Hey ladies, no need to sit while you pee

You are looking at a “standing pee” aid for women, so they can be as free as a man, when it comes to voiding their bladders. From the description of a folded-up paper cone, I suspect it’s something like peeing into a coffee filter. But from the very lengthy (and glowing) review I just read on Salon, it works like a charm:

I am not a scientist. I have absolutely no clue how a mere paper product can handle a full stream of lady pee and maintain its integrity, and I don’t care.
