Using Shewee
The flow of your urine is directed away from you and your shoes by a cleverly angled outlet pipe.
To urinate in the new and easy way, follow these simple steps…
- Undo pants. Pull down the front of your panties or push to one side and place Shewee securely against your body. Click the image for more detail;
- Direct outlet pipe away from body and out of pants. Ensure Shewee is positioned in an effective and comfortable position. Aim urine to a suitable place; into a toilet, a Shewee Absorbent Pouch or away from your feet.
- Once relieved, pull funnel away and use to wipe any final drips. Shake funnel. Replace in re-sealable bag.
- Throw away or save for reusing another time.
NB: Practice with Shewee in your shower to find the best position for you. (On leaving the body, urine is sterile). You will soon feel confident to stand up and take control!
Shewee is made of plastic and can be reused as many times as you desire, with or without washing it in between uses. Just store it in the re-sealable bag that comes with it free!
If you would like to wash the Shewee, once you get home the Shewee can go in the washing machine with your panties or be washed by hand in warm soapy water.
If you are reusing the Shewee to give urine samples, the Shewee can be sterilized in an Autoclave, in the microwave or boiled.
The plastic withstands temperatures up to 120 Degrees Celsius and detergents including bleach.
We doubt you'll need them, but here are some very detailed tips!
Make sure the Shewee is held in the correct position by not pushing the Shewee tightly against the body. Shewee should be used by being held outside the body at all times. We know it is automatic to hold it tightly against the body - for fear of leakage, however, if you can hold the Shewee with almost 1mm between it and the labia majora, this will ensure your body does not 'fill' the Shewee – therefore leaving more room for the urine to pass freely.
Another tip is to stand in the shower or bath (urine is sterile) and make sure the back of the Shewee (pointy end) is held against the perineum but that the top front section of the funnel entrance is away from the body (labia majora) by about 1mm. You should be able to see the urine going into the funnel and then out of the outlet pipe. If you use it like this – so you can see the urine come out of your body and into the funnel- you will be able to experiment the best position for you. This will also help you notice that however hard/fast you urinate - it will not ‘fill up’! Also try holding the Shewee under a full flowing tap and experiment with the angle you need to hold it to make it work best for you.
