The pStyle is a plastic device that allows women, nonbinary folks, and trans men to pee standing up without undressing. It is a simple design that works exceptionally well. Because it is made of rigid plastic, the pStyle is easily maneuvered through clothing and properly positioned. The rounded back edge is used to wipe with so there are no drips! The pStyle can be cleaned with soap and water, wet wipes, or shaken vigorously and washed at the next convenient time.
More detailed cleaning info here.
This pStyle is made in partnership with Oceanworks® out of recycled ocean plastic recovered from fishing nets, trawls, and ropes. Discarded fishing gear is the most deadly form of ocean plastic to marine life. It takes around 600 years to decompose and makes up about 10% of ocean plastic pollution.
The Oceanworks® Guarantee: Responsibly sourcing traceable, authentic and high-quality recycled plastics to keep our oceans clean. www.oceanworks.co
Please note that the pStyle works well for many adults and children. Due to the diversity of human bodies, it cannot work for ALL people. If you have concerns about the size of the pStyle and whether it would work for you, please contact us.

Maneuver the pStyle through your clothing and place it so the widest part is centered under your urethra. Check to be sure clothing is not inside the cup of the pStyle. Tilt the open end down, relax, and pee. After you finish peeing, wait a moment, then pull the pStyle slowly forward with a firm upward pressure to remove the remaining drops.
Shake vigorously or rinse with water and store in a secure place. If water is not available, wash your pStyle at the next convenient time or carry sanitary wipes. The pStyle is dishwasher safe.
Most users have success the first time they try the pStyle. For some it takes a little practice. You can perfect your technique in the shower.
Can people with physical issues or wheelchairs use the pStyle?
Many people with injuries or physical issues have great success with the pStyle. If you are on crutches, can’t sit on a public toilet after a hip replacement, or just have a hard time getting up and down due to painful knees it will be very useful.
We have heard positive reports from people who can’t use public restrooms due to chemical sensitivity or phobias and people with a frequent need to urinate due to pregnancy or illness.
People who use wheelchairs have varied success. You need to be able to get to the front of the chair and get the pStyle under your body in order for it to work.
If you have questions please contact us.
How do I avoid getting splatter on my shoes / splashback in a toilet.
Take a wide stance. Avoid peeing onto a hard surface such as asphalt or compacted dirt. Aim for a vertical surface. Aim onto a surface that is lower than your shoes.
In a toilet, alter the angle of your pee stream so that it hits the wall of the toilet/urinal at a gradual angle; the closer to 90 degrees, the worse the splashback will be. You can also lay down a piece of toilet paper and aim for that.
Check out this video on the fluid dynamics of splashback for more info.
Can I use the pStyle in a car?
Never drive and pStyle at the same time. Determined passengers may be able to pull it off. Best practice is to find a safe place to pull over and use the pStyle while the vehicle is not in motion.
I’m having trouble using the pStyle. What should I do?
First re-read the instructions. You may not be placing the pStyle far back enough. The ideal spot for the back end is just forward of the perineum. Make sure you are tilting it downward and not tipping it to the side. Check to see that clothing is not inside the cup.
If you are still having trouble you are welcome to contact us. with questions. We will try our best to help you figure out how to have success.
Who uses the pStyle?
While women are the primary users they are not the only ones who benefit. Everyone wins when someone close to them has an easier time peeing. Non Binary folks and trans men might use the pStyle. Cis gendered men might use a pStyle if they have a medical condition that interferes with their ability to stand up and pee.
Can children use the pStyle?
We have had reports of successful pStyle use from parents of children as young as three. Practice in the shower is recommended.

Recycled Plastic pStyle
I practiced with this in my bathroom, and it was great not having to “bare it all” to empty my bladder. It’s going to make long hikes way less stressful! Oh—and nothing dripped on my pants or got on my hands!

pStyle Stand to Pee
Works as advertised and as described in New York Times article. As a bird watcher, I am out for hours without access to a bathroom. I usually end up with wet pant legs or at least socks. Another PUD I tried didn't work at all. The pStyle is just great! Thank you!

Super easy to learn to use. Able to enjoy touring the California deserts knowing I could easily pee when I needed.

This is my 10th one!!!
I love pStyles. I have purchased so many because I like to have one in my car, my purse, my foul weather bag, my day pack, my travel toiletries bag, I've given 3 away, and I’ve lost a couple. Definitely get the case- totally worth it. I work in the field a lot, I drive a lot, and I have a frequent need to pee, so my pStyles is a must anytime I leave the house. I talk it up to any and all females, as this tool is a life changer if you have bad knees, work a lot in areas with no bathroom, or have bladder issues. Oh, and it’s AWESOME in a concert/stadium sized venue, portapotty or airplane bathroom. No longer do I have to squat in a portapotty, sometimes with my face in the urinal- now I use the urinal and dont even have to deal with the toilet part!!!! And if you’re in a public restroom, and someone rudely peed on the seat, if your pStyle is in your purse, you’re stoked!!! Gotta love something that’s taking plastic out of oceans, thank you!!!

I never hike without it now!
I purchased this for a trip I took camping out on the platforms in the Okefenokee Swamp thinking I might need it while being confined to the canoe and surrounded by water. I did not need it while in the boat but did use it when on one of the islands we camped on. It worked so well that I wanted to tell every woman I came in contact with afterwards. I purchased a couple more to give to my future daughter in law and to a sister. It's firm structure works great at wiping yourself dry and just a shake or two helps get rid of any moisture remaining. I usually have a water bottle where I can pour a bit to help rinse it off quickly. The well made cloth bag is cotton and feels like it will wash easily. The carabiner allows you to hang it on any number of things easily. No more dripping dry! (which usually doesn't work too well anyway!) I wish I had known about his years ago. A must have for a woman that likes to be outside away from certain amenities. I highly recommend this product.

Overflow problem
As I always do, I brought pStyles for every woman on my birding trip, this time to the remote islands of West Papua. All were very happy to get them, but one woman with a very strong urine stream, especially when she really needed to go, had the base of the pStyle overflow before it could all run out the end. It never had been a problem for me, but something for you to think about. Maybe a special extra-deep model? Otherwise, I thank you every day for my pStyle!

Fullfilled Lifelong Dream of Peeing Standing Up
I really love this product! I bought a mesh pouch to attach to my pack with a retractable line so the pee funnel and kula cloth are accesable without taking my pack off. A wide stance is key but through some trial and error I believe anyone can learn to use the pStyle! I work in construction so I also use this off-trail at jobsites so I dont have to touch gross portapottys.

I. P. Freely (& save the turtles, too!)
Proudly purchased my third pStyle today, this time in recycled ocean plastics! I discovered this device a couple decades ago & don’t go backpacking/dirtbiking/on roadtrips/to the lake without it! I’ve tried other brands with disastrous results (re: overalls) & can say with confidence that pStyle has the most comfortable & foolproof design out there. It’s so good that I actually passed my first one (clean) on to a friend headed cross-country solo. I purchased a travel pouch with my second & it’s as functional as it is cute- I usually clip it to a strap on whatever bag I’m taking on adventures for quick access. Recently “updated” my system & put it in a zipper bag I failed to put back in my boat bag & found myself peeing off the boat in the most undignified way. Came home & ordered my third that night. I’ll not be caught without my pStyle again. One more time for the people in the back- using the pStyle is so discreet that my boyfriend is jealous of how freely I pee.
