GoGirl Story 21: Shelley and Hiking with Seniors

The GoGirls are very excited to continue to sharing our GoGirl Story Series.  We are calling for all you lovely ladies to share your GoGirl stories with us: times when you needed us, thought of us, or used us.  Email us at info@go-girl.com to participate.  We will post a new story each week or so and the person submitting will get a free GoGirl for sharing.

Enjoy Shelley's GoGirl Story:

Hello Sarah: I have been a Go-Girl for about 5 weeks now and can count on one hand the number of times I had to hover over a toilet seat since becoming a Go-Girl. I'm even past the idea of someone seeing my feet under the stall backwards in front of the toilet. Imagine what they must be thinking!!! Let them eat their hearts out.


My primary function for the "FUD" was for my hiking class. I am a student in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Furman University in Greenville, SC. My husband and I are both hikers and we take the hiking class 3 times a year @ OLLI. We hike with 25 to 30 senior citizens and when it is time for a potty break the women and men separate and wait for the all clear call. In early spring, summer and late fall bushes, leaves, bugs and whatever are a problem when we squat in the woods. In the winter, the bushes are bare and so are we in the cold.


The last time we hiked with our class in November, my husband and I were ahead of the group, so we went off by ourselves. He stopped at the side of the trail, but I decided to wait until the parking lot. Because there was a port-o-potty there. Not my favorite choice, but it was so cold and windy and a long ride home. On the way to the car I commended on the accessibility for men compared to women and said, "someone should invent something for us outdoor women". Not 4 days later I saw on my Yahoo Home Page a picture of Go-Girl as one of the most emailed pictures. I clicked on it and ordered 3 with 5 minutes.


My daughter and granddaughter were coming for Thanksgiving and we love to hike together. I'm very private about my Go-Girl activities, but when we are with close friends my husband asks. "Have you told the ladies about Go-Girl?" One friend ordered it right then and there. This term begins January 12th and I will be hiking on the 15th, weather permitting. I know everyone is going to ask "How did you do that?". I can't wait to enlighten them!


Shelley, A Go-Girl for Life

Thank you Shelley for being one of the GoGirls and helping to share the message with younger ladies.  A GoGirl and GoGirl t-shirt is on its way to you.
