  3. I am the queen of running “pit stops!” I think “Go Girl” might be one of the best inventions ever! I would rock that t-shirt with pride!!!

  5. I don’t need this because I’ve NEVER peed outside. But my cousin is a crazy hiker lady and she’s gone on month-long trips that require lots of outdoor bathrooming. This would be PERFECT for her!!

  6. Outside of my work location is a big redwood tree that screams “go girl” and occasionally I’ve gone.

  7. Moving to colorado and the mountains, there are a ton of places! Fishing, hiking, etc.
    The last time I went outside? Hmm…I think the last time was when I was driving on a long, 2 lane highway that didn’t have a rest stop for miles and miles. Did I mention it was at night? Here I was by my self, squating off the side of the road (cause dark + alone is scary!) hoping and praying no one would drive by and see my white naked butt! Definately could have used a go girl right about then! lol.

  8. I did a stint with The Nature Conservancy on Ft Hood monitoring an endangered bird species. Hours upon hours out in the fields chasing birds. Peeing consisted of hoping that scrawny shrub would hide you from any soldier who happened to be passing by. The Go Girl would have been a life-saver!

    Now, I’d use it hiking in the Arizona mountains. Better than risking a rattlesnake bite on the tush!

  9. I’m not much of an outdoor person but I would keep it in my purse always. You never know when you might need it. I saw these at the women’s show/expo last year here in Michigan. Genius idea! If I won I might use it in public restrooms, then you don’t have to worry about squatting or covering the seat!

  10. The last time I went potty outside was last fall during a hiking trip – we were about 3/4 mile away from our destination that had a real potty, but there was no way I was going to make it. I had to duck off the trail and assume the position. Luckily, I had tissues in my pack but I was still paranoid that I would be seen by my friends. Having a Go Girl sure would have helped that day!

  11. I do lots of hiking and am well…um…aquainted with the outdoors. I would definitely like this for the many outdoor music festival I go to, though. There are never enough porta-potties and the ones that are there are pretty horrid by the end of it all. Haveing an emergency excape would be very sweet indeed!

  12. After having 3 kids, let’s just say that “holding it in” is a NEGATIVE over here for me now! :o) I just completed my first 5k with a 10K next and half marathon scheduled too! This would be great for the long run..LOL Thanks for the opportunity!

  13. Hunni and I do a ton of biking and walking and hiking in the nice weather and I would definitely put it in my back pack. I’ve had an interesting experience with a hole next to the tree at the trail.

  14. The retreat center in the mountains where I met my fiance has some gorgeous hiking. But I was always afraid to take the longer ones, in part because bathroom facilities only existed at the hiking destinations, not in-between. This would be perfect for me!

  15. OMG! So, I’m 25 years old and have never been camping. Ever. But I’ve committed to a trip this coming September, and I’m terrified!

    I don’t know how to pee in the wilderness, and I totally need this!

  16. Ever since I first saw these on here, I wanted them for skiing. I ski with a bunch of boys who just go back into the trees to go, and I always have to go to the lodge, take off my skis, go inside and take off my gear, put it back on, etc. It’s a 20 minute ordeal to stop and go pee. I would love to be able to just go back into the woods like the boys.
    Last time I actually peed outside, it wasn’t in the wilderness. I was waiting outside a bar for some friends, and all the bars were closing. I had to go, so I had a friend keep watch while I crouched next to a dumpster behind the bar. Classy. I wouldn’t have minded a GoGirl then.

  17. I am so envious of males for their ability to pee standing up! I take advantage of this opportunity in the shower sometimes (TMI?). Anyway, I often go camping with my husband and others and always find it awkward to squat. I hate the potential mess that comes with it! I would use my go girl all the time! Especially for camping and avoiding sitting on porta-potties. I hate those things.

  18. I would definitely use this if I was on a long hike in the middle of no where and there wasn’t an outhouse in site. (Even then, I might use it instead of the outhouse!). Trying to pee outside in the woods while not falling over is such a pain, this little thing will make life so much easier!!

  19. That would be great on long road trips where there are no decent bathrooms. I live in a household with all males and I’m so jealous when they can hop out and pee on the side of the road. I’m sure I would find a bush or something for privacy, but it would be great to not be bouncing around trying to hold it until we get to a restroom. The last time I remember going outside was when I was around 8 years old and Mom had me sit on a log. It didn’t turn out well ;(

  20. interesting. my first thought was ew. but i could see it’s usefulness… definitely peepeepottied carefully in the woods 🙂 i’m doing some traveling this summer, so I think it would definitely come in handy!

