New Delhi : Twenty five-year-old Kamakshi is happy that she no longer suffers from a urinary tract infection (UTI) usually caused by using dirty toilets in her office – thanks to peebuddy, a one-time-use affordable device that enables women to urinate while standing.
Initially it was a moment of awkwardness as most of her female friends would mock her, but after observing the advantage of the device they too started using it and were happy with the outcome. A pack of five costs Rs.120, with the price reduced for larger packs.
Peebuddy, which has already been tested among 60 percent of women in the urban and rural areas of the Delhi NCR, is highly beneficial for pregnant women and arthritis patients who are advised by their doctors to restrict their body movements. The device is more reliable as it is discharged after one use – preventing any chance of bacteria accumulation if used a second time.
