How do you have a wee in a one piece swim suit?

At dd's swimming lesson today I taught her to have a wee in a wet swim suit by pulling bathers clear right across crotch (in the loos, just to make perfectly clear), thus having a wee, keeping bathers clean and avoiding the whole problem of dragging a wet swim suit on and off damp body. DH horrified, thinks I might as well have shown her how to have a dump in pool.

Is this acceptable???

Well personally i just take the whole lot off, having once had the experience of the gussett slipping out of my hand while weeing. This was while wearing a ballet leotard in the middle of a lesson. It was a looooooong time ago but the horror is still burned on my soul.

I don't think I've ever had a dump in a pool so I can't really compare.

Everyone does this surely, just pull the gusset to the side.

Better than piddling through the fabric.

Should never be attempted with a dry garment, purple!! Grin

Blush I am 29. It has never occurred to me to do that.

Flame · 03/12/2010 21:14

(I take it all off... not pee through fabric btw)

Grumpla · 03/12/2010 21:14

Me neither Flame!

MistressMaker · 03/12/2010 21:14

I take the whole thing off.

Whilst I love anything time-saving that does just sound a bit grim to me.

duckyfuzz · 03/12/2010 21:15

I just pull the whole thing down, like Flame, I had never thought of that (and I'm a fair bit older Blush)

Flame · 03/12/2010 21:15

Oh I feel soo much better now :o I assumed it was one of these things you gits all know about but no-one told me.

MistressMaker · 03/12/2010 21:17

I don't think I could mentally make myself 'go' if I was still wearing it.

Took me about 20 mins to psyche myself up to make myself wee through the whole in my spanx the first time I wore them and I still feel ick about it.

MrsTicklemouse · 03/12/2010 21:17

oh my goodness why have I never thought to do that Xmas Blush, I hate the feel of pulling a cold damp swimsuit down and it never looks right when its back on!

Portofino · 03/12/2010 21:17

I pull the gusset to one side. I thought this was self evident. Blush

llareggub · 03/12/2010 21:19

Pull it across if wet, down if dry. Wet costumes are very difficult to put back on.

Gosh never thought but to take it off.

If wearing an all in one Teddy/body do you also pull to one side?

simba as a 6 foot woman who has never managed to find a teddy that hasn't turned into a camel toe instrument of torture I stay well away from them. But bathers stretch nicely.

With a swim suit I pull to one side, bikini bottoms I pull down. It's not that I'm lazy, it's the effort of pulling up a wet suit over a damp body...almost reminiscent of trying to yank get jeans on damp legs when you notice a 7 year old boy staring at you getting changed. If the suit is dry I'll pull it down, or wee before I need to change.

ChippingIn · 12/12/2010 19:29

Of course you just pull the gusset to one side... I cannot believe that so many of you got to this stage in your life without doing so?

tuggy · 18/12/2010 09:14

I always pull it to the side. I genuinely thought every women in the world did too!!

Mypombearisveryold · 18/12/2010 09:26

I've never thought to do this either, but will now and will teach my dds the same.

Maybe I won't mention it to dh though...

trixymalixy · 18/12/2010 09:31

I always pull the gusset to the side too. Miles easier than pulling on and off a wet costume and miles easier than peeing through the hole in spanx!!!!

ILovedYou · 11/01/2011 17:51

Just pee in the pool - everybody does

Lozz22 · 08/05/2016 03:58

Pull it to aside! Although I am rather ashamed to admit whilst in Cyprus after knocking back my body weight in ouzo specials at the swim up bar I just wee'd through it if I could manage to stagger over to the toilet! Sometimes I'd just pee in the pool providing no one else was in the vincinity of course!! 😅

Constantworkinprogress · 19/04/2018 05:10

I'm 33 and had never heard or thought of this either until 6 months ago when my friend was talking about it. I tried it and I can't believe I was struggling with wet togs my whole life!
