Ladies' P spout

.
Boys, go play with your toys, this is for ladies. Ladies, remember that time? You were out hiking / cycling / on a holiday and you really really really needed to go, but nowhere a (clean) toilet, nor bushes, nor privacy in sight... Every lady's bladder has at least one such painful memory.

You can blush about it, you can make jokes about it, but true to the no-nonsense spirit, the Dutch invented a solution. Witth the ladies' P spout, you can modestly pee in a standing position while keeping your trousers or skirt on, and without spattering on your shoes. Check it out on the p-mate website http://www.p-mate.com/eng/product.html

A disposable P spout that folds small enough to fit in a jeans' pocket or party purse is easy to make out of a used carton. It is also easy to use and 100% leak -free. It is advisable to practice with your handmade P spout at home, not because it is difficult to master, but to feel confident when you use it in a real situation outside your home.

This Instructible's design for the P spout is safer than the commercial P-mate, because it does not have any slits that might leak.

Urine is sterile
For those of you who are afraid of dirt: except in cases of kidney or urinary tract infection, fresh urine is virtually sterile, meaning it does not contain any bacteria or other disease transmitting microorganisms.

Step 1 Materials and Tools

.
1 . A printout of the P spout template
2. A carton, meaning a waxed or plastic coated box made for liquids or moist food. The thick cover of glossy magazine or laminated tab dividers will work too.
3. Pair of scissors
4. Ballpoint (no felt tip)
5. Ruler
6. Tape
7. Small plastic bag to put a used P spout in, in case there is no garbage container and you have to put the P spout back in your purse or pocket.

This is too much work, I just made one this way:
I took an empty hair spray bottle, or you may use any reasonable facsimile.must be long, made of sturdy plastic and have a small opening on one end. Just take a sharp knife and slice off the wide end, you may need to cut off some little shaving so it is smooth. That is it. I just tried it and it works great, and you do not even have to bend over just hold it up against your body at a slight angle downward, and voile. The bottle just needs to be washed and there is not tape to hold odors it is perfect. Keep a plastic bag handy for storage, I use the plastic bag that holds my paper delivery just the right size.
And if you are seen with the bottle it is just a hairspray bottle.

Great idea but I think you are doing too much work. With inspiration from your intractable, I just cut the corner from the bottom of an empty half gallon soy milk container. With the bottom corner I included the vertical seam between two sides of the container. I end up with a tapered spout that, when held up against my undercarriage, seals completely and comfortably. The spout is as long as the half gallon container is tall. Four can be cut from a single half gallon coated-paper liquid container such as soy milk, milk, or orange juice. Do not ever deposit these in a port-a-potty. They vacuum out the contents of the port-a-potty with a surprisingly narrow hose.

Hey this is great! I love it what an easy simple solution to what can be a quite nasty situation in a yucky public bathroom!
