My SweetPee: The #2 Review

Posted 02.10.2004 by Di Uhreea (410)
PoopReport recently received an email from a company called My SweetPee, which makes a reusable shield that allows women to pee without sitting or crouching on some nasty toilet seat. You pee on the taco-shaped shield, and the shield directs the pee into the toilet. If you have the reusable kind, you then wash it, spray it with the citrus cleanser (included), and fold it back into your purse.

The manufacturers of My SweetPee, however, were claiming that it could be used for poo.

As a female PoopReporter, it was my duty to test the product.


I had no problems peeing in it, but that was only half the job.

It took me a long time to attempt the deed. After a stressful and drawn-out move, I took a break from PoopReporting because my Internet provider couldn't set up the connection in the middle of the snowstorm we were having. Then it took me a long time to get to the last of those miscellaneous boxes. And also, I was a little scared to do it.

I finally unpacked the box containing My SweetPee the other day. It just happened to be one of the first ones I opened. It was the morning, I hadn't yet crapped, the kids had gone to school, and it would give me a nice break from the strenuous job of unpacking all those other boxes...

I took My SweetPee out of its cylindrical package and shuddered. Why was I so scared? This test was in the name of PoopReporting -- I should have been proud to be given this honor! What was it about shitting into a piece of plastic two feet above my toilet that worried me so much?

I carefully thought out how I was going to do this. Should I face forward so I'd have a clear view of where the device was pointed? Or should I face backwards for a more direct line to the toilet?

I decided I'd do it backwards for fear of contaminating my forward-regions while my crap rolled down the piece of blue foam. I think I had two or three cigarettes beforehand, just to make sure things were going to move smoothly and so I wouldn't suffer leg cramps while in a semi-squat over the toilet seat.

I was confident now. I had my citrus cleanser waiting on the counter and I knew about the toilet paper under the arm secret. After I prepared the toilet paper, I slowly backed up to the toilet and began to push.


With My SweetPee, it's important to take every precaution. Otherwise...

In my old house, the toilet was adjacent to the sink. In this one, it is directly across from it, so there is big mirror facing me. I looked up for a second, saw myself in this semi-squat, and started laughing because I had the guilty look of a dog shitting in a neighbor's yard. The laughter actually helped things along, and my attention was promptly brought back to the task at hand.

I could feel this was going to be a solid log -- not the squishy ones I typically have after consuming beer and hot sauce. It was coming at normal speed, and I had My SweetPee ready to facilitate the transfer from ass to water.

The tip touched foam, and then the rest of the log started to lie itself down above it. I realized my grave error: I should have let the tip land at the very base of the device so the rest could fall into the funneled area in an upward fashion. Fear washed over me as I was tried to figure out what I would do once my log came up over the top of the device.

I backed up so my butt was directly over the toilet and resigned myself to letting gravity just do its thing. The log decided to finish way over the top of My SweetPee and to tumble down onto the edge of the seat with a thud, but not before brushing my wrist with a small skid mark.

I had a few problems now: skid on wrist, shit on seat, and dirty My SweetPee in hand.

I carefully reached over and placed My SweetPee on the counter. Still standing, I wiped my butt with my left hand and tried to nudge the crap off the seat with the toilet paper. It rolled in to the water just fine, but not without leaving another skid on the seat. I almost started crying. I looked in the mirror and told myself that I could be brave and finish this like a man.

I couldn't stand the fact that there was a skid on my wrist, so I washed that first.

Thankfully, there was a facecloth by the sink and some sweet-smelling soap I had received for Christmas. I thought I'd take care of the toilet seat next, because I hate it when skids dry. They're harder to clean once they're baked on. I took the same facecloth, folded it over, and gave the seat a good wipe with it.

My next job was My SweetPee. I was so mad at it that I thought I'd just throw it in the garbage and not wash it at all, but I realized I hadn't unpacked the small garbage bin for this bathroom yet. So I took the thing and washed it thoroughly with the sweet-smelling soap. I even sprayed it with the citrus cleanser, for some reason... I guess the smell was getting to me.

Once this part of the ordeal was over and I finally got to flush the toilet, I was exhausted and not at all looking forward to bleaching the counter, the sink and the toilet. I was just lucky it didn't land on the floor!

