Kate WinsletandCate Blanchettwant the world to know about a device that will change the way women pee!
During an appearance onThe Graham Norton Showon Friday, the two actresses got into a conversation aboutShewees— devices that help women urinate standing up — when Winslet, 48, brought up a scene in her 1999 movieHoly Smoke.
Winslet’s character is naked and peeing in the desert in the scene, which she told Blanchett, hostGraham Nortonand fellow guestsDua Lipaand actor Adrian Lester was difficult to film.
“I had to get this little pipe and, you know, wedge it in a specific spot,” theTitanicstar continued, clarifying for Blanchett, 54, that she did it all herself, despite being offered help.
Someone would run on set and release the fluid, which Winslet said would “gush.”
“But the problem is, when you’re a girl, it doesn’t go in a stream down the middle. It goes all down the leg,” she continued. So, she said she had to do the shot an extreme number of times to “get the wee to hit the floor.”
The story prompted Blanchett to tell everyone that she thinks about putting Shewees in people’s stockings at Christmas every year, but never does it.

“Someone gave me a Sheewee — it’s brilliant,” Winslet replied, to which Blanchett said they are “so amazing.”
Winslet confessed that she used the device while at the Glastonbury Music Festival last year.

Blanchett then proceeded to stand up and demonstrate what a Sheewee is for Lester. “It’s a cup with a little tube, so it means that you can stand up and you can direct the flow,” theBlue Jasminestar hilariously explained, using hand gestures to enhance her demonstration.
“I have an image in my head now,” Lester joked in response.
