On expeditions, there are many unknown factors to be considered, e.g. weather, conditions, health, nutrition, etc. Weeks, even months beforehand, the equipment must be carefully prepared. This encompasses choosing the right gear, not too heavy, yet still warm enough. All in all, these are no simple decisions to be made by inexperienced trekkers.
It was relieving and reassuring to know that, as a woman, I had Pibella Comfort with me for urination at night in the high altitude camps – this solution fully convinced me. I had already gathered plenty of practice at home, getting accustomed to the usage of the device. First in the bathroom, later in bed. Even though it worked perfectly each time, I still decided to take an absorbent mat with me – at high altitudes I couldn‘t afford to have a wet sleeping bag at all. The appliance worked in all situations, whether in the tent, with my clothes on or in the sleeping bag.
I tested Pibella Travel on skiing tours in Switzerland. It took quite a bit of practice to urinate while standing – but as soon as you get the hang of it, it‘s a lot more comfortable than letting your trousers down in ice-cold temperatures. In addition, such „woman peeing while standing“ scenes definitely enhance the entertainment factor within the group!
Many thanks for Pibella that, even though originally designed for ill women, I, as a healthy woman, use a lot in my freetime … and it‘s also a lot of fun. I will gladly recommend the female Pibella Urinals.
