I agree with you that it’d be better marketed as a portable pee tube!

I can imagine how traumatic it’d be for my little boy to have to insert his little penis into a tube…he’s already squirming by the time he decides to stop playing and head for the toilet.

Jed G – My son sounds just like yours :-) When our boy is good, he’ll tip-toe and tinkle into the toilet bowl. If not, he’ll just aim for the drainage hole and I rinse it off with the shower head. And yes, he loves to pee in the bushes which I’m OK with but his Dad is not LOL

Not shame, but not fame – a bit too silly. That said, right now I think we could use one. My 2.5 y.o. insists on dispensing with his step stool while peeing, but he’s just barely tall enough to get his penis over the toilet edge. An extra 2 inches would mean less cleanup…. [He also wants to pee on the trees outside, but that's my fault. Don't tell mom.]

Laughable. I say shame for the reporter who did that story. Wonder if he’s got that lil gem in his highlight reel/portfolio.

And what a nice family memory dad has created for his son. “I created that gizmo, son, when you were too little whiz like a man….”

SHAME. If only because they left out the apostrophe in “boys pants,” “boys little soldier” etc.
Come to think of it, whoever wrote their copy seems to get just a little too much glee from describing the action of pottying a nudie little boy. (do we really need to be told to unzip or pull down the pants first???)
Creepy.

Shame. This is just silliness. I’m with Paul on this one.

Shame. First of all he didn’t invent anything. It’s a stock mailing tube that he stuck a label onto.

I have 3 that I got as samples for a project at work. The caps are vinyl and do have an extremely tight fit, to the point where I put things in there that I wouldn’t want my little guy to have (paper clips) and gave it to him to shake to his hearts content. Even so, I don’t know that I’d trust it to hold liquid and I’m definitely not putting a wet tinkle tube in my purse. We’ll just do things the old fashion way and hopefully one day (when we get to potty training) the little guy will get the hang of point and squirt without any training tube.

Why can’t they make one so girls can stand up and pee all over everything!

Shame. So you’re at the ball park with the little man, he says those three little words, “I gotta pee.” You set down your Cracker Jack and head off to the head. As you stand at the trough with the other guys, you help Junior off with his pants, whip out a plastic tube and stick his penis in it? Can’t wrap my head around it. Besides, if this is really a huge problem, what’s wrong with a section of 3/4″ PVC? I can get a 10′ length at the local hardware store for like three bucks. That way, if a different kind of “sprinkler” emergency came up, I’d be all set!
