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.

My wife keeps a shewee in the car for such emergencies.

Don't you keep a Loo Roll in your car Eddie?

Friend of mine was caught in a traffic jam whilst on the way to see her very elderly mum. She was getting desperate for a pee when she remembered that she had some padded pants for her mum so unwrapped one and eased down her underwear, slipped the pad underneath her and peed....there was a blanket over her lap too!!..She reported the object of the exercise was achieved with no leakage and the pad discreetly packed away....never leave home without one...!!

It's awful. As a lady of certain years and a mother this is a nightmare-in-waiting. In France, by the way, every new mum gets physio to re-educate the required wee-wee muscles (somewhere we fall short).
It happened to me once. I wriggled until it got darkish and then I simply had to get out of the car, swathe myself in impenetrable coats ....and wee (sheltered by the car door from one side).

If any govt. at any time cancels ladies' loos then they are out to control - believe me! It was G B Shaw who led the move for ladies' public loos and for that he demands sainthood!

If you car has two doors (i.e.four) you open them both on the hard shoulder and have privacy, whether you are male of female.

In the city of Newcastle, which used to abound with them, there are no longer any public conveniences left open. If you are caught short your only option is a department store or a pub.

I still do my pelvic floor exercises at 63 years old, and never take my diuretic if going on a long journey.

Mind you with 3 children and 2 dogs in the car maybe an extra accident might go unnoticed.

ethandron, after France, I'd go in your your pocket if necessary

Jourdain, I think Britain have caught up with France in the pelvic floor exercises for women .!!!!!!
