    Peeing on the down low

    I bought a silicone funnel thing that slips over your bits. I've used it in my car when other people drive me but I have to be squatting or standing. On the public transport van sometimes the driver gets lost and makes a 3 hour trip. They will not let you off unless you are at your destination. I can't angle the funnel enough to throw my coat over my lap, but I think if it were made of different material I could use it in a sitting position?

    I'm really not psychologically to the point where I can buy adult protection and go in pants, particularly I don't want to sit in my own waste for 1-2 hours. Any suggestions?

    Just a suggestion, but cathing just before travel might help.

    I guess you've already looked for a shorter commute.

      Some supplements and meds can help with urinary fx. A calcium / magnesium supplement (can be purchased at your health food store, or at amazon.com) may work.

      Or, four 5-mg oxybutynin pills, take one every six hours, can also work and is inexpensive.

      Also, avoid caffeine, for eight hours before, when you don't "wish" to go often. In soda pop, in coffee, whatever.

        I have these little port o john's, they are cups with a bag attached filled with a gel that congeals when you pee into it. I know that people use these camping and doing athletic runs and just anywhere when a bathroom is iffy.
        I'm sorry I can't get to them right now to give you more specific product info. Perhaps tomorrow if you are interested. Bought them off Amazon I think.....