My conclusion is that the SweetPee is appropriately named. It's great for peeing. But NOT for pooping!

When will you ever be in a situation where you can't do the full squat but could get away with a semi-squat while you reach around and catch your turd with an little piece of rubber? That just sounds wierd to me.
I get the whole letting-women-pee-standing-up thing, finally they can experience the satisfaction of writing their names in the street/snow.
But when are you ever going to need the Sweetpee for pooping? That doesn't sound like a Sweetpoo to me.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 02.10.2004

Yuh! Obviously not for pooing! It reminds me of those messy dumps where you reach back to wipe your crack and some of it misses the paper and gets on your hand. And by the way, liquid soap DOES NOT get that smell out!

GiantTurd (not verified) -- 02.10.2004

If the poop is not liquid, wouldn't an easier solution be to get a plethora of paper towels from next to the sink and poop into that? Why risk contaminating your peeing aid when any sufficiently non-porous medium would do the trick?

ThreePly (not verified) -- 02.10.2004

After viewing the pictures of said SweetPee, I had a gut feeling this wouldn't be pretty. I think the task of shitting into a piece of foam should be left up to the contortionists. But I gotta hand it to you Di (no pun intended), from your suffering, mankind may move towards a more efficient portable pooping device.

PooperGal (not verified) -- 02.10.2004

Excellent research in the name of scientific discovery, Di.

As for peeing standing up, I've always found it easy to do it from a very slight squat and letting it shoot behind (sort of retro-pee). Given a choice between a filthy gas station toilet and the Great Outdoors, peeing that way is preferable by a "long shot"!

Even pooping isn't so bad outdoors, away from the madding crowd. In Asia, toilets are for squatting over, not sitting. I figure, if Asian women can happily pee and dump that way, we should too, without artificial means.

But, My SweetPoop might be a great piece of survival gear for urbanites who need hi-tech solutions to lo-tech poop.

Poonurse (1313) -- 02.10.2004

The SweetPee is way bigger than I imagined. I would never remember to stock the disposable ones, and my purse is not big enough to stuff that huge thing in. Can you imagine going to the bank or something, opening your purse to take out your checkbook, and out pops the SweetPee, resplendently Citrus Fresh?

I will just sit to pee--no matter how disgusting the toilet, I still sit. But great, great research, Di.

daphne (3667) -- 02.10.2004

I laughed aloud reading this.

Di, you've bravely gone where no woman has gone before, you've pooped in the Jolly Green Giant's shoe horn.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 02.10.2004

Thanks everyone. I truly wanted to have a good review for the nice people at MSP but I just didn't have a good experience with the product and I couldn't see myself trying and practising to have a better time with it in the future.
Lol @ "Jolly Green Giant's shoe horn".

Justa Girl (not verified) -- 02.10.2004

I didn't realize the Sweet Pee was so huge. How daunting! You're brave, Di. And really, the outcome was better than it could have been! I shudder to think of the disasters that might have befallen you if you hadn't practiced with pee first.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 02.10.2004

I just flat pee standing up. I've never used a SweetPee to do it. I just sort of stand over the toilet and let it drop. It works great!

Commode-O Dragon (107) -- 02.10.2004

Very entertaining review, good work. I'm trying to envision what corner of the female market that the SweetPee would appeal to, and I just can't figure it out. Most women today would not want to carry that huge thing around with them, so I'm assuming the SweetPee is marketed towards obsessive-compulsive people who are so concerned about germs from toliet seats that they'd be willing to tote a roll-up sleeping pad with them to tinkle in. The problem is, anyone who's THAT concerned about germs is not gonna want to handle and store an item like the SweetPee after use, seeing that it comes in direct contact with urine, and I suppose if you wanted it to, feces. There was no mention of a carrying case, so I'm assuming you just roll it up and stuff it in your purse. I think that people who are heavily concerned about germs would be disgusted to carry the SweetPee around with them seeing that it would be coming into contact with just about everything in one's purse, pocket, or glove box. Plus just think how embarassing it would be to be standing at the sink in the ladies'room washing pee and shit off that thing with other people around! The SweetPee just seems like a solution to a problem that just creates more problems in the process.

