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

[AhComeOnNow]

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?

I have irritable bladder and once lost control while driving, it was grim. It cost £60 to get the seats shampooed to get rid of the smell.

The lack of toilets will definitely severely limit me once things ease in Scotland. I've seen people on threads talk about a camping toilet which is essentially a sealable bucket.

I don't have the balance to piss in a layby or bush so might get a shewee to see if it works for me.

Most juice irritates my bladder, fizzy is the worst though.

Wtf... You couldn't have just squatted somewhere in the bushes? Or, you know, don't drink coke??

Next time wear a skirt or dress, that way nobody really sees your fanny while you squat next to the car.

You have solved a mystery of why my friend needed to go to the toilet 3 times as much as me! She drinks diet coke, I drink water. Going on holiday with her could be very irritating constantly having to find toilets in strange cities. Give up the diet coke.

I am very sorry you have birth injuries.
May I ask why you have not got these sorted out?

In the meantime cut out the diet coke, buy a shewee or keep a bucket in the car. Why on earth didn't you line the backseat with a towel and a plastic bin liner if you were going the Heath Robinson route?>>whispers

Just piss outside (or under a bridge)

Ughhhh

shewee, potty, bag of crystals, fabric conditioner bottle / whatever - I can't get my head round the logistics of removing jeans in the car.
Large bush/tree every time.
One of those towel poncho/tent things popular for changing on the 'beach in the 70's?

If it was a secluded lay-by why didn’t you just piss in the bushes or somewhere out of sight ?.

To clean the piss, mix boiling water with a cup of washing powder. Sponge it into the piss. And then some. Really sponge it in.

Leave it for a few hours to dry.

Yes it’s grim but it’s done. Tell your DH you’ve got to clean the car.

And stop the coke and get physio

Oh op, best laid plans and all that! Some good alternative suggestions here. I once had to wee in a nappy in a changing room cubicle - I didn’t know what to do with my 3 month old while I went to the loo and was desperate, it was only a size 3 nappy - it filled up way quicker than I thought! All ok in the end though.

I can’t believe the shock and outrage on this thread though - it’s not in your car and it’s only wee!

Some soapy water/carpet cleaner should do the job, and another vote for pet enzyme spray if there is a lingering smell.

I go walking with my elderly DM at least once a week. We walk miles through woods near her house. Her bladder is amazingly strong. Mine not so much.
To start with I don't drink any tea before leaving my house as that has a diuretic effect ( as surely Coke must have?)
If I need to go I just go behind a bush. So far it's been every walk bar one during lockdown.
It's a completely normal function and something as adults surely we can manage?
I didn't see many public toilets in East Africa when I was there for a month but never wet my self.
Just go behind a bush in future

This is hilarious! Thank you for posting!

They sell those She Wee things in The Range 👍

Lots of different things here, DH uses this brand and Amazon stock some of the things

I agree people have gone insane.

Ridiculous

Think someone has a fixation with piss..

Why on Earth didn't you just find a quiet spot and wee there... i genuine think people have too much time in their hands and create drama issues out of thin air.

Use pet urine enzyme cleaners to clean the car, it will lift the smell.

Have you tried incontinence underwear? Like period underwear they are supposed to work quite well, but I would imagine that means for small leaks. Otherwise a bottle or even travel potty might be an idea or a bag with cat litter in it.

Have you have any help from a women’s health physio? There are a few exercises that can help with urinary incontinence that they can teach you. I had bladder problems after back surgery and nerve damage and the physio really helped. Counter intuitively she advised me to try to delay going to the toilet by a few minutes each time when I felt the urge to try to develop my bladder’s ability to hold more urine in.

I've gone on a child's potty in the boot of the car 7 months pregnant. next time suggest tuppaware, bag with no holes draped over and large sanitary pad stuck to bottom, then hover.

Always have a beach bucket in the boot just in case!

I once had to do something similar and it worked really well. I was in the car waiting for my DS, who had driven to his work to get something from his depot, I wasnt really meant to accompany him to his work so he parked behind a garage, it was late and no toilets were open, he took ages and I was bursting so I weed in the only thing to hand, a costa cup...and then disposed of it, I did wonder what would have happened if someone had peered in and saw me crouching awkwardly over it, but the releif was immense, and the only other option was getting out of the car and going into my sons work to use the loo.

@AhComeOnNow pat dry as well as you can with kitchen roll or a dry towel.
Spray liberally with white vinegar (Wilkos do a spray) or just pour it onto where the stain is. Allow to dry.

Tell your husband and task him with finding you a comfortable way to do it next time.

Can you meet at the beach next time and "go for a swim"

Another vote for pissing al fresco. It’s quite liberating to feel the wind in your bare backside.
