We suggest using first at home at your toilet or in the shower to get comfortable and in the habit fast. Using at home first a couple times will help you get the positioning down and give you confidence quickly in this new upright position;-)
In just a few uses you’ll become an expert and never want to sit or squat again! YES – It is a different sensation! We are so used to sitting/hovering/squatting that it almost doesn’t feel possible that it will work standing! Trust that it does!
The key to success is really just knowing the correct placement. Place the wider end of the funnel back far enough to cover the area that pee flows from and hold snug against the skin. You create a seal with the funnel and your skin covering the area. Then… Let it flow!
When finished, slightly jiggle without removing yet, then slide it forward along the skin to remove any remaining drop. This reduces the need for toilet paper or wipes.
We also have instructions and videos on our website (How to Use page at www.vitorpequino.com)
SaniGirl® is recommended for all shapes, sizes, and ages 12 and up.
My Little Helper® is specially designed for girls ages 3+, and is the only product on the market today, specifically made for younger girls.
SaniGirl® and My Little Helper® for Girls have a unique ergonomic design that prevents leakage, overflow, splashing and backflow. The products have a nice satin feel, are water resistant, and are small, compact and discreet. The quality is TOP – they will not arrive unglued, fall apart, or crumple in-use. The design allows it to fit nicely against the skin creating a much better seal than other designs. Our patented designs are made for women by women.
Depending on the age of your child you may need to help them to use it the first couple of times. Not because it is difficult for them to use, but from testing we have learned that they think it is really cool and mid-stream may try to turn it up to look at it or try to do fancy spins with it.
Once you help them and tell them to cover the area and keep it in place until finished kids really learn fast! Help as needed the first couple of tries and then they will be confident and want to stand and do it on their own! For more info l see above and our website How to Use page at www.vitorpequino.com

Depending on what you are wearing and the fit, you can slide bathing suits, rompers, shorts and underwear to one side, skirts and dresses can come up in the front, etc. Jeans and shorts will need to come down far enough to uncover the area. Clothes can stay MUCH more in tact than squatting, and no messy clothes!
No, pants / shorts do not need to come all the way down. You simply pull them down just far enough to uncover the area and cover it with the product to form a seal with the funnel to the skin. It will depend on the fit of the garment, some can be pulled to one side, while tighter fitting jeans will need to come down to mid or lower bum to uncover the area to place the funnel.
No. SaniGirl®, & My Little Helper® female urination device are not pee collectors or absorbent material. OUr pee funnels are made for urine to flow freely out of the funnel in the direction that you point – into the toilet – onto the grass, etc.
