Am genuinely interested in how people are managing this.

Lots of people are now going round to sit in family/friends gardens to chat and drink. Or driving for a walk, but if the walk has to be longer than the drive, then you’re away form home for quite a period of time. Or queueing for the supermarket for an hour before even getting in the door to start your weekly shop, and the supermarket have closed the toilets.

How are you all managing if you’re like me and need to wee quite often? Presumably you can’t go into the house of the person who’s garden you’re sitting in. I can’t be the only one who needs to wee more often than once every few hours!

I'm struggling with this! My commute from work to collect DC from school is an hour. I used to have a few pubs near the school I could nip into after the journey to use their loo if deaperate!

Similar issue here. No desire to give up and my long walks and need to shop, so have stocked up on Tena Lady silhouette pants. They’re genuinely excellent. I don’t always need a wee but on the occasions I have, they’ve handled it perfectly - no smell, no wetness, not obvious. Would highly recommend.

The toilets in the supermarkets are open. The public ones in the centre of our small town are not though.

Even with mask and gloves, would be v reluctant to use public loos. A heavy pad or some discrete incontinence pants seem a far better option, especially if it’s “just in case”.
