Women’s needs are different whether they are at home or in a war zone. Some things just don’t change with location. And for deployed women, taking a simple pee is more than an inconvenience; it becomes a health and safety issue.
“Urinating in a field environment is sometimes an unpleasant, difficult, time-consuming, and dangerous task for women. To obtain privacy may require the woman to separate from the unit, placing herself in some degree of danger. Undressing sufficiently to urinate without soiling her clothing and then redressing usually requires many minutes. Balancing while squatting to urinate is usually not a practiced skill, and usually requires her to lay down her weapon. Using a fallen log or rock for support is sometimes worse than squatting. Even when sitting-position field latrines are available, they often are no bargain as far as cleanliness, odor, or comfort are concerned. The point is: urinating in the field environment is a function most women seek to avoid or minimize to the greatest extent that is physiologically possible.
The primary means by which women avoid this is to not drink any liquids. This can be very effective in limiting urination as it rather quickly leads to dehydration. There are three problems:
* Physical and mental health in the field depend on remaining well-hydrated.
* Physical performance suffers in the presence of dehydration.
* Urinary tract infections are much more common among poorly-hydrated women.”
There is a viable and inexpensive solution to this dilemma - the P-mate. P-mates are disposable, cardboard devices which enable women to stand up and pee, without baring her body to the world. There is no need to undress, they can be folded to fit in a baggie, then slipped into a pocket for easy transport.
Don’t you think every care package that goes out to our female troops should include a pack of P-mates?
