We make The Pee Pocket, so read this knowing that. We have kept competitor details to what each brand publishes itself, and said plainly where a reusable device is the better choice.
First decision: disposable or reusable
Every female urination device (FUD) falls on one side of this line, and it matters more than brand. Disposable funnels are used once and binned — nothing to clean, nothing wet to carry. Reusable funnels, usually silicone or plastic, are cheaper over time but need washing after each use. Our disposable vs reusable guide goes deeper.
| Device | Type | Material | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Pee Pocket | Disposable | Plant-based, biodegradable; wipe and disposal bag included | Public restrooms, travel, festivals, recovery |
| SaniGirl | Disposable | Recyclable paperboard | Disposable users who want a children's size too |
| GoGirl | Reusable | Medical-grade silicone | Regular use where soap and water are on hand |
| Shewee Extreme | Reusable | Polypropylene, with carry case and extension tube | Outdoor use by people who want a rigid device |
Best for public restrooms: The Pee Pocket
In a public restroom the whole point is not touching anything, and a reusable funnel undoes that the moment you have to rinse it in a shared sink. The Pee Pocket is opened fresh, used standing, and sealed in its own disposal bag — the wipe is inside the wrapper, so an empty paper dispenser is not your problem. It folds to the size of a napkin, so a couple live in any bag.
Best for air travel and road trips: The Pee Pocket
It is dry and flat, so it sits in a carry-on without counting as a liquid, and there is nothing to wash in an aircraft lavatory or a hotel sink. For a week away, the 10-pack is usually enough; see using a female urination device on a plane and pee funnels for road trips.
Best for camping and hiking: it depends on water
On a car-camping trip with a tap, a reusable GoGirl or Shewee is a reasonable choice. On a trail, rinsing a funnel costs drinking water you are carrying, which is why many hikers choose a disposable funnel for the outdoors and pack it out.

Best after surgery or with limited mobility: single-use
After a hip or knee replacement the difficulty is lowering yourself, and a device you can use standing helps. Single-use matters here too, because a reusable device becomes a carer's cleaning job several times a day. Read our guide to using a female urination device after hip replacement, or see recovery and mobility.
Best on a budget over time: a reusable
If you use a funnel daily at home and always have a sink, a reusable silicone funnel will cost less over a year. That is the honest answer. If you want a disposable at the lowest price per use, the 50-pack carton brings a Pee Pocket to 68¢.
What to look for in any female urination device
- A long enough spout or channel to direct flow clear of clothing.
- A rim that sits comfortably without needing to be pressed hard.
- A plan for after use — a disposal bag for single-use, a sealable case for reusable.
- Packability — if it is not in your bag, it does not help.
- A trial run at home before you depend on it. See how to use a female urination device.

Questions
What is the best female urination device?
It depends on where you will use it. For public restrooms and travel, a disposable funnel like The Pee Pocket avoids having to clean anything. For regular use where soap and water are always available, a reusable silicone funnel costs less over time.
Are disposable pee funnels better than reusable ones?
They are more convenient and more hygienic in the moment because nothing is cleaned or carried after use. Reusable funnels are cheaper over many uses. Many people keep both.
Do female urination devices leak?
Most leaks come from positioning — holding the funnel too far back or angling the spout upward. A trial run at home, in the shower, solves nearly all of them.
Which female urination device is best for beginners?
A small pack of disposables is the lowest-risk way to start: The Pee Pocket 3-pack lets you try it without committing to a reusable device or a large pack.
