Enjoy Rupa's GoGirl Story & Photo:

Dear Sarah,
Thank you so much for sending the Go-Girl to 1st Medical Battalion, Alpha Company.  The girls were absolutely ecstatic to receive it, and everyone was excited to send this picture with their thanks!  Two girls are "missing" from the picture, but received theirs later that day.  I am in the back row, 5th person from the left (and right, actually - right in the middle).  We are headed out to Afghanistan and we all know that we will be depending on the Go-Girl the whole way through!

Thank you so much!!

There are not words for how proud it makes us feel to be part of your team Rupa.  The work that you ladies do is beyond that of what most can even begin to claim.  You are the pride of our great country.  Good luck, Be Safe, and Thank You for taking us along with you.

Enjoy Joy's GoGirl Story & Photo:

I am so excited about Go Girl!!  I found you while browsing on the internet for some options for an upcoming trip.
 
I am a missionary and will be heading into the jungle villages of Petén, Guatemala in a couple months. I’ve been there before and intentionally didn’t drink enough water so that I wouldn’t have to urinate in the jungle.  It is so not healthy to “hold-it” and certainly not healthy to spend day after day not hydrating properly in tropical heat and humidity.  This 10 week trip will include camping in these villages.  I’m so excited to order and try out my Go Girl before heading to Guatemala and then going with confidence that I can “go with confidence.”
 
I was looking for a female urinal, but didn’t like the lack of ability to be discrete with a large hard plastic bottle. I’m really impressed with Go Girl’s sleek and portable design and re-usability.  I’ve found exactly what I need!  Thanks Go-Girl!

Wow Joy, that is simply amazing.  We are so excited to share in all your travels and good work.  Cheers to you!  A GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt is on its way to you now.

Enjoy Amy's GoGirl Story:

I received my Go-Girl in the mail yesterday. I’ve already given it a “go” at home and found it to be very user friendly! My cousin’s wife picked one up for herself at the Minnesota State Fair and shared her clever purchase on Facebook. Of course, I immediately posted that I was seriously going to have to invest in one for myself, as I am an avid climber and spend many weekends in the great outdoors; either hanging at the base of a local crag, or hanging on the side of the rock, often for hours at a time. Her next post was fantastic news that one was in the mail on the way to me…she and my cousin felt I should have one…yes!!!
 
Last summer I climbed the east buttress of Mt. Whitney, and the Go-Girl would have been my perfect climbing companion. The most difficult part of the entire climb was figuring out how to pee on a small ledge. Unfortunately I put off going to the bathroom while I was on a bigger ledge, figuring I could go at the next belay. I was unpleasantly surprised when I was met with a considerably smaller ledge and waiting was no longer an option. My husband had to do everything for me (except pee) while I anchored in and clung to the wall. Can I just say it was no small feat! Thank goodness for wicking material, as it was impossible to avoid my pants and shoes! A Go-Girl would have made such a huge difference in that experience!
 
My husband and I are planning to climb this weekend, so I can hardly wait to use my Go-Girl on our multi-pitch climb. My “holding it until I get to the top” days are over!!!
 

We will have to go with you on your next climbing adventure Amy!  Be on the look out for a GoGirl T-shirt and GoGirl in your mail soon :)

Enjoy Lauri's GoGirl Story:

I won a couple go-girls a while back on Twitter and finally brought one along on our weekend trip to the Boundary Waters.  Love it.  I thought it would be 'messier' but was easy to wipe out and put back in the tube for next time.  So easy that I'll be putting it in my purse to carry every day!

Anyways, I just entered the quarterly contest and noticed one category that you may be missing for 'how will you use a go-girl'.  Military Women!  I used to be a loadmaster in the MN Air National Guard.  I
would have loved to have a go-girl back then!!   Basically I flew
around in the back of the C-130 cargo planes.  Our 'bathroom' was a platform with a shower curtain for privacy.  'Privacy' was certainly relative when we were hauling 90 Army guys around on the plane.  They weren't so good at checking to see if someone was using the bathroom before pulling back the curtain!

The women flyers (loadmasters, flight engineers, pilots and
navigators) wear a flight suit and the only way to use the toilet is to unzip the flight suit and drop the whole thing so we can hover over the seat (not so fun when it was a bit bumpy).  So having the curtain opened could end up to be a bit embarassing not to mention dropping our flight suit landed it on the platform which wasn't exactly the cleanest after all the guys using it.  The go-girl would allow females to keep the flight suit on, unzip it from the bottom up just like guys can, hold the go-girl with one hand and hold the curtain shut with the other.  And actually, the planes I was trained on were older than what they have here in MN and the only toilet is literally a bucket with a plastic bag in it.  Guys could open a little hatch and pee out the side of the plane, women had to squat over the bucket and even worse, whoever used the bucket had to empty it when the flight was over.
Needless to say, I never used it.

