Using the Gender X Stand - up Peeing Device is easy. First, hold the device firmly in place to ensure a proper fit. Then, you can pee just like you would in a standing position. Make sure it's positioned correctly to avoid any spills. As for maintenance, simply rinse it with water after each use since it has a waterproof design. You can use mild soap if needed, but avoid using harsh chemicals. When not in use, store it in a cool and dry place. And always remember, this device is phthalate and latex - free, but if you have any specific allergies or concerns, it's a good idea to consult a doctor.
