[pct-l] p-mate vs p-style

[River Malcolm]

Thanks for posting this Herb! I have been using the p-style since two women on the PCT told me it was their favorite gear! The p-style is plastic, not disposable, for me on the trail that is great. (Less trash to carry, easy to put away).
I can’t say enough about the ease of unzipping and peeing, with no need to loosen or take off pack, lower pants, squat, etc. I actually began to believe in penis envy once I experienced the p-style. You gotta know how easy it is before you can envy it.
I highly recommend it to women hikers.

River (and, at 67, sometimes I do feel like my name refers to the frequency with which I need to pee — the p-style is truly a blessing)

Easy to use with everything from pants and shorts to skirts, P-Mate is a disposable, recyclable, cardboard device that allows women to discreetly relieve their bladders while standing-no dropping your drawers required."
