TLL Adult Review: P Style

Oct

Hot:

tll-approved The P Style is not a sex toy. But it’s awesome! I’d seen these before but never got around to trying them because I didn’t know if it’d work for me. Babeland offered to let me review it and I jumped at the chance. I’ve always told anyone who will listen that the first thing I’d do if I woke up and found that I had a penis would be to pee on things. Cop cars, fresh snow, random buildings, you name it. How cool would that be? Admittedly, not so cool if you got arrested for it, and I’ll be honest: I haven’t peed on any cop cars with the P Style, but I’ve peed with it a few times in the shower and once or twice outside the shower.

Basics

pstyle The P Style is made of hard plastic and is available in multiple colors, which will vary (you don’t get to choose), and mine is orange. It’s a Stand to Pee device, or STP, and is designed for female to male trans folks and anyone else who wants to pee standing. Being made of hard plastic, it’s able to be completely sterilized with antibacterial soap or by rinsing with a mild bleach spray/solution and then water. I’m pleasantly surprised to report that each time I’ve used this, I have managed to not pee all over myself. In fact, it’s worked completely perfectly each and every time.

How to Pee (with the P Style)

1. Unzip your loose — but not MC Hammer-loose — pants (MC Hammer pants are not going to help you break it down, even if it is Hammer Time. They’ll just fall to your ankles and then you really won’t be able to touch this). 2. If you have a fly in your undies, all the better, but if not, move your undies to the side or push them down a little. 3. Tuck the cup end between your legs, so it presses against your vulva, so that the back lip is well beyond your urethra (where the pee comes from). 4. Pee. 5. When you’re done peeing, lean forwards and make sure all the pee has left the P Style, just because depending on how you stand, some can stay in it. 6. Pull the P Style forwards, kind of dragging it along your vulva to catch any drips, and you’re done. 7. Shake it off if you don’t have access to a sink, or wash with soap and water, and slip it into a ziploc bag and toss it into your bag. Voila!

Story Time!

My mom helped with this review. She’s been having trouble with her knees lately and it’s been really bad these last few days. I was walking through the house today and she said as she headed in to pee how much it hurts her knees to sit down on the toilet because our bathroom is awkward and there’s nothing to hold on to when you sit and stand. I idly said that I had in my possession a thing to let you pee standing. She maybe thought I was being glib (or perhaps she imagines I make a lot of this shit up), because as I walked by again she made another similar comment, so I repeated myself, and said, “Mom, there’s this thing called a P Style I got from Babeland. It lets you pee standing. I have it upstairs.” She said, “Seriously? Oh, for God’s sake, bring it down.”

And so I did. I had, naturally, cleaned it after I used it but we cleaned it off with an anti-bacterial solution first, and she’s been using it this evening with no shower practice and has had no problems at all whatsoever. So my random fear of peeing on myself? Nonsensical. The first time she tried it she said she had trouble telling herself everything would be okay if she peed when she wasn’t sitting (which I do each and every time I use it) but the moment passed and everything came out okay, if you know what I mean. No trouble aiming, no mess, no problems.

The moral of the story is if you have trouble with your joints and sitting on the toilet is painful some days, YOU MUST BUY A P STYLE IMMEDIATELY. At the time of this review, it’s just $12, and my mom said she’s going to be buying one ASAP, either for herself or for me, if she ends up stealing mine. She agrees with me that the hard plastic makes the whole idea work without a hitch and a softer product would be a terrible idea. She’s really excited about the prospect of using the P Style camping and on long hikes in the woods (my mom hikes a lot). And we both really want to write our names in the snow.

Notes

pstyles This is one arena where I think being a big girl is actually handy. The fact that my thighs touch each other meant that the P Style was able to nestle in place without me having to hold it there. The P Style is a good size, overall, and it’s narrow enough that I think smaller girls won’t find its too wide to cup their anatomy comfortably, but you skinny gals might need to hold it in place a little. The P Style doesn’t cause more splash than I imagine pee does coming out of a penis.

They say you can carry it in your pocket or whatever, but it’s hard plastic, so someone is bound to ask you what’s in your pocket, at which point you might just want to tell them how happy you are to see them, if you catch my drift. This is gonna be easily carried in a messenger bag, purse, backpack, or similar tote bag item. I’d only put it in a pocket if I was, for example, rushing from my bookbag, tucking it in a pocket, on the way to a tree I was planning to pee on.

This would be great for camping, which I do frequently, or for hiking when there aren’t really accessible bathrooms. Other ideal uses would be outdoor concerts where the option is porta-potties, busy events where the women’s line is a bazillion miles long and there’s ONE person in the men’s room and you want to dash in and out without having to sit or squat. It would be perfect for someone with knee problems who finds it painful to sit on the toilet and get back up again. It’s gonna be perfect for transmen who really need a way to stand and pee. I imagine it’ll probably be a little awkward to whip it out if you’re trying to pass at the urinal in the men’s room, because if someone looks, it’s obviously not a penis (though there ARE devices that let you pee standing and look like a penis, but they’re pricy). If I were going at it that way, I’d have it in a pocket, go into a stall and do my thing because what it would allow you to do is pee in a stall with your feet facing the toilet, so anyone who’s rude enough to look sees you facing the right way.

Additional Notes

I forget how I decided to rate things, but I give the P Style a perfect 10. Flawless use from the word go, as easy for me as my mom, who’s in her 50’s. This is truly an incredibly useful item, and a freaking bargain at the price. If you want to pee on things, buy a P Style. If you sometimes have sore joints, buy a P Style. If you hike and camp, buy a P Style. You won’t regret this purchase, because it’s freaking awesome to pee standing up. Head on over to Babeland to pick one up!
