About Me

I’m Maz! This website is my personal project. I do not make any money from it. I am not a doctor or device designer; my only qualifications are that I have tried all of the STPs listed on this site, documented my experience, and read online reviews by other people as well.

I made this site for several reasons.

First, because this is the site I wanted when I was figuring out my first STPs. I’m hoping I can help someone else!

Second, because no one (in my community) is talking about STPs! I’d like to see STPs become better-known and more casually used.

Finally, because I came across a term, originally used by the Victorians, which is “urinary leash.” The Victorians were referring to the fact that the lack of public restrooms for women limited female ability to travel; the term is now used to describe any situation where ability to pee limits behavior. I realized that not only could I identify times in my life where I had felt that “leash,” but I could think of other people who had too, and that we had just accepted it as “the way things are.”

But who wants to be on a leash? I went on my own STP journey and cut that cord. I’m here to spread the word!

My hope is that you find an STP that works for you and it cuts your own urinary leash. Maybe you can hike longer, or camp farther out. Maybe you’ll stop dehydrating yourself on road trips or other expeditions. If you’re a trans man, maybe you’ll feel more safe and confident using the men’s restroom. Whatever problem an STP solves for you, I hope it brings you freedom, even if it’s just freedom from wet feet.

So carry on, be free, and stand up for yourself!
