If it's a long enough trip then peeing before you set out doesn't help much.

If you are medically fit then I am sure it does help
I didn't use the loo in about 8 hours flight I didn't even leave my seat for a minute
How long more trip?

She is. []

I tried this too...then I remembered I'm a bloke...it still worked though !

Peeing out in the wilds of nature is so much more fun if you are a man. Having to crouch down with nettles at your rear and the direction of flow threatening to hit your sandals is no fun. My friend has a she pee (no I'm not talking about our lovable little lamb, neilep) no this is a device that helps women to pee like a man. I told her it is not the best invention unless it enables you to pee through your neighbours letterbox. I'm sure Neil will agree.

I agree.  []

Old age makes you have to pee more often. I can't make it through the night anymore. I used to.

You make urine at the rate of about 1ml per minute. When bladder volume starts to exceed 0.5 litres it begins to feel quite uncomfortable. Therefore you've got about 5 hours of relative comfort and then progressively increasing discomfort until you venture to the toilet!

Your mileage may vary.

What puzzle me are squat toilets.  It seems that, if I drop my trousers and squat, I'd be defecating in my trousers.  Billions of people use them, so how do they do it?

It's actually not that hard, although it is a strain on the legs if you're in for the long haul.

What scares me are long drop toilets. Especially the really cruddy ones.

Ladies have to squat in the great outdoors all the time. Personally I have never crapped in my trousers. The worst is weeing on a slope and getting widdle on your shoes.

The outside loo on my grandads farm had two holes next to each other going down into a trough. I never tried crapping with a friend but me and my cousin had a winkle together once. It was quite musical.

'Winkle'? [] What is that like some kind of British slang?

[Make it Lady]

Sorry should have read tinkle. Does that help?

Who could have predicted that this thread would run and run?

Just as a side note here, I used to know a young lady who married a fella with the surname 'Rivers'. Nothing strange about that, except her signature then became 'P. Rivers'.
