ALWAYS read your pee funnel’s instructions to see how it specifically should be cleaned.

But in general, basic soap and water is all you need to clean a pee funnel, and the Pibella can be boiled.

When cleaning, focus especially on the back of the stand-to-pee device, the part that hits your perineum (“taint”). But obviously clean everywhere.

If your pee funnel has a tube that can be removed, detach it to clean.

Most pee funnel makers assume that if you need to use a stand-to-pee device, you won’t be near a bathroom with soap and water. Most pee funnels are designed to be repel liquid and be shaken dry. If you have a water bottle, pouring water over it can be a good measure, as can carrying Wet Wipes.

Look into your heart and decide how easy-to-clean you need your pee funnel to be. A Venus to Mars or a pStyle takes seconds with a Wet Wipe; a large funnel with a tube is a little harder to clean on the go.

In a pinch, remember the bits to focus on are the bits that touch your body. The whole thing doesn’t necessarily have to be sterilized in the field.

If you can’t rinse your pee funnel between uses, be aware that a plastic pouch will develop a stank. A washable fabric pouch is easier to keep clean. You can also keep a stand-to-pee device tied in a bandana for convenience. Many stand to pee makers sell cloth pouches with carabiners, and some pee funnels come with a pouch. Kula Cloth makes an antimicrobial pouch specifically for pee funnels.

One pStyle user shared with me that after a long trek, she tosses her pStyle case, with the pStyle in it, into the washing machine. Check to see if your device is up to that!

Does it feel weird or dirty to reuse a pee funnel without washing it in a sink? Remember that you probably wear the same underwear all day!

If, for whatever reason, you’re grossed out by reusing a pee funnel or concerned about keeping it clean, consider a disposable funnel!

Sanigirl is a great option—see my review on the Reviews Page.

Remember to dispose of these responsibly. If you’re using them in locations without a place to throw them away, carry a designated bag. Please don’t litter!
