Using a GoGirl is surprisingly simple! Just hold the GoGirl firmly against your body, creating a seal around your urethra, aim carefully, and urinate. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps to Using a GoGirl
-
Practice (Highly Recommended!): The first time you use a GoGirl, practice in the shower or bathtub. This will help you get comfortable with the placement and technique without worrying about spills.
-
Positioning:
- Hold the GoGirl with one hand, using your thumb and fingers to grip the wide end.
- With your other hand, gently separate your labia.
- Place the GoGirl firmly against your body, creating a complete seal around your urethra. This is the most crucial step to prevent leaks. Ensure the tip is angled downwards.
-
Aiming: Aim the spout of the GoGirl towards the toilet or other desired receptacle.
-
Urination: Relax and urinate as you normally would. Control the flow as needed.
-
Cleaning:
- After you're finished, use a gentle rocking motion to shake any remaining liquid from the GoGirl.
- Rinse with water if available. You can also wipe it clean with a tissue or wipe if water isn't accessible.
- Store the GoGirl in its provided case for sanitary transport. Wash thoroughly with soap and water when you have the opportunity.
Tips for Success
- Seal is Key: The most important factor is creating a secure seal. Practice will help you find the right placement and pressure.
- Relax: Tension can make it harder to urinate. Try to relax your muscles.
- Angle: Ensure the GoGirl is angled downwards to prevent backflow.
- Hygiene: Always prioritize hygiene. Clean the device thoroughly after each use.
- Privacy: Find a private space to practice and use the GoGirl.
Troubleshooting
- Leaking: Leaking usually indicates that the seal wasn't tight enough. Reposition and try again.
- Slow Flow: This could be due to tension or a blockage. Relax and ensure the GoGirl is properly positioned.
By following these steps and practicing, you can confidently and comfortably use a GoGirl in situations where traditional toilet facilities are unavailable or unsanitary.
