1. Be sure the TravelMate is clean. This is very important.
2. Depending on whether your pants zipper goes down far enough, you may be able to pee through the fly with the top button fastened. If the zipper is too short, unbutton the top and lower the pants an inch or two. Rather than pull the panties down at the waist, try pulling the fabric at the crotch of the underwear to one side, and slip the TravelMate cradle in place. If you're wearing loose outer shorts with wide leg openings, you can pee through one of them easily.
3. Take time to position the cradle properly. Cover your vagina with the cradle and pull handle slightly up until the cradle fits around your urethral orifice. the outer labia (or lips) should "snuggle" the cradle, holding it in place.
4. Hold the handle down at a 45 degree angle.
5. Begin the urine flow. You'll see urine go through the handle.
6. Use the cradle to "wipe" any residual urine off yourself.
7. A moist towelette can also be used if necessary.
8. Wash the Travelmate and your hands, then put the device back in its case or bag.
Thorough instructions are included with packaging.
