Anyone bought / used a Shewee or Peebol (for women to use while standing up)?
morning abby,
how are you this morning ?
Nope, but I am so intrigued - having been on this forum for a while, I know that many hippies bought/used one ...
big warm hug

Good morning renee
How are you today? And how is hip number two behaving.
I am having physio today and driving myself there. How cool is that? I am feeling very grown up!
Yes Abby I bought one as I was having trouble sitting on a regular toilet when we went out and I couldn't find a disabled toilet to use. It was terrific used it for about 6 weeks it gave me peace of mind when going out and as we do a lot of outback camping ( I'm from Oz) it will come in useful then as I find squatting down rather difficult now.

Hi
Yep. I bought a Shewee kit including the pipe extension.
For a start it is much smaller than you think or looks in adverts. So the cup at the top, which you put next to your body is only a couple of inches long and not as wide. This means that as the stream moves you have to move the Shewee around to catch it! Something I was very bad at, resulting in very wet clothes, floor etc The problem being that you have to miss very little to cause a mess you can't clear up because of hip.
If anyone has succeeded in using this contraption I would be interested to hear how. My advice is it is easier and better for muscles to use a stand to steady yourself on and off of toilet.
Let me know if you decide to go for Shewee and give me some instruction if you succeed.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Ah interesting! I think I'll order the peebols and see how I get on. We go camping in the summer, so might be handy then too. Thanks
Ooh, didn't know Boots have them - will ask in town later. Thanks Alice
I did wonder if that might be the case, Lyn! I've ordered the Peebols so I'll let you know how I get on! Oh my, so looking forward to post-op - NOT! Just ordered lots of books online to keep me busy post-op. Thanks for the info! x
I'm not looking forward to it either Abby! Would be really interested to hear how you get on with the peebol. I have never heard of it. The thing is we are all different. One of my daughters can wee standing up with a steady stream. The other, like me tends to zig zag if you know what I mean! Oh the indignity of it all. Tena lady light panty liners might be the way to go just to stay fresh on those hobble too slowly to the loo days!!
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Abby, I had no trouble using my shewee, as long as you keep it firmly against your body you should have no problems. I certainly never had to move it around and have used mine dozens of times with perfect results each time. I was quite surprised at how easy it was. Maybe Lyn wasn't holding it firmly enough. Gillian
Oh no, the slow decline to incontinence pads 😂 !
Oh cheers Gillian. I guess we're all different x
Thanks! I was trying to avoid that thought! I was going more for the very slim panty liner for freshness track.
I tried every which way Gillian! The cup at the top is just too small.
Oh my what girlie talk this is! Ha ha ha!!! Think the tena or other brand for incontinence will be more effective than pany liners. ........
Oh my goodness! , laughing so much at this thread might have to take my own advice about incontinence products..... You boys have it do easy! Ha ha ha!
Absolutely agree jane. But for the sake of our dignity let's call Incontinence wear, 'slim panty liners'. The sort younger ladies wear anticipating an exciting night out!
No incontinence pads here!

😂😂😂 You have to laugh really - or you'd cry! X
NO! No laughing until the Tena lady in place!
I agree Abby.
