Women Pee Freely

Urinelle = Brilliant! The perfect thing for when you are out hiking in the sticks, or on a boat, with no head, in cold water. So many uses actually. Women could use this to pee off the Verrazano Narrows bridge just like the men do during the first mile of the New York City Marathon. Why did it take me so long to find this? Growing up as a tom-boy, this absolutely would have changed my life.

The URINELLE is designed to fit women of any age and can be taken on trips abroad. It is ideal for pregnant women, or women who have a hernia and have trouble sitting down. It is also ideal for urine samples.

It is:

• Very simple to use. The URINELLE hygienic cone is held with one hand and springs into its correct shape simply by pressing either side. Its anatomical shape has been tested and adapts to all women. Thanks to its wide edge, there is NO RISK at all of urinating to one side of it and getting your clothes wet.
  
• Safe: The URINELLE is hydrophobic during use. The cone is made of a material that repels water and doesn't wet your hands.
  
• 100% natural and biodegradable. It can only be used once and is thrown in the toilet after use.
  
• Perfectly hygienic: The URINELLE is manufactured under strict bacteriological control and - if required- sterilised in its packing (medical purpose).
  
• Compact and small so you can carry it with you all the time.

If you are procrastinating right now, then you'll have time to watch the Urinelle in action in this YouTube promotional video:

iPhone 3G Armband

As a runner, one thing I love about the iPhone is that I only have to carry one device for music and communication (and camera, albeit crappy camera). The trick has been how to carry it. I bought an InCase armband from the Apple store at the same time I bought my iPhone back in March, but the thing was really designed for the iPod touch. There is no easy way to access the sound buttons on the side of the phone, and the armband velcro strap does not adjust small enough for my arm.

Today I came across this armband designed specifically for the iPhone, and I am hoping it will be the answer for me. Hopefully, it becomes available very soon.

Backup Battery for iPhone / iPod - DX001

This iPhone battery is brilliant, and with all the new apps I have added since the iphone 2.0 upgrade, I will be on my iphone more than ever, so this will really come in handy now. And it looks to be just the thing for traveling too!

Backup Battery for iPhone / iPod - DX001: "Backup Battery for iPhone / iPod

"I love my iPhone! It is the best personal gadget I've ever owned. I use it all day, and enjoy all its many features: email, Internet browsing, weather, stocks, maps, and so on . . .

If there is one drawback to being on it all day, it is that the battery begins to show a lower charge level, or run out, towards the end of the day . . .

This led me to work with a leading manufacturer to design and develop a new backup battery using Apple's proprietary connector. It's the rechargeable Smart Backup Battery — just snap it on and it begins to charge instantly. It is the first on the market to be certified for both 'Works with iPhone' and 'Made for iPod.'

One thing about this battery is that it's small but powerful. In fact, it's the most powerful battery of its size available. Keep it in your pocket, purse, or briefcase, and snap it on to keep going all day — and night! You can charge while simultaneously using your iPhone. You can charge both the battery and the iPhone together.

One of the best features of this product is that at night, you snap the battery and iPhone together, and charge them both with the included charger. You'll wake up in the morning with both fully charged. So you are getting a wall / USB charger for free. When you travel, you don't need the Apple charger. Just take this one.

Of course, it works for all models of iPhone and iPod, except for iPod shuffle."

The best way to clean white leather purse?

Let me just say for the record, I love that knowledge is at your fingertips on the internet. Searching for advice on how to clean my white leather bag, that had become grimy as a result of nyc subway travel, I came across this post on Yahoo Answers: The best way to clean white leather purse?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Use Mr. Clean magic eraser and water. It is VERY effective and will not hurt the leather as the eraser is not truly wet. Wipe any moisture dry from your bag and then treat with a leather conditioner to avoid cracking and hardening. Allow conditioner to dry thoroughly. -Kanakale

Can I just say - brilliant! Using the Mr. Clean magic eraser is something I would never have thought
of, but it worked exceedingly well.

Here are my results:
First photo - top of the bag still dirty, bottom of the bag Mr. Cleaned.














Halfway
Bottom of the bag - you can see the dirt line between cleaned and not clean.








Bottom of the bag fully cleaned - no more dirt
