Simply put, GoGirl is the way to stand up to crowded, disgusting, distant or non-existent bathrooms while traveling. It’s a female urination device (sometimes called a FUD) that allows you to urinate while standing up. It’s neat. It’s discreet. While the concept may be new to Americans, European women have used female urination devices for years. GoGirl is made with flexible, medical grade silicone. Dispose of it after use or clean and reuse as you like. The patented splash guard eliminates messing and spilling. $9.95 http://www.moriluggage.com/Prod-19-1-4467/GoGirl.htm
