washed out with soap and water at some point. Also, for transport, the maker suggests rolling it up tight in the plastic bag and putting it into the original tube. That makes for a compact package to toss in your purse, but it will have to be dried out eventually.

Cost: $9.99

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.

It's been an amazing experience bringing GoGirl to women.  GoGirl is such a unique product and we've had a wonderful response from women throughout the world since our launch in January.  Our product is the best on the market -- easy to use, easy to store.

We're consistently finding that the majority of women love the freedom the product brings to them. Watch our Testimonial video from the Minneapolis Women's Expo on January 17, 2009.  This is very typical of the type of response we get from women about GoGirl!
