Here comes a stand up product for women
Here's one from the "I'm not making this up" file. If a Broomfield company has its way, men will no longer have exclusive rights to pee standing up.
Newly launched Go Your Way last week announced it has reached an agreement with Joe Product Promotions of London to become the sole U.S. distributor for P-Mate, which apparently frees women from the awkward task of squatting when there's no toilet in sight.
"This is a revolutionary product that has taken Europe by storm," said Karen Diamond, president of GoYour Way. "It allows women to pee standing up, just like the boys, giving a whole new slant on equal rights for women. It can easily fit into your pocket or handbag, so it goes with you wherever you go."
Diamond describes P-Mate as a boat-shaped device made of waterproof cardboard. Even she admits that the concept is a bit difficult to get used to. She laughed when a friend introduced her to the product.
According to a release by the company, P-Mate is designed to be used when camping or hiking, or when a public toilet is simply too filthy to sit on.
The company plans to sell P-Mate at various retail outlets and through its website at www.goyourway.net.
