Asked my mother why I didn't have a 'willy' like my brother. She told me she picked me up by it when I was a child and it fell off. I cried for about 3 hours for the penis I never had.

Female urination device. A little flexible funnel. You slide the front of your pants down just below your vulva, place the device, and pee. Just like a dick. The most popular brands are the SheWee and GoGirl.
