Ask yourself:

• What will I be wearing?

• Do I need to carry my STP on my person?

• How stealthy/covered up do I need to be?

• Do I need to pee in into a bottle?

• Do I want to invest time to learn my pee funnel?

• What feels good to my body? Some people love rubbery pee funnels. Some people despise them. Same with troughs. What works?

• How much am I willing to spend?

Basic tips:

• If you have no idea what to get, and you can afford it, get two different kinds of pee funnel. You will almost certainly develop a preference.

• Even if you don’t buy from Amazon, read the reviews.

• Imagine holding the device. Does it seem like it could be a buddy?

• If you like how it looks, even down to color, that will help.

• Unless you plan to put a used pee funnel in your pocket or pack, get a case!

• The pee funnel has to work for you. If I rate something as “good to pee in a bottle” or “easy to pack” or whatever, and you cannot reliably use it, then that is NOT the right pee funnel for you to pee in a bottle with or pack.

The pStyle

• Affordable at $11.99

• This is easy for a beginner to use. You’re not going to squeeze it too hard, or place it wrong more than once.

• It’s very easy to clean, probably the easiest pee funnel to clean in fact.

• If you’re trying to minimize undressing, the pStyle can go in through the fly.

• Not bulky; goes in cargo pocket. Very light weight.

• Bottle-peeing definitely possible.

• Comes in multiple pretty colors, in a recycled option, and in flesh-tones. Also the cases are lovely and have a carabiner.

Tinkle Belle

• At $27.50, the Tinkle Belle costs more than other models. But it’s incredibly easy to use! It fits against the body very neatly.

• The thick, rounded back edge makes wiping easy.

• The spout folds back, making storage easy, but still giving you projection.

• There’s a glow-in-the-dark model! Perfect for night peeing.

• Easy to use with pants or to pee in a bottle.

• At 1.8 oz, it’s not the most lightweight, but if that isn’t a concern, this model is easy to carry, clean, and use.

Freshette

• Very easy to use to use while wearing pants. It’s small and easy to slip into place, but doesn’t overflow because the tube is sufficiently wide.

• Highly portable with a tube that folds back OR retracts (depending on model). Pocket-sized.

• Depending on what model you get, the tube should detach, making it easier to clean.

• You can definitely pee in bottles, and you can also order pee bags. The version on Amazon comes with them.

• Good projection on this pee funnel! The 7-inch tube is no joke.

• This is a little pricier at 23.95$, but it is extremely durable.

• This one’s common sense. If it has a tube, it will be easier. What is best will depend a lot on your logistics, but you may need to remove the extender.

• Harder pee funnels like Freshette‍ ‍might be easier here as you don’t have to worry about squeezing the funnel by accident. SuAmiga‍ ‍is the firmest of the squishy funnels. A lot will depend on how skilled you are at working with the STP in your pants.

• To be clear, you can still pee in a bottle with a trough model like pStyle or Tinkle Belle. It’s just a little more work. But if those are the stand-to-pee devices that work best for your body, then that’s the right choice.

• As stated, the Freshette pee funnel sold on Amazon comes with bags, or you can order directly from the site. However, the bags will not work if you REALLY, REALLY have to pee. The size works for an ordinary pee, not an emergency pee.

• Recovering from surgery? Gonna be in a weird position? Check out Freshette’s 36 inch tube.

• Of course the GoPee (15.99$), which can be flattened into a sheet, has to take this spot. It’s by the far the most portable.

• It’s not complex origami: the design is very clear.

• It assembles to be as long as a pStyle pee funnel, so you don’t compromise projection, and is easy to use.

• A downside: it’s very quick to fold into a funnel, but it’s still slower than just pulling out a whole device.

• The pStyle is very lightweight at .8 oz, though it does not flatten.

• The pStyle has an ultralight case option made of Dyneema, which is also water resistant.

• The smallest pee funnel is Pibella, but as discussed below, that model is love or hate. If it works for you, it is definitely ultra light!

• Are you going ULTRA, ULTRA light and don’t want to take a pee funnel at all? More power to you. Check out these front-to-back zipper pants for easy squatting: Gnara or Ziphers.

• Has to be Sanigirl ($9.99!)

• The funnels are folded for easy carrying and storage

• They can be recycled

• Kids sizes available

• So simple to use. Just hold it against your body.

• Projection is good. You won’t pee on your feet.

• I’m all for reusable products, but not everyone is. If you’re looking for one-time use, this is the way to go.

• For cold weather, see the discussion under Clothing.

• For camping, hiking, and outdoor adventures, see Outdoors.

• EllaPee ($12.99) is very easy to use and quite cheap. It won’t go through the fly, but the spout also folds back for easy storage.

• The Pee Conch‍ ‍(19.99$) is very easy to use and is highly portable. The only reason I didn’t put it under “Easiest to Use” is that it’s a little tricky to collapse again, and because you can’t put it through your zipper.

• Love/Hate: Pibella, 22.25$: so discreet and simple. You don’t have to wipe; it places directly over the urethra. However, if you get it wrong, there is pee EVERYWHERE. I find people “get” this one or don’t. But if they do, they love it!

• This really disappointed me. The two big names, SheWee and GoGirl, the ones women are most likely to try for the first time, were the hardest to use and least reliable.

• SheWee Extreme is very hard to learn, and I still can’t use it reliably… and I learned to use 15 STPs. SheWee Flex is easier, but I can’t get either to work reliably in pants. Sure, I could keep trying, but why? There are so many other equally discreet options. If you are looking for a discreet, hard pee funnel, get a Freshette or a pStyle.

• GoGirl isn’t hard to use if you remember not to squeeze, but it’s really flimsy and tricky to hold in place without squeezing. You can’t slide it through your zipper and you will have to completely undo you pants. Some people report having to pull their pants down. Also, the extension tube (if you get the pack that comes with an extension tube!) doesn’t connect securely. If you want a squishy pee funnel, get a Su Amiga.

• If these work for you, awesome! As for me, I’ve moved on. Even I can only pee on myself so many times.

Other Caveats

• Any of the squishy funnels (GoGirl, SuAmiga, Sunany) are difficult to work with in very tight clothing. So if that’s what you prefer to wear, try a more firm STP.

• Venus to Mars is very cheap and small, but bear in mind it’s the Amazon knockoff pStyle (it comes in the same colors— but not flesh tones). The reviews complain of overflow. An actual pStyle has a larger capacity.
