... a wee, do you take the whole lot off or is there an easier way?

Drinking plenty to keep hydrated but a weak bladder and the sound of water is a bad combination! I've noticed that other ladies are in and out of the loos much quicker than me so I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong Blush

Pull the gusset to the side and keep your hand well out of the way)

Fed up with getting stuck with the bloody thing round my hips where it will go neither up nor down!

If it is acceptable to pull the gusset to one side then that would make life a while lot quicker and easier!

I don't think the world needs to see me in a tankini 🤣

Oh yes, always to the side, just hold it quite high so no chance of peeing on your hand

Mind blown! I always take mine off! I had no idea most people just pulled the gusset sideways.

I’ve been scared to do the gusset thing but finally plucked up courage last year. It was fine!

Can't believe some of you were taking the whole swimmy off! I'm far too lazy for that and always get stuck when it won't go back up because it's wet, definitely a gusset side puller here Grin

... I don't even bother getting off the sunbed? Grin

Gusset puller here too but only learned it since I’ve had kids and had to pee fast to keep an eye on them. It’s a game changer

This. Just make your flaps are properly tucked back in.

OMFG how did I not think to do a side gusset

Wtf

Mind blown!

I have a legsuit thingy now so have gone to way too much trouble for decades and how to late Hmm

Depending on the size of the pool and how hydrated you are I wouldn't necessarily bother to get out. Obviously not viable if you're less hydrated but plenty of kids and men are weeing in there already..

Acceptable?! Where are you doing it - the middle of the pool?!

Yes - pull gusset aside