I imagine the go-girl would be a welcome addition to any women's pocket in the military!

Love your product and hope you might be able to find a bunch more customers in the military!

Lauri we are so glad that we got to go to the Boundary Waters with you.  It is so beautiful up there.  The Military is totally a market we are breaking into, thank you so much for your recommendation and your kind words.  A GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt should be on its way to you soon.

Enjoy Tina's GoGirl Story:

Wow, this is going to come in handy for my job!  I'm a stuntwoman, and there are times that I have to sit in a car, for a scene, for hours and hours on end.  A lot of the car scenes are filmed all night until the sun comes up, so I drink a lot of coffee to keep me on point.....and we all know what coffee does.  Bathrooms are sometimes miles from the set, and time is money when we are filming, so I have had to get very creative when I have to "go."  The GoGirl is going to make my life so much easier!!!  Thank you.

Seriously Tina, we are so happy that we make your VERY exciting life a little easier.  Be on the look out for a GoGirl and GoGirl T-Shirt to be headed your way.

I received your product, "GoGirl" and must tell you it's great!  There are few places in the desert a female can relieve herself - the guys can go against a fence - especially while on convoy.  Your product rocks!

Andi we are super excited to go on convoy with you and help you, um, "stand-up" to all those boys.  A t-shirt and GoGirl will be on its way to you soon.

Enjoy Melody's GoGirl Story:
 
I just happened to be "channel surfing" today, and stopped when I heard and saw your product being advertised. The description, usage and construction immediately caught my attention! The number of  times I could have used it!  Had it only been available to me over the years! Traveling down the freeway alone at night. Long road trips. A car full of kids. Hiking with guy friends. Walking miles of unending beaches and coastline. Primitive camping in the mountains and wilderness. Picnics and Family reunions in remote areas. I can't even begin to count the times that I have had to find "creative" ways to conceal myself modestly. Just so I could simply pee! Oh how I wish I had known about the GOGIRL!  But I can tell you this. I will NEVER be without one, ever again! A day won't go by, that I will be without one in my purse, backpack, totebag, glovebox, etc. It will be my constant companion from now on! I am thankful, finally there is the GOGIRL! I find it a practical and functional product, who's value far outweighs the price! I searched online for similar products, (just to do a comparison.) And there IS NO comparison! No other product comes close. I know I will be happy about choosing, (and using) the GOGIRL. I thank you, (and my bladder thanks you) from the bottom of my heart!
 
Melody we can't wait to be with you on your many adventures in the future and we are so sad we couldn't have been there in the past.  There is a GoGirl and GoGirl T-shirt on its way to you now.

Enjoy Sara's GoGirl Story

Just got back from a trip to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and my husband and I did several long hikes (6+ hours).  In the past, we'd always have to cut our trips short because, of course, I needed a bathroom break.  BUT, this time I had my Go Girl in my backpack, along with my biodegradable toilet tissue, and I was able to take care of business in the woods.  Also, when I needed water, I wasn't squeamish about drinking as much as I needed to quench my thirst because I could stop anytime I needed to without much effort at all!  THANKS for making my trip so much more enjoyable!

Sara, thank you for your great story and cheers to the great outdoors!  There is a t-shirt and GoGirl on its way to you now.

Enjoy Liddy's GoGirl Story:

Boy, was I the envy of the Iowa baseball moms!  We were watching our sons play high school baseball, eating our snacks and drinks and had to use the bathrooms during our 2-game baseball event.  The only thing available were some dirty (and nasty) pot-a-potties for the teams and fans to use.  I just happened to have my handy “GO GIRL” in my bag and was able to use the bathrooms with ease and comfort!  I showed the other baseball ladies my GO GIRL and they were all impressed!  They all wanted to get “online” and get their own baseball GO GIRL!

 
Thanks Go GIRL team for making my BASEBALL experience more pleasant!!  Go Dodgers!!

Enjoy Tabitha's GoGirl Story:

Last weekend, I went on my first (ever) camping trip with my husband, without a thought to the restroom situation. We traveled to a state park, set up our tent, and I was pleased to find a restroom within a few hundred feet of us, so I figured all would be well. It wasn't until I made my first trip to the bathroom that I realized how disgusting a public campsite restroom would be! There were actually dead bugs on the seats! Not to mention, when night fell, how those few hundred feet from our tent to the bathroom suddenly felt like a mile, with me trying to stay off the main road (cars would drive down the winding road at incredible speeds, so walking directly on the asphalt was a very dangerous idea), and yet also trying not to accidentally walk through poison ivy or trip over tree branches/rocks/wildlife. The only other option was squatting somewhere near the campsite, leaving me feeling very exposed and a likely target for insects/poison ivy/etc. So I spent the entire weekend alternating between hovering over the nasty toilet seat and squatting behind a thick cover of trees – definitely not a fun experience. My husband, however, seemed unaffected by the restroom dilemma, which I decided was definitely not fair.

