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???

I wish my mum told me to pull it aside when I was young instead of taking the whole thing off, looking back now all those years of struggling I’m glad I found out on my own that pulling it aside is best, just make sure it doesn't stretch too much and not cover the necessity

It's worse for cyclists with bib shorts .. it's the same problem but must be solved at the side of the road, rather than in the privacy of your own cubicle.
(never, never dump)

Definitely pull it to one side. Having to struggle back into wet swimmers is ridiculous, no one would ever get back in the water if you had to faff around with that.

When out on a boat and in a full body stinger suit they give you jugs in the toilet (that you fill with water from the hand basin that is inside the toilet cubicle) as you need to wee through the suit into the toilet, no way you can get one of those off and on again while wet. You wash the wee off with the water from the jug. It was weird the first time I did it but then meh.

Interested in this thread?

To add, everyone I know that wears wetsuits just goes in the wetsuit while out in the water. Apparently it’s nice and warmHmm. Obviously you can’t get them off/on when wet and washing the outside off with a jug like with a stinger suit is useless as the nature of wetsuits prevents water going in and out so I guess they are between a rock and a hard place Confused.

Yeah just put the gusset to one side. I never even knew any other way existed

Don't give it another thought! best way to do it 👍😉

I can't imagine how just pulling it to the side doesn't result in pee covered hands and/or costume. The margin for error must be very small. Although it's never occurred to me to try.

Just pull to one side, also do this is having a 'wild wee', better than exposing your bum! (only works if wearing a skirt tho!)

I used to just take the whole thing off...

then I switched to bikinis - no drama - then I had a baby and my stomach is not bikini friendly so I’m on the tankini which has resolved all peeing issues!!! Hurrah!
