Investing in a pee funnel. It just seems it'd be quicker to us, in the portos - and less removal of costuming. Just wiggle it in there and do it standing up.

Last year was miserable for me...no portos around when I had to go and I don't know about you but when I have to pee it' is hard to run when you finally do see the portos.... thanks for the recommendations Mon, 11 May 2009 05:19:49 GMT http://burningwoman.tribe.net/thread/42c38a81-245c-49e1-8b6a-8dc0319aa076#f24fbb1c-37b9-441b-8019-32e7a9137463 Lumina 2009-05-11T05:19:49Z http://burningwoman.tribe.net/thread/42c38a81-245c-49e1-8b6a-8dc0319aa076#c3ed16ef-9d15-4983-bbd4-a149a1e662d0 Last year I home-made a version of the Pmate from plastic notebooks & heavy duty packing tape from the dollar store.

I like that it collapses and once you get the hang of the "seal", it works like a charm. I keep it in the car for road trip emergencies all year. In my tent, I use a wide-mouthed Folgers coffee container so I don't have to use an extra piece of equipment (pee funnel). Plus is has an "aroma-seal" lid ;) If you get a pee funnel, use it a few times at home for practice before taking it to the playa. There's a trick to getting the right positioning and flow rate, or it may back up and overflow :P Tue, 05 May 2009 17:58:20 GMT http://burningwoman.tribe.net/thread/42c38a81-245c-49e1-8b6a-8dc0319aa076#e732f8dd-b199-41ab-91f8-e537e80106d5 spork 2009-05-05T17:58:20Z http://burningwoman.tribe.net/thread/42c38a81-245c-49e1-8b6a-8dc0319aa076#4c93c0a6-b2e7-44b8-9536-30a28c45c7c3 those pee funnels are really easy to make. though not at all compact or discreet. but they work well.

I'm sure there are more out there. This year, I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and get myself a one of these handy dandy urethra extenders... the question is, which one? How do they rate in terms of size, portability, ease of use? Which one has the 'it' factor for the playa?

Freshette, I think it's called? They come in handy at Burning Man when the portos are disgusting or I'm wearing a jumpsuit, but I'm always vaguely afraid of peeing too hard and soaking my pants. It's more of a "special circumstances" device for me, most of the time I'll just use the portos normally.

Had one last year, and I really liked it. It made using a pee jug sooo much easier. With a bike basket and a jug, one can be unfettered from portapotties. I use mine for backcountry skiing, too.