  21. Have a great time in the conference!

    I have needed a gogogadget like GoGirl waaaaay too often, as the urge OFTEN hits about a mile out from the house on a scheduled, 5, 6,7, even 10 mile run. *sigh* My poor neighbors are probably very confused by the sight of my legs running through the woods to find a “hidden” area to peepeepotty.

    So I could definitely use this on my training runs, to say the least!

  22. I like to walk or run on a trail that starts near my house and runs along the side of a hill overlooking the Hudson River. It’s a beautiful trail and I enjoy the views of nature, but it’s also not quite secluded enough for a full on squatting type outdoor peepeepotty experience (like I used to do all the time as a little girl growing up in the boondocks of North Texas). It is, however, far from any convenient public restroom once I get out on it. So many’s a time that I’ve had to hurry back home rather than finish an enjoyable trail run. Perhaps a GoGirl product would help in that situation. It would sure be nice to be able to go farther without having to turn back for the call of nature!

  23. Camping with hubby, son, brother & his family. Sister-in-law and I just used the froggy potty we brought for the kids. Worked fine at night, but in the morning, my sister-in-law thought it would be more private if she took it down by the lake. Sure, people in the campground couldn’t see her, but the people going by in the boat might have wondered . . .

  25. Oh gosh, I run/bike around a couple of lakes here. Lets just say if a septic pit was mixed with a mud puddle…you would get a pretty good idea of the restroom facilities.

    I have dodged hornets, no toilet paper, no stall doors, questionable toilet seat arrangements and nooooooooo soap to wash my hands (hurray for antibacterial gel!!)

    GoGirl is a genius concept.

  26. I am planning a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon this spring, and those little ladies would really come in handy…pun intended!

  29. since I’m the mom of many boys…I’m gonna go with sporting events. Mostly baseball. There are many many port-a-potties involved in youth baseball. If I had Go Girls I would not have to touch a nasty port-a-potty seat again. Please for the love of all that is holy save me from the port-a-potty seat!
    Plus, I freaking LOVE the shirt you had on in a picture you tweeted today. The black racer back – it’s hawt! Gotta have it

  30. I have the worst time holding it! I can so use – I too live in a house of males and they just don’t understand! This might help reduce the near accidents.

  31. Miz, I am so sad I won’t get the opportunity to meet you at FitBloggin.

    Okay, seriously, I needed a GoGirl today – I walked 10 miles and the later part of that was on a scenic trail around Lake Michigan. It was beautiful, but no potties. I was panicking. I gave thought to crouching behind a tree but, because of the nice weather, the trail was filled with people. Fortunately I was able to hold it until I got home but who knows if I will be so lucky next time.

    BTW, I would keep my Go Girl in my walking pack (fanny pack) and I would rock my Go Girl shirt too!

    🙂

    Have a great time!

  32. I’ll be in the California desert next month helping with the Baker to Vegas, a 120-mile relay race. The closest porta-potty will be a mile away. Definitely could use the GoGirl there. Not to mention camping and an occasional L.A. traffic jam. And I love the Tornado’s “peepeepottied” – great new word!

  34. During parade season (Mardi Gras), there is no place to go except the nasty and infrequent port-o-potties.

    These would be lifesavers.

  35. I would use this in 7 weeks from now when I attempt to not only run my first half marathon in 6 yrs, but also my first half marathon pregnant (and we all know how over active the kidneys are of a pregnant woman)….

    I’m not sure where I would carry it during the race, but it sure would come in handy 🙂

  37. Where would I NOT use this??? I’m a traveler and a hiker, have hiked the Inca trail, spent 5 weeks in China, couple different trips though Indonesia and don’t plan to stop any time soon. This is the perfect product for my type of adventures.

  39. I LOVE the idea of a Go Girl. If I had one I would definitely use it while tailgating at football games. They have port-a-potties, but they are so gross.

  40. I could really use one of these. Our favorite hiking spot does not have any potties nearby and I have been “stuck’ a couple of times without the ability to just sprint back because my two little boys are not fond of being rushed when outside (for good reason;). i would make good use of a go-girl.

  41. Oh, and the last time I peed outside was about 1 mo postpartum when I was hiking and had no bathroom nearby and had drank waaaaaaaay too much water (well, it was August!)

  43. This would be great to put in my brief case, as I drink most of my “8 glasses” during office hours and have a 50 minute ride home on the only train line with no port-o-lets. I’ve often danced around until the other commuters have left the parking lot and then peepeepottied between the open front and open rear door of my car. Could definitely use a GoGirl for those occasions!!!
