Today I pissed on the back seat of the car...

I've read a few threads that say 'why do people keep asking where you're going to go to the toilet?' Well... I'll tell you why.. it's because it's a very very important issue with the current lock down rules.

I've not name-changed so I can't be accused of being a piss troll.

I set off today to see my mum. A 1hr drive. I've done it once before and the last time I went with the strategy of being dehydrated. It worked but caused a huge headache.

However, this time, we wanted to meet for longer than just a quick walk: a picnic was planned. So, with my birth injuries plus my diet coke addiction, I formulated a plan: 3 nappies double bagged to make a 'travel potty'.

I felt confident. Liberated even. I drank my coke with zero trepidation. On my return journey I pulled into a secluded layby and retired to the back seat to make use of the 'travel potty'. As I finished, on looking down, I was just in time to see the huge puddle soak down into the seat.

I fear that the bit-of-a-rub with a wet wipe may not have done the trick. Tomorrow, I need to come up with an excuse to go out in the car so that I can sprinkle bi-carb and drive around with all windows open before my husband finds out and files this under 'unreasonable behaviour' in the divorce proceedings.

WIBU to piss in the car!? Has anyone else resorted to such barbaric ways during these unprecedented times?

This cracked me up. Sounds like the kind of idea I'd have.

I once tried to have a piss in a travel potty in the car park of the NEC whilst in the driver seat of an ML. Sadly I couldn't get the seat back far enough. Was a long wait...

Pick up a hitch hiker and blame it on them

45redballoon · 29/05/2020 01:12

I'd love there to come a time when we all just agree not to judge each other, especially women, for weeing outside in bushes. Why is there all this drama? Everyone gets caught short now and then... its surely better to wee outside than all over your car?

draughtycatflap · 29/05/2020 01:16

For goodness sake... Just do what I do and put my cat litter tray on the backseat. It’s super absorbent with liquids. If I need a poo it’s easily scooped. I’m fussy about smells though so I wind down the window after and fling it at the dog walkers.

Barearseloverofthigh · 29/05/2020 01:23

OP, have you tried getting your back seat into your dishwasher?

draughtycatflap · 29/05/2020 01:34

If I don't remove all my lower clothing, I piss all over it. Not sure whether my pee comes out at an unsual angle (might do, I have an unsual angle on my womb)

Unusual angle? Like the Bellagio fountains?

packetandtripe · 29/05/2020 03:52

yea published, OP you dirty ape.

ThighThighofthigh · 29/05/2020 06:58

Quim I was not wearing a skirt, it was winter and I was wearing a lot of clothes. The pee filled my trainers.

I lifted my leg to get in the car and suddenly started to pee, like a dog.

I always make sure to wear trainers 2 sizes bigger than i need when going out for the whole day. Saves me worrying if i'll be able to get to a loo in time.

Always a good idea to carry an empty pizza box too 🤣

avamiah · 29/05/2020 17:30

I would of just took a bucket to be honest .

Important information: She Wees only work well if;

  1. You can point the spout downwards
  2. You haven’t got a full bladder and therefore a lot of volume coming out at once.

I heard somewhere Blush

Noconceptofnormal · 29/05/2020 17:46

I don't believe this is real, even if this did happen, why on earth did you start a thread on thd Internet about it?

I agree about the point on lockdown and toilets, but this story didn't need sharing to make it, as people say there's so many other alternatives that would have been simpler and more effective solutions.

Margerine78 · 29/05/2020 17:53

Full disclosure, I went on Amazon yesterday to search 'female travel urinals' for this very reason. All my family live a 1 hour + journey away, its too far to drive, stay for any decent length of time and then drive back without a toilet break. I think they'll be many damp car seats during Corona... ps. Sorry, no idea how to clean it other than soap, water and a good scrub?

Aglet · 29/05/2020 18:13

I think you are possibly very eccentric, or mad.

bigmumsymcgraw · 29/05/2020 18:22

What mind thinks up a triple nappy potty Cant u just stop car and piss in a bush like anyone else?

chickenfoot74 · 29/05/2020 18:27

Bless you! I've used a travel potty/Potette before whilst camping. Genius invention.

Apple1029 · 29/05/2020 18:28

I can't believe a grown woman , who has a child would feel the need to share this. You're embarrassing.

kennycat · 29/05/2020 18:29

I’m not sure my wee muscles would allow me to wee on a seat!
Bravo for trying though.

EmpressoftheMundane · 29/05/2020 18:29

Perhaps next time “pop a squat” in the lay-by behind the car?

Not ideal, but better than all that rigamarol and zero chance of flooding the back seat.

LovelyIssues · 29/05/2020 18:31

You had your drink on the back seat and it spilt

CountryGirl1234 · 29/05/2020 18:38

Just order some portable potty’s they’re basically a bag you can piss in with crystals that soak it all up.

Yearcat13 · 29/05/2020 18:47

Can you not just have an outdoor piss. Pull up somewhere, find a hedge. How do you think people managed before public toilets or how the millions of people in the world without toilets manage. It's not that big a deal.

Chig · 29/05/2020 18:48

Tena lady if you are that desperate then you can just go when you feel the need.

Dougalthesyrianhamster · 29/05/2020 19:09

I once began haemorrhaging into drivers seat 5 weeks after birth Confused Never got it out. Regularly feel sorry for the new owners of the car.
