NY ♥ NY

In a transparent attempt to lighten the tone since my last post, I’ve decided to blog about this miraculous invention for females.  I discovered it today when “pmate” friended my boss on Twitter.  Their bio?  “I am a disposable cardboard device for women to use to stand up and pee without having to bare their butts to the world!  Safety, Hygiene and Dignity!”  Right, okay, so it’s a p-mate (get it? PEE-mate? to help you PEE!).  Yes, I’ve heard of brands and products joining Twitter before, but a urinary device is new.

The icon is a woman whose back is turned, holding her hands (and the p-mate) in front of her crotch.

After looking at the photos on their site , I would say that it is essentially a paper penis.  It’s designed to go under your crotch and stick out the front, so that the urine rolls down the path (gravity’s awesome!) and out onto the ground, like…if women were to have penises.  In which case, the world would be our urinal as well.

Hahaha.

There are so many things I could say but I’ll just put them in short blurbs.  The P-mate is convenient.  And ridiculous and hilarious.  Pleasepleaseplease go to the photos on the site because they’re even more hilarious (specifically, “Avoid beasts of all kinds” and “Stand by your man!”).  And while you’re at it, please buy the P-mate mug and thong. On a less hilarious note, however, I am scared of the kind of people who will find this post via dirty, late-night Google searches.

A mug? Really?
