Neat, discreet and hygienic are three words that the GoGirl company uses to describe its product. This lavender-colored pee funnel is made from medical-grade silicone that’s resistant to moisture and germs, and you can also buy it in a camouflage color scheme. If you want to dispose of this after use, you can. However, this item is made to be reusable although it is not recyclable. Simply clean with soap and water after use, and allow it to air dry.
The GoGirl is made with a patented splash guard so you won’t have to deal with leakage or overflow during use. The company recommends practicing once or twice before you can expect an entirely leak-free experience. To use, hold the GoGirl against your body to form a seal. Take aim and go.
To store the GoGirl, fold it and place it into the GoGirl tube that comes with each product. It’s recommended to also keep a clean tissue inside the tube with your GoGirl.

About the Company
The GoGirl is made by a company called FemMed, Inc. They’re based in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
Final Say: Is it Worth a Go?
The GoGirl is made with a patented design that should be leak-free when used correctly. It seems that different FUDs work best depending on the body type of the user. There is a good chance this one will be leak-free and easy to use, but you can really only know if you try it.
Where Can You Buy it?
It’s a device made for women by men, and this is the greatest usability problem. It imitates penis way too much by narrowing the end. If you urinate just a little, that’s fine. But it you need to urinate a lot, this narrow end will hold the liquid too much, and it will run over the top. I’ve tested it many times in my bathtub before discover how can it be used safely. What I did, I’ve cut this narrow penis-imitating end, and added the bottle to the set. Works well for cold outhouses, and allows to urinate right in the car if there is no other option. May be you can use tube extender instead of the bottle, I didn’t try, but the narrow end has to be cut for free liquid running.
Overall, GoGirl is a great device. I have used many female urination devices, and I find GoGirl to be the most comfortable to use.
Pros: their marketing
Cons: Product itself is too narrow at end pee comes out of it’s just a slit so pee backs up and actually at the wide end still too narrow it has a lip that narrows it. It’s a bulky funnel and not convenient for any go girl to take because you have to put it back in your bag dirty, and it does not fit back in the tube that it comes in.
I’ve used the Go Girl for more than a year, and I really like it. It works fine when directions are followed. The suggestion to use thumb and middle finger to hold it is a reminder that needs to be kept in mind; when I make sure that the rear edge remains tight against my body, it works perfectly. The only thing I’ve noticed, and this is true with every device I’ve used is that you have to control your flow rate. You can overwhelm most of these devices if you are REALLY urgent and have a lot to dispense. But if you control your flow to what the device can handle; it is great. I carry it with me at all times in the glove compartment…you’d be amazed at how often it is helpful. In almost any highway between cities in the US, you will be glad you have it! You’d THINK in the US you’d never be far from a restroom…you’d be surprised!
