Posted on 08. Aug, 2010 by admin in Technology
W-pee-C, did you guess that? It is a ‘Shewee’ a portable female device for urination.
Cambridgeshire police force is trying out the W-pee-C urination gadget that can assist women urinate standing. The funnel like device is designed so a woman can urinate without having to remove her clothes.
The Shewee is priced at £7.50, and the Cambridgeshire police want to try if the Shewee will be useful for their own female police whose strength is about 380. The portable device is intended for a trial when the female officers go on a patrol. However, initial reports are that there isn’t a need for such a gadget, but the police force of Cambridgeshire intends to invest £3,000 in buying the ‘Shewees’ for all its female officers force so it becomes easy for them when they go on patrol.
The inventor of Shewee, 33-year-old Samantha Fountain presented the design during 2005 on BBC Dragon Den series, but had failed to secure investment on that. Shewee comes in 5 colors and had been already popular with hikers, pregnant women, etc.
Shewee is a large funnel-like tube and a woman can relieve her bladder while still standing. The tube; however, when detracted folds like wristband-looking thing. To use the Shewee, user should unfold it and applied to her genital. The urinate is allowed to flow through the tube, Shewee is then washed and then stored.
Bound to be a sell out!!! Will undoubtedly spur competition to see who can now pee furthest.
Which pee brain decided to blow three grand on this gem?
I doubt women carrying a pee gadget in their bags, quite an embarrassing thing to wear, wash, fold and carry! Certain things should be left natural