So, once we returned home, I sat down at my computer and fervently researched solutions to my problem (because I refuse to allow this issue to hold me back from camping and other outdoor activities!), and came upon a few websites, including yours. I was amazed to find that someone had come up with such a wonderful idea to combat my dilemma! After careful consideration, it was down between the Go-Girl and Shewee, so I set out to read online reviews and testimonials comparing the two. Thanks to quite a few informative blogs (Mommy from the Midwest, forums on Babycenter, etc.) and customer videos, as well as your well-maintained site, Go-girl soon became the hands-down choice for me. Where the Shewee is made of stiff, hard plastic, and a slimmer base that seemed to me to be more likely to leak, your product is soft, flexible, stores discreetly, and has a much wider base, as well as a lip to keep leaks to a minimum (if at all, as I haven't yet encountered any spills or leaks), and comes in a handy storage case – I was immediately sold!

And though this many seem insignificant to other customers, I was so impressed by your youthful, modern design of packaging and branding, I had already been leaning toward your product before I ever came across any customer reviews. Many companies don't seem to realize how crucial graphic design can be, but your logo and website drew me in immediately: the fun pink colors created a sense, to me, that your product was still feminine (which is very important, I would think, considering your demographic), while still giving a playful, tomboy feel. Your name (Go-girl) is incredibly clever, and your slogan ("Don't take life sitting down") is like a rallying cry for women to take initiative and to no longer settle for a situation simply because nature didn't see fit to equip us with a means to go when we are out, enjoying outdoor sports and activities. We no longer have to feel excluded from certain activities that we really enjoy, simply because there isn't a clean restroom handy! Your use of design alone created a feeling of empowerment and inspiration in me, just by stumbling upon your website! And the fact that your product lives up to the image you present – well, that makes me a Go-girl for life! I can't thank you enough for the freedom you've given me, and for such a low price! And just three days after my first camping trip, I hold in my hands the device that will no longer allow my bladder to get in the way of having fun!

I wish you all the success in the world, as I imagine it's a bit difficult to sell this product to some women (I'm trying to convince her, but I don't think my mom is at the point that she'll even consider it), since the subject of urination is a bit taboo... But I hope the majority of your potential customers will realize that this product is far more hygienic, safer, easier, and more discreet than hovering or squatting. Thank you again!

No..THANK YOU TABITHA!  Your story is fantastic and we are so glad that we will be with you the next time you go camping: Bugs beware.  There is a GoGirl T-Shirt and GoGirl on its way to you now.

Enjoy Kathleen C's GoGirl Story:

I ran into you guys at your booth at Twin Cities Pride and proudly displayed my Go-Girl (with the printing pretty well worn off the tube) that had just returned from a trip to the Great North.  One of you suggested that I should write a testimonial about the trip, so here goes:
 
My spouse, Erica and I bought Go-Girls to use during our recent backpacking trip.  We spent a week hiking the Greenstone Ridge Trail on lovely Isle Royale in Lake Superior.  I can attest from past experience that backcountry pit toilets are somewhere between nasty and unspeakably vile.  With the Go-Girl in hand, neither of us had to actually sit on one of those to urinate for the entire week!  They also eliminated the need to squat in the tall weeds off the trail, which minimizes the risk of poison ivy, etc.  In between uses, we would shake them off (the silicone construction keeps liquid from adhering) and/or rinse them with a little water, then roll them back into their storage tube, which we kept in an outer mesh pocket of our packs for easy access.

Thank you for your story Kathleen!  We are so glad we could help you and Erica have a squat free trip.  Your GoGirl and GoGirl T-Shirt are en route.

Enjoy Colleen's GoGirl Story: 
       
I was training for a full marathon, and decided to make a pit stop at a convenient port-a-potty on my route.  This particular port-a-potty is located on a golf course.  As I ran towards it I noticed to older gentleman getting ready to play a round of golf.  I sat down on the port-a-potty and noticed a spider hanging near the door.  (I hate spiders!!). I kept my eye on the spider and thought to myself he is little, I know he is there, I am ok.  I finished up my business and grabbed toliet paper to wipe off.  When I went to wipe off, to my horror I had a huge spider with his legs stretched between my legs just sitting there.  I threw the toliet paper at it, screamed and in one smooth moved hit the handle of the porta-potty door and bolted out, screaming the whole way with my pants down around my upper legs.  Needless to say the guys ready to tee off got a show of my naked body jumping from the port-a-potty.  I was so afraid the spider was hiding in my shorts, I could hardly run.  I cut my run short, ran home fast and took a shower.  Yucky!!!!!
       
Thanks for sharing Colleen and your free GoGirl is enroute.  We will totally have your back the next time you encounter an icky port-a-potty or a nasty spider.
