What is a

Pee Funnel?

Definition

  • A pee funnel, or stand-to-pee device (STP), is a small, simple tool that allows someone to pee standing up who otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

  • It might be a literal funnel, it might be a taco-shape, it might even be a straw.

  • Most are small enough to fit in a pocket or fanny pack; slightly larger ones can go in a purse or backpack. The pStyle shown above is only 7.5 inches.

The 7 Most Common Pee Funnel Questions

    • A pee funnel is also called an FUD (female urination device) or an STP (stand-to-pee device).

    • The terms “pee funnel” and “stand-to-pee device” (STP) are used interchangeably on this site.

    • “Female Urination Device” (FUD) is a popular term right now. I do not use that term here because not everyone who uses pee funnels is female.

    • Personal Urination Device (PUD) is also sometimes used and means the same thing.

  • No! That’s one of the perks. Most pee funnels are designed to go in your pants. In fact, for some plastic pee funnels, like the pStyle, you can just slide the device through your fly. The exception would be certain rubbery funnels like GoGirl or Sunany. Some people report having to pull down their pants to use those.

  • You wipe by pulling the STP/pee funnel along your private parts and away from yourself when you are done (squeegee-ing yourself).

    Some people carry a Kula Cloth in case they still feel some moisture; some people report the squeeqee method works by itself.

  • Not after a couple practices! You might the first time, but pee funnels are very clean. They keep your hands dry. And, with the exception of the Pibella, you don’t have to touch your private parts.

  • Yes! Otherwise who would use them? A pee funnel you have practiced with that works for your body will be reliable when used correctly. Choose one that meets your needs and take the time to learn it. It will serve you well!

  • Yes! The focus of this website is on standing to pee but we have a section on this: Bottles and Sitting.

    • The great outdoors! Camping, hiking, etc. No more squatting in the poison ivy and peeing on your feet. 

    • Festivals, concerts, and any large event where there are not adequate restrooms.

    • Road trips/traffic jams. If you’ve been on the road, you know there are looooong stretches without restrooms. You don’t have to have your butt hanging out by the side of the road.

    • Gender affirmation! Be yourself. 

    • The military, nuff said.

    • Just really gross bathrooms where you don’t want to touch anything.

    • Any job where you have a uniform that’s tricky or time-consuming to pull down.

    • Dealing with injuries or disabilities that make it hard to sit down and get up, or that make peeing standing up hard on your own.

    • You just want to! It’s a good skill to have and it’s fun too.