I'll have to get one of them for my girlfriend,when we go to the racetrack she complains about the long walk to the restrooms.With Sweet Pee, she can use the bucket like i do.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 02.10.2004

MSP has disposable liners that you insert at the top. Your piss doesn't come in direct contact with the device itself - if you're careful enough!! It also comes in a ziploc baggie and you slide the citrus cleanser (which is included) down the middle after you roll it up.

Commode-O Dragon (107) -- 02.10.2004

Ah, just disregard half of what I just said then. I thought you just took a leak or poo on the sucker and then stuffed it back in your purse after hosing it off. I have a question though, how much purse room does this total package take up? I mean is it small enough to fit in descretely, or would you have to dump half your purse out to put it in?

PooperGal (not verified) -- 02.10.2004

Whatever happened to that portable pee-er for men and women that was invented in the 1920s (I think)? It was called "Motorman's Friend," and was meant to be taken on motor adventures, back in the days when motoring meant traveling on bumpy dirt roads at 25 miles an hour. There was a tin flask with a rubber tube and narrow funnel cup for men, and same flask and tube, but with a oblong shaped funnel cup for women. Women slipped the funnel end of the tube under the skirt and into the undies, where it fit neatly in the crotch. When they needed to take a whiz, they just let loose for blessed relief, and emptied the flask discreetly.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 02.10.2004

Another reason not to use the SweetPee. I don't carry a purse. I'm a no frills mountain girl (that means no make-up, hair stuff, etc.) and I just stuff my wallet into my pocket and go. I'd like to see how funny I'd look with one of those things in my jeans back pocket!

Commode-O Dragon (107) -- 02.10.2004

Poopergal, they still make stuff like that. Here's one that has an optional female adapter.

It seems to me that if you were concerned badly about peeing in public, a little bottle like that would be more sanitary and make more sense. Just go in the stall, pee in that, then pour that in the toliet, no need to aim, much less mess!

Di Uhreea (410) -- 02.10.2004

COD, I guess it's about the size of your average cell phone. Not those tiny ones though.
I just thought of something. I could sell MY SweetPee on ebay!! Or not....

daphne (3667) -- 02.10.2004

Shame on you insane wayne for visiting the animal exploitation market.
Dogs and horses should not have to shudder in their stalls if they don't run fast enough, for fear that they are slaughtered or sold for meat if they are too slow.
As nasty as the races are, I encourage you to drop and plop where you are.
No animal should ever tell another animal to go faster.
Or poop for that matter.

PooperGal (not verified) -- 02.11.2004

Commodo,
Yes, that's the one! Updated in modern, easy to clean plastic. The "Lady J" adapter probably hasn't changed much from the original "motor woman's friend"!

Commode-O Dragon (107) -- 02.13.2004

You know, Di, you probably have the most famous SweetPee in the world right now. I just searched for reviews of the SweetPee and couldn't find any other than this one. The sheer fact that you reviewed the Sweet Pee and wrote an article about it on the web's premiere poop site, that has to add some significance to the SweetPee you have.If you decide to sell it, you should include an autographed copy of your review with it, to add to the collector's value.

Lame comment!
Big Mean Turd (not verified) -- 02.13.2004

Di Uhreea, I'd have to say that you obviously have too much time on your hands, and probabally shit, to be able to sit around the house all day, making up bullshit stories, taking digitals (with a camera i paid for) of yourself shittin and pissin and then sharing it with a bunch of people.Why don't you think about getting a job? Or at least a life.

Di Uhreea (410) -- 02.13.2004

Apparently, my boyfriend (Big Mean Turd) didn't like my review!! Oh well.....
I have yet to find the pictures of myself "shittin and pissin", and yes, I do need a life!!

Great comment! +1 point
Tydirium (516) -- 02.13.2004

Wow, Big Mean Turd is a prick. Maybe you should think about getting a new boyfriend.

Great comment!
freakazoid (not verified) -- 02.22.2004

puddin girl (not verified) -- 06.10.2004

geek (not verified) -- 07.16.2004

Lame comment!
jo5555 (not verified) -- 11.22.2005

that was not written by a woman!

daphne (3667) -- 11.04.2007

I never noticed what Big Mean Turd said about good old Di. How can anyone be so mean to their sweetie? And Di is sweet. I love you Di!!!
