I love this, Jillan, really brilliant. I needed this right now.

Now, I wonder, is the population active on this forum representative for the whole of society or will the results of this groundbreaking poll reveal someting significant about the correlation between attachment issues and lavatory behaviour.
Enjoy your weekend

lol, shaman, I had the same thought.

Although it looks like the results of the poll so far reveal us as surprisingly non-neurotic. However, it's still early and all the ballots are far from in!

No, no, I definitely think we are non-neurotic!

We need a 4th option for "whip your she-wee out of your handbag and pee standing up"

Yes I have one, no I never remember to take it out with me.

You mean that you guys get to sit down!!

The only time I have this dilemma is in a loo on a train. Try standing up at 100mph while rocking and rolling - now THAT'S messy

OMG - Mallard

I had to Google "Shewee" - Never heard of that before. That would be so helpful when primitive camping with the girls. I will definately have to get one of those!

Oh AV

I was so hoping you would see this and respond! I can see how standing on a moving train could be difficult!

Nooooooooooooooo.......!!!!!!

You could always place trigger warning Jilian then dear AV could be spared his blushes - and the rest of us could learn a new and useful skill

Tee hee. She-wee is only one brand. There are a few and some suit people better than others. I have one that is called a "Whizz freedom". I kid you not. *g*

It's even funnier that they sell them on Amazon of all places.

I was first introduced to the idea at the Glastonbury festival about 9 years back where there were female urinals very close to the main stage and wonderfully they didn't have massively long queues. So I decided to just have a go. Except I didn't account for being affected by, um, performance anxiety and ended up having to leave, breathe and then go back in and try again!

AV, I had never considered the train dilemma!

I have to agree with you, all, that this thread was definitely needed today! Happy Friday!

Hey (((SP))) did you notice there were two dropped jaws? I had to have a second look cos' I couldn't believe what I was seeing the first time round

OK my dear friends!!! In keeping with this whole important topic, AND faithfully following my T's advice yesterday of needing to "take a break from my process" (in light of recent emerging terrifying discoveries related to my childhood abuse, which have destabilized me the last few weeks), I share here something that I totally resonate with. Let's just say that I ABSOLUTELY relate to the shame factor as expressed in the normal functioning of a healthy bowel system, AND so aptly described in this youtube. I hope this lightens your system as much as it has mine.

P.S. I actually thought this was a joke advertisement, but my precious friends, no need to fear any longer and contain the shame machine inside, it is REAL and you, too, can obtain your PooPourri!!!!

WOW!!! The girl in that video clip is wearing Gary Barlows toupee Perhaps Luc or Draggers will let us know if GB was sporting a chrome dome tonight on X-F

I am laughing so hard right now, you may need to revive me, too! Was the thud of Draggsies from the she-wees, from AV peeing in a loo at 100 mph, from the amazing wonders of PooPourri, or from my self-disclosure? BTW, it looks like choice A on the poll is ever so slowly catching up--what does that mean?!!

Oh I am so glad my little poll has generated so much happiness around here! I take my laughter where I can get it these days and this has been awesome.

I've got to get on amazon now and order my she wee and now some poopourri too.

Yes the hoverers are making steady progress in the poll. But the sitters are still far outnumbering them. So scientific I am.

Thanks so much, Jillann, for your brilliant idea of the poll and the discussion it has spawned. It is exactly what I needed right now to make me smile and be diverted.

BTW this thread has now provided some wonderful ideas for Christmas presents. If I couple the gifts with all the informative Youtubes out there, be it on how to use a shewee, who invented it (the inventor was a lady who did her dissertation on public toilets), and my fav PooPourri advertisement that I have watched with DH several times, I will be all set! Surely PooPourri will be a hit among co-workers, family, and friends (DH and my son will LOVE it!). The shewee is a bit more--huhummm--of an awkward gift. I can see it now as my MIL opens it, or my DIL, "Wow! Wait!! What the hell is this?!!!!" No way am I going to show them how to use it!! Nuh-uhh. That is what the Youtubes are for.

Thanks again, Jillann!!! You made my day!

Amber, I watched the Poo-Pourri ad and it made me laugh till I almost wet my pants. I so needed to do that. After my very tough session the other night, I really needed to see something fun. Thanks.

Hello my friends! I have continued to watch this thread with great interest and lightheartedness.

First, I viewed the tally again for the poll, and the "what the hell-ers" are still strongly in the lead, with the hoverers lagging behind in second, and the seat liners behind them. Seems we might in general be a risky bunch here.

Secondly, Becca, I am so very happy that the Poo-Pourri advertisement brought such elated feelings to you and helped to reduce post session fallout (I wonder if we can suggest such diversionary topics as part of our therapy?). Might I suggest next time having the shewee readily available so as to avoid the misfortune of the "almost pants wetting" phenomena?

Thirdly, SP, I am so very happy that the Christmas idea has been well received. I did visit the PP website and to my delight there are many options of various PP scents available, even including Holiday-scented versions! And in case you are not in the UK, I have found locations in the US of A using the very handy outlet locator provided on the PP site. Should you be a disbeliever in the efficaciousness of PP, there are even testimonials to assuage your fears.

Fourthly, and last but not least, our beloved SP has taught us all a new word: scatological (or scatology). The word sounded vaguely familiar but I went to my trusted Wiki site and found the definition (the study of excrement; obscenity especially humor referring to excrement), and lo and behold, what was there but an ad for Poo-Pourri!!!

Given the scat definition above, I did want to say please forgive me if I have offended anyone with any of my comments in this thread. My intent was not to be obscene. Frankly, it has been a hell of a last few weeks and the laughter has really been good medicine for me.

Draggsies, you are the best!!!! Even I missed that!!!!
