About the Shewee

Pink Shewee pictureThe Shewee is a fantastically convenient, portable plastic vessel which enables the female volunteer traveller abroad to urinate in a more practical and safer manner. The shewee device has been invented by a woman, Samantha Fountain, to help other women urinate in an upright position and make it more easier and comfortable to wee in a variety of situations, such as at music festivals, at sporting events, during camping holidays, and for certain medical conditions. It is relatively simple to use and can help you keep your dignity at the times you most want to.

As a backpacking traveller, it is also very useful in so many different scenarios, such as in remote jungle locations where perhaps you do not want to squat near to the ground, or in unhygienic public toilets, or during long bus journeys where you do not have to find a private spot to urinate as you can turn your back to the bus and use the shewee! Plus this simple vessel allows you to keep your backpack with you at all times, which can be crucial in some locations. The shewee is a small water-repellant device, which is easy to clean and easy to carry as part of your backpack. You can find out more and buy the shewee from the shewee website here. It is an incredibly simple idea but one that is brilliantly effective and useful for the female traveller abroad.

The shewee is available in a number of different colours and there are a number of accessories to help you protect your shewee and help you to get the most out of it.
