Portapotty Lifesaver for the Ladies: Female Urinary Device

A tip for the ladies…

Many of the portapotties have been backed up and clogged to the extent that women can not sit down to pee. If you are squat challenged, like I am, this device is a lifesaver that can help you use the urinal in the portapotties. They sell it at REI for around $20. I know that’s expensive for a piece of plastic with tubing, but if you are at the plaza a lot and can afford it, it’s totally worth it! I have used it a lot on long car trips and backpacking as well because you can go in a bush without exposing your ass. This model is good because the hard plastic is necessary to create a seal when you press it against your body. There are other types with silicone funnels, but they bend and don’t create a good seal and you can dribble on yourself. I am in no way affiliated with this company, I just thought I would share how much I appreciate the freedom to pee that this thing has given me…

Love,

Julia

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
