No more annoying bathroom breaks. The Stadium Pal is an external catheter designed to eliminate frequent trips to restrooms during sporting events, traveling, flying, hunting and fishing, concerts, physical therapy, pub crawling, and long distance motorcycle rides. If you're a woman there's also the Stadium Gal . Not convinced? Listen to David Sedaris' testimonial (About 53 minutes into the clip, RealPlayer required). (SFW)
  • I'm guessing you can't wear shorts with that thing.
  • WHAOOOOOO!!! /Homer
  • First home enema kits, now home colostomy bags....what next? No wait... I don't want to know.
  • Actually, not such a terrible idea, at least for those of us with problems that don't need discussing here. Still, I'm not convinced that it could possibly, in any way, be comfortable. And the testimonials for Stadium Gal are All In Caps, which is a bad sign, heh.
  • I'm with livii. It's extremely annoying to read. And capitalising the first letter of every word is just as bad. And squeak, since you asked: Here you go. (Courtesy of MeFi)
  • I think I'll pass, thanks.
  • Ah, the Diva Cup is just an alternative menstrual product. Not a fan myself, but I know tons of women who swear by it or the Keeper. Much more natural and cheaper than using tampons or (store-bought) pads. I have reusable cotton pads, myself. And I meant that each word was capitalized; d'oh, and thanks for being clearer, Alnedra.
  • You'll pass what, Darshon? ;) livii: I'll have to pass on the thanks, I really thought you meant that the testimonials were all in caps. That'll teach me to read the page before opening my big mouth. I have never been able to go back to pads after starting on tampons. Will try out the Diva Cup when I get a chance, as I'm fairly worried about Toxic Shock Syndrome from using tampons.
  • I don't have much to contribute regarding tampons. I am, however, in a position to pass on an interesting story about a urinal in NZ.
  • I'm still waiting for the female urinal to catch on...
