Choosing an STP
Easiest to Use:
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.
If you’re trying to minimize undressing, the pStyle can go in through the fly.
Not bulky; goes in cargo pocket.
Bottle-peeing definitely possible.
A great deal at 10.59$
The funnel is deep and overflow is unlikely.
The spout folds back, making it very easy to put into a pocket or bag.
It’s hard to squeeze or place wrong. It can also go through the fly.
Bottle-peeing is a go!
For Bottle Peeing:
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 usually want to remove the extender.
Harder 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. It’s just a little more work.
Going Ultra Light:
Of course the GoPee (15.99$), which can be flattened into a sheet, has to take this spot. It’s by the far the most portable.
It’s not complex origami: the design is very clear.
It assembles to be as long as a pStyle, so you don’t compromise projection, and is easy to use.
A downside: it’s very quick to fold into a funnel, but it’s still slower than just pulling out a whole device.
For a More Urban Adventure:
The SheWee (16.50$), both Extreme and Flex, is small, discreet, and easy to put into a purse or pocket (once out of its case I mean— the case is a little bulky).
The projection is very good, making it useful for peeing against things.
It goes into clothing really easily.
It does take some practice, especially the SheWee Extreme, but if this is your thing, it’s worth the effort.
Love/Hate:
Pibella, 22.25$: so discreet and simple. You don’t have to wipe; it places directly over the urethra. Feels so clean.
But if you place it wrong, there is pee everywhere!
Your mileage may vary about reusing something that goes between the labia. People feel differently about this.
If that doesn’t bug you, and you are willing to put in the time, this is a great option. If.
Other Good Mentions:
Tinkle Belle is the most expensive trough model (27.50$) but is thicker than the others, projects further, and is smaller in storage due to the bendy spout. It’s a little heavier duty, but is probably one of the more durable STPs.
A lot of this is going to come down on to whether you like the funnel feeling or the trough feeling. I am not personally a funnel person, but I love the tube on the Freshette (23.95$). The Freshette is durable, storable, and directable, and has good projection. Not a bad option.
Can we just acknowledge that you can get a Venus to Mars from Amazon for 7.99$? I’ve never had a problem with Venus to Mars. It’s incredibly easy to clean and store. At that price give it try!
Squishy funnels are great to pack or put in pockets. No hard edges. If that aspect is important to you consider a squishy funnel.
If you’re not someone who carries an STP on them, but aren’t sure about a situation, slipping a Sanigirl (9.99$) in your pocket is not a bad idea. Also, if you have a kid who isn’t ready to have their own STP, the kids’ size funnel is a great option to learn on.
The Negatives
I hate to add negatives because all these STPs are good in certain ways! But to be thorough, these are concerns I personally encountered. Your mileage may vary.
The GoGirl is very thin rubber and bends out of shape very easily. The extension tube also does not attach as firmly as I would like.
On that subject, 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.
The SheWee (both Flex and Extreme) is hard to place, especially in pants. If you want to practice and master this, awesome! But my caveat would be that you have to be CONFIDENT that your STP will work every time.
The GoPee and any model with an extension tube do take a split second to put together. If speed or one-handedness is your thing, be aware.
Venus to Mars worked fine for me, but I noticed a couple on Amazon reviews mentioned overflow. Both the Pstyle and the Tinkle Belle have larger reservoirs.
For a detailed description of each STP, see the STP Device Review section. There are pictures of each individual product. It’s easier to read that first.
This section focuses on what to look for and compares different STPs. There’s a full list of links at the bottom of the page.
Questions to 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?
What feels good to my body? Some people love funnels. Some people despise them. Same with troughs. What works?
How much am I willing to spend?
Some basic advice:
If you have no idea what to get, and you can afford it, get two, maybe a funnel and a trough. 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.
The right STP for you is the one that you feel most comfortable using and which works for you consistently. Everything else is icing on the cake!
