Through my long career as a critical care RN and educator I, have become an adventurous woman and entrepreneur.  For my 60ith birthday I cajoled my husband into walking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago with me.  I read only one blog about a 50-year-old man who was 50 pounds overweight and didn't really train.  He finished the Camino, so this became my training regimen. We walked for 36 days and took 2 days off to rest. We climbed three mountain ranges, and had the most amazing experiences, that took me from being a quiet observer to being an outgoing speaker and entrepreneur, and minister.

On the Camino de Santiago, it was a long way between towns. Miles and miles without a place to take care of those “necessary” functions. And sometimes there was not a convenient rock or bush to squat behind to preserve my dignity and privacy. On this spiritual pilgrimage, I found myself feeling a totally unspiritual envy of my husband. When he heard the call of nature all he had to do was turn his back and take care of business.

I wasn’t willing to wear a female catheter and the environmentalist in me couldn’t deal with pads or disposal underwear, so many times I found myself concentrating harder on holding my bladder than on the spiritual journey I was taking. I told myself there had to be an easier way. And there had to be many more women out there who felt the same way and had the same problem.

9 years and 6 prototypes later, Cover Y'r Assets was born. Stylish and comfortable, it looks like the skort any woman would wear on the trail, the golf course, or the tennis court. But this garment has a functional panel that is easy to detach via snaps to allow you to take care of those necessary functions while remaining perfectly covered and discrete, even when there’s no bush or rock to hide behind. This functionality is patent pending so it’s unlike anything you’ve tried before!

Following my hiker’s principles of leaving a minimal trace behind, I committed to using fabric made of recycled materials and using home-based seamstresses rather than commercial manufacturing.

When you Cover Y'r Assets, you can pay attention to nature’s beauty, rather than worrying about how to respond to nature’s call.

We create “elimination equality,” making answering nature’s call as easy and convenient for women as it is for men. “Cover Y'r Assets” is the all-in-one travel skort with a convenience flap that un-snaps to allow a bathroom break even where there is no bathroom. More eco-friendly than pads or disposable underwear, our un-snappable panel is washable and reusable. My goal is to create an opportunity for women to become confident and unstoppable across the globe.
