Go Girl...

Dear Ask 3 Guys,

I have an itch and an odor downstairs, and I have been using the Go Girl product. Do you think it is the cause of my problem? At this point, any information is helpful and needed urgently. I can't take the smell! Do you think others can smell it too?

Please help!

Okay everyone,

Befor we answer the question, we want to make sure that everyone understands what the Go Girl product is. Of course, we had to research this one, and we were definitely surprised. Why would a woman need this anyway?

Here's some information from the Go Girl website:


Ok, so what’s a GoGirl?

Simply put, GoGirl is the way to stand up to crowded, disgusting, distant or non-existent bathrooms. It’s a female urination device (sometimes called a FUD) that allows you to urinate while standing up. It’s neat. It’s discreet. It’s hygienic.GoGirl is easy to use. Just lower your panties, and put GoGirl against your body, forming a seal. Aim and, well, pee. Pretty simple, huh?

GoGirl fits easily in your purse, pocket, or glove compartment. It’s a must for travel and sports. And it’s great for everyday––no more crouching over or trying to cover up an unsanitary public toilet.

While the concept may be new to you, European women have used female urination devices for years. GoGirl’s not the first device of its kind. But try it. And we think you’ll agree it’s easily the best.

Only GoGirl is made with flexible, medical grade silicone. Dispose of it after use. Or clean and reuse as you like. (Urine is sterile, but the product can come into contact with contaminates during use, so take precautions when cleaning.) Our patented splash guard eliminates messing and spilling. Once you practice a time or two, using a GoGirl is going to feel like second nature. You won’t be like a man. You’ll just pee like one;">**************************************************

Dear Go Girl,

Victor's Take:

I had to look up the GO GIRL product online, I tell you... who knew?

No, this is not the cause of your problem. You need to see a gynecologist immediately.

My best friend who is a nurse thinks you might have a case of bacterial vaginosis. This is an infection that occurs when the good bacteria is overcome by the bad bacteria. It can cause odor, discharge, frequent urination, etc. and can be resolved with a prescription vaginal cream that will be given by a doctor. Your doctor will give you a test to determine if this is your issue.

Go to the doctor!

Good luck,

Ronnie's Take:

I don't know of a direct corelation between the two, and I can't find any with some research. I would stop using it and see if the smell and itch go away. First and foremost though, see a doctor. It could be dangerous and will definitely ruin your sex life.

Eddie's Take:

Yes others can smell it. If you can smell it, they can smell it. I, honestly, had no clue what the Go Girl was, and I was blown away when I went to the website. Is it that important to pee standing up? Do you actually carry this thing in your purse when you go out. My obvious take on this is that the device is dirty. I don't know what kind of cleaning rituals you have, but any left over urine, or germs in general, can result in the growth of bacteria. Then, you are using this thing over and over again. Hello-- that is just foul.

So, be like the rest of the women, and learn to hover. Or, go places where they have cleaner restrooms.

No one likes it when someone's special place is smelly, so take care of it. See a doctor, because you probably have something going on in there that requires their expertise.

Adios!
