French Aire toilets

Had the misfortune to stop at an Aire which had a hole-in-the-ground type ladies’ toilet. How on earth are you supposed to use it?! I was wearing trousers and other than half undressing (with the soaking wet floor...!), it was a matter of balance (whilst contending with a handbag, too) & soggy shoes. I wondered why there was such a queue for the one cubicle! It was the one with the seat!!
Unsavoury subject, I know! But any thoughts...?

Thoroughly enjoying this thread! So many funny stories, and so many experiences I've shared.
I used to cross country ski in Canada, so invested in a onesie undergarment because it had a big U-shaped zip around the bum area. Just the ticket.
But, as the song says, don't eat the yellow snow!

Many thanks, all, for your wonderful responses to my question.
I’ve just looked up Shewee on Amazon...?!!!

Used one once back in the early 70's , hitching through Yugoslavia. There was a huge poster of President Tito staring down at you.
Couldn't manage with my knees these days.
