The Stand Up is marketed as a “cute” triangular pee funnel that’s got a hot pink color and silver lettering. This female urinary device was created by a Stanford graduate so that women could experience the convenience of peeing while standing up. To use this item, unfold the top, squeeze the sides to pop it open into a funnel shape, hold it in place and go. When you’re done, simply throw it away. The Stand Up is biodegradable.
This item is being heavily marketed to music festival attendees who would rather not sit on a disgusting porta potty. The founder of the company admits this isn’t the first item of its kind, but she’s hoping it’s the first one that will go mainstream due to its stylish kite-shaped design.

About the Company
The Stand Up is a startup company that’s based in San Francisco, CA.
Final Say: Is it Worth a Go?
The owner of the Stand Up company seems to be doing a good job convincing music-festival goers that this is a smart addition to their purse or pocket.
The cute design and small shape do make it easy to carry, and it probably wouldn’t be as embarrassing to have this item fall out of your bag in front of people. It’s a cute and functional choice for fashion forward women.
Where Can You Buy it?
Pros: It’s cute – origami looking and biodegradable.
Cons: bad design. The end where pee comes out is a tiny little triangle so pee overflows onto clothes below. It’s too small so it doesn’t allow pee to flow away far enough from your body to go into a portapotty.
