... 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

Ugh please don’t pee in the pool...... no excuse if you are an adult

@Swiftnicola

Pull the gusset to the side and keep your hand well out of the way)
How does everyone do this and not piss over their hand? (Not saying that is exactly what happened to me....but you know, hypothetically)

(It did happen to me)

DerbyshireGirly · 29/09/2020 20:11

Just have a sea wee.

Hate the word gusset

@Susannahmoody

Hate the word gusset
Alternative word being?
KindKylie · 29/09/2020 20:18

I just pull to the side, I could never get a wet costume up and down without twisting

I've taught the dc this trick too

tinkywinkyshandbag · 29/09/2020 20:21

You lot weeing in the pool are mingers, sorry but to use an overused MN word, that's grim

Willowkins · 29/09/2020 20:23

Just to add to the gusset thing, make sure you have toilet paper ready in your other hand. You're welcome.

Pmsl at the comments on this thread 😂🤣😁 Makes me feel glad my pool hasn't reopened since covid 😉

BreatheAndFocus · 29/09/2020 20:42

I always pull mine down because I don’t want to stretch the gusset by pulling it to the side each time. I’m paranoid it will go saggy and reveal too much when I’m swimming or getting out of the pool 🤣

I don't want to brag or anything, but.. I pull to the side and I've never had a saggy gusset.

Life is too short to take off a wet swimsuit to have a pee Grin

MJMG2015 · 29/09/2020 20:54

I can't believe people mess around taking swimwear off to wee. Not that a huge effort is required to keep your hand out the way. I've never wet my hand, but never given it any particular thought!!

Serengetiqueen · 29/09/2020 21:02

Gusset puller here but only if I’m 100% confident of zero rear-end follow through ...so not after a moules marinieres lunch! Recent wax also vital.

TheClitterati · 29/09/2020 22:32

Gusset puller here.

@BonnieMcflurry

Why everyone lying like they don't pee in the pool
Because pissing in the pool is disgusting but you crack on. Hope you don’t live near meHmm
lachy · 30/09/2020 13:55

I don't pee in pools! I can put my hand on my heart and say I've not done it since I was a small child.

I don't even pee in the sea.

Rainb0wDrops · 30/09/2020 13:57

Mind blown! Always struggle with a wet cossy.

Hyperfish101 · 30/09/2020 21:12

I my have weed in the pool as a child but certainly not an an adult..ugh.

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 30/09/2020 21:15

I wore a bodysuit thing to the pub last time I went Out Out and had a few gins. I thought I’d be clever and do a gusset pull wee.

I will never attempt that again, even sober. Far too risky in my experience.

Wotrewelookinat · 01/10/2020 16:33

That’s just grim that adults consider it ok to wee in a pool 🤮. Thank goodness I’ve taken to open water swimming over lockdown and have no intention of going back to a pool.

OneFiveFour · 01/10/2020 16:37

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar

Mind blown! I always take mine off! I had no idea most people just pulled the gusset sideways.
Me too!
Swiftnicola · 01/10/2020 16:41

I thought only I did!

BexR · 01/10/2020 16:44

Gusset grab

I hate pool toilets. The not knowing if the wet seat and floor is piss or pool water. But I wouldnt piss in the pool.

I once tried to piss in the sea and my body wouldnt let me do it. Pretty odd given it happily lets me piss myself if I cough.

HowFastIsTooFast · 01/10/2020 16:48

Gusset to the side, always!!

Those of you peeing in the pool, fucking grim!

The sea is perfectly acceptable to pee in, anything smaller than an actual ocean that you are sharing with other people is a hard no.
