FebePoet- My only experience is with the She-P so will not comment on the She-Wee. The two threads Marci linked earlier in this thread helped me tremendously along with the many PMs I received filled with advice from the generous SB's She-P pioneers.
My current dives are not long but I will eventually get into deco dives so wanted to start now because of my dive locales. Some of the Florida cave sites I dive are rather "rustic" and have no indoor toilet facilities. Removing a drysuit to squat and pee in the woods is not an option when it's pouring rain. Removing a drysuit in an enclosed Porta-Pottie to squat has my drysuit and me touching areas of the Porta-Pottie I'd rather it and I not touch.
On a boat, undressing in the marine head to pee can be dangerous when rough sea conditions causes the boat to pitch like a mechanical bull ride. The She-P and P-valve solves all those issues and allows me to stay hydrated throughout the day.
There is a learning curve but that is true for any piece of scuba gear. At first, I found the shaving and the gluing inconvenient but have gotten better and faster each time. I've glued my butt cheeks together on two separate occasions during the learning curve period :blush: and had my first leak two weeks ago. Luckily I had a Poise pad so did not soil my wicking layer or drysuit undergarment.
The She-P and P-Valve are the best pieces of scuba gear I've purchased since my drysuit and can light. I envy the dudes who get to pee standing up 24/7.
The She-P community on SB has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have a question you're not comfortable posting online.
