The female hiker often has to find a secluded spot and has to wander quite a distance to find a peeing sanctuary. She would be on high alert in case a wandering hiker catches her literally with her pants down which would result in a highly awkward and embarrassing situation.
Squatting to pee in the tropics is also a very irritating experience as dozens of mosquitoes suddenly swarm towards the exposed buttocks for a delicious meal. This and many other reasons, may dissuade a female from the wonderful experience of going on a hiking and camping trip.
While shopping online, I found a device which can solve this toilet problem. This device comes in disposable and non-disposable forms and allows the female hiker to pee while standing. It is the perfect outdoor sanitary device that allows the female hiker decency and convenience.
The non-disposable form is called the Freshette and retails on mountaingear.com for US$19.95.


Other designs are available such as the Urinelle, SaniCone and the Lafemme which is made from biodegradable paper and can be flushed away together with in the toilet whereas the P-mate cannot.
