Getting taken short when in the middle of nowhere.

You need a few practice runs ( ha ha) before you use it outdoors. There is a knack I understand.

I must tell you a story I was in a country area desperate for a wee saw a tree and bush up a hillside went round behind it so no one would see me, knicks down, pure relief, looked up mid stream to Realise there was a pathway above me in full view of my toilet ?

OMG BlueBelle

You're right silverlining48. Practise definitely makes perfect but it's not that difficult to get right. The hardest bit is letting go when you're still standing up

I heard Poundland were selling these a while ago.

I did read that it is a good idea to practice in the shower

Oh Bluebelle even if no one was there you must have felt there were!

I practiced with my SheWee in the shower first! The trouble is mine is one of the originals and it’s bright pink! Even in its case I find it rather obvious and feel that everyone knows what I’m carrying.

The only advise I would give is be very careful if you have to pee facing uphill. It’s the only time I’ve come to grief with mine as I failed to realise how steep the slope was and didn’t lean forward enough.

I’ve never got the hang of my shee wee.

I walk and cycle a lot and am very often having a discreet wee in the countryside. If anyone gets a flash of white bum so be it. We all look much the same!

My problem is not so much bladder related as bowel related. I have itratable bowel due to cancer op a while ago and i get caught short bowelwise. Is there a gadget for that.
At present i have to take antidhiarrea meds just in case if i go out

I’m afraid I do the same as BlueBelle and mumofmadboys and if caught short when outside in the countryside I partake in a wild wee. More tricky in town though since all the public loos are now closed.

I'm a rambler. I do wild wees, but watch out for thistles and nettles. Not something you want around the nether regions.

I love the name ‘wild wees’ I ve never had a name for it I like this one

Perish the thought.
Black trousers and a couple of incontinence pads and keep walking

It's why we bought a campervan Ethelbags!

ethelbags: for years now I’ve had to take Imodium before going on a bus/train journey. Ditto trips to the theatre/cinema. I sometimes think a placebo could work just as well but I daren’t risk it.

I always remember my Mum asking me if I wanted to 'spend a penny' while we were on a day out in the car. I hopped out of the car looking for the shop to spend a penny!
My problem is the number twos! - as I have a condition that can make it imperative that I find a loo within about 5 minutes or I'm in trouble and I've never seen anything available to help with that.

When I was in France with my Mum some years ago, we both needed a wee. At that time I had a car with no sliding doors so you could open both doors and have some privacy while having a 'wild wee'. Somehow she manged to wee down the side of the driver's seat! I was so glad it was her turn to drive!

Yep. You have made my mind up I’m getting one too. Thank you for the info you are a star. I’ve never heard of one but am getting one today. ??

Frog lady! ?????

I was just thinking last night about opening a post for something like this.....spooky.
Were of for a weeks holiday in the countryside and I'm worried I'm goi g to get caught short if the loos are closed as I unfortunately have incontinence lol. No hear of a Shewee but sounds a good idea assuming I'm not in the middle of a town! Jokes aside it is concerning for me!! Will definitely keep an eye out for footpaths and slopes though ??

Try Tena products give you peace of mind.

I've recently bought one of those (there was a similar thread on here recently about all the public loos being shut). So far have practiced at home with mixed success. I got mine because of going on motorcycle rides and being worried about being caught short - it's impossible to ride a motorcycle with your legs crossed! However still not a solution in urban areas. If of any help to you all, my studied research into the shewee has concluded that loose knickers work best, a skirt or dress is fine, jeans do still need easing down a bit out of the way, and so far I haven't dared try it with tight leathers! I fear that I'm still going to have to treat the world to a partial mooning, and a pretty large full moon that will be!

Etheltbags1 I have the same problem. I should take out shares in Imodium, it's the only way I get to go anywhere and even then not very often. It seriously restricts my life. We are going out today, the first time for 5 months, and I'll take Imodium before we leave and wear protective underwear and hope for the best. But the anxiety rather spoils any day out.

Bluebelle I feel that it doesn't matter if someone sees you, they don't know you, hopefully, and you will probably never see them again. I am a great hopper for going behind a bush, been doing it so long that I have it down to a fine a art and could win a gold medal in how quick I can wee!. Always wore a skirt when abroad and travelling, then no-one sees your bum.
