Ladies Loo Requirements

[ethandron]

We were stuck on the M6 this week, when a bus caught fire, totally stationary for two hours. Quite a few men used the hard shoulder to have a pee (I was tempted myself but managed to hang on, just) but it got me thinking about what ladies could/would/should do in these circumstances if they were absolutely desperate.
What would you do, seriously? I own a shewee but didn't have it with me and in all honesty doubt I would have used it anyway, on the hard shoulder, surrounded by so many cars and lorries.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

[ethandron]

Indeed, but how, there.... would you pull down your pants and just do it?

[rockyracoon]

I'd have got the other ladies to create a barrier so that I could take a pee without being seen. You can all take turns, then.

[Mamyalynne]

If I was bursting, then I would have gone as discreetly as possible.


Much easier when a few are in the same situation, less embarrassment.

When I was doing a lot of diving if a lady required privacy for changing or toilet then us men would form a circle round her facing outwards of course.

[ethandron]

I suppose if you're in the inside lane, it would be possible to open both the front and back car doors and create some sort of fairly private area but we were in the outside lane, barely an inch between vehicles, mainly lorries, vans and what looked like business men, very few ladies.
I was wondering if anyone has any kind of contraption they use inside the car, in an emergency?

There you go see, men are expected to not worry about it (one gets the shock knocked out of them first year of primary school) but women can be bashful all their lives. Go use your shewee, or better still strike a blow for equality and simply pull & crouch down (and try not to splash your shoes).

squat there right in middle of the centre carriageway - this would guarantee you your 15 minutes of fame.....The Sun, The Mirror and probably even the Daily Telegraph with their want for totty to adorn their pages will be after you - and probably PC Plod.

Keep a plastic box for the purpose. Easy to tip outside when used.

Best answer to OG as he made me chuckle :)
Is that what you've done Tambo? Can't imagine being agile enough to use a plastic box in the car..

[tamborine]

Am not squatting on ants nest ;)

[Mamyalynne]

It's hard to tell what you are squatting on in that avatar Tambs.

[ethandron]

If that's a squat then I've been doing it wrong all these years.. ;)

[Barmaid]

I've done it. Been stuck in hideous traffic and decided "if I dont go soon the next 6 hours are going to be uncomfortable" and marched into the bushes at the side of the road and done what is necessary. Most people understand and respect that needs must.

[ethandron]

I've peed in lay-bys, woods, back alleys, behind a tree at the side of a busy canal, hadrians wall, all sorts of places when there was no alternative, but the thought of doing it at the side of a jam packed motorway with loads of people potentially watching...not sure I could do that.
Respect to you Barmaid.

When we went to France, on into Spain, the 'toilets' for ladies were better off not being put there, we had to stand over a hole and pee into it, after that, if I was in the situation you found yourself in, I'd go like the lads, just stand and go, or squat, better out than in ;)

[ethandron]

I've peed in many a French loo, a hole in the ground holds no horrors for me, at least they're in a cubicle.

[Baldric]

More than once, when held up on long trips we've had to open front and rear n/s doors and I've held a blanket across the gap while the deed is done, (every car should have a blanket).

This is a situation where " Tenna Lady " is just not the solution. :-)

A pee you can cope with but what if you need a #2?
