Jumpsuit & Playsuit fans: Don't you ever go to the loo?

The very thought of them reminds me of miserably getting undressed in the loo on ski-ing holidays (and you can forget a quick pee behind a bush!) I thought maybe the jumpsuits now in the shops would be trick items that are really trousers and a top, but no.

Why on earth would you want to undo your top and artfully drape most of the garment over your arm while peeing, taking care to keep it off the floor?

Even worse for me as I sometimes have to change my underwear. Tricky enough with trousers; wide legs are a blessing as they'll go over my shoes! I really wouldn't want to strip off in a pub toilet.

Is there some tactic I've failed to learn, or have you all got cast-iron bladders? Confused

I wee all the time and I love a jumpsuit so while going to the loo is a bit of a pain it's something I put up with.

I won't wear them at festivals though, as someone said upthread, I don't fancy trying to hold it up in a grim portaloo after a few drinks.

I remember a funny thread on MN some time ago, where a woman became trapped while trying on a jumpsuit.

I once got so drunk wearing one that zipped up the back that to this day, I've no idea how I got out of it. All I know is that when I woke up in the morning it was a tangled heap on the floor and my ear was bleeding...

I wear playsuit all the time! Love that I can wear really short ones and I wouldn't wear a dress that shirt. I just pull to the side when having a wee

You must have zipped your ear 😳🤔😂

I once had a Joseph crossover top that was a kind of double knot with sleeves poking out the sides. After nearly strangling myself one too many times, I cut it into very expensive dishcloths.

Well, actually, when I go to the bathroom I have to take off the jumpsuit, but I normally wear a blouse underneath or a sports bra to avoid being naked. I do this mainly when I'm out of the house. When I have to use the bathroom at home and I'm wearing a jumpsuit, I simply undress and remain topless, but I'm in the bathroom at home so I don't feel uncomfortable there.

That’s the only downside … my jumpsuit is so flattering, it doesn’t have a seam at the waist and there is a big tie at the front which hides my big belly. The fabric is a little stretchy so it’s comfortable..it is honestly one of the best clothes items I have ever bought! Lipsy from Next.

I can't do it either, OP. I've been traumatised one too many times by finding a damp patch on a belt or shoulder and trying to work out whether it's from trailing on the floor when I pulled it all down or whether it's got caught underneath me and I've actually weed on it.

I then spend an entire evening sniffing and wondering whether I'm smelling of wee.

ln a public outside public loo in winter (for example in a park) you need to remove your coat and sit on the loo naked to below your waist. I’ve only ever owned one jumpsuit and that went to the charity shop.

I love jumpsuits and playsuits. But going to the loo is definitely annoying. I saw this cartoon once and I think of it every time I go to the loo wearing one:
