Ladies, if you're ever primitive camping or just hanging out in the woods without access to a loo, do you ever get a tad jealous of how that's not really a problem for a man?

a resounding YES!!

I literally have nothing else to add. lol

My mother loves the story of when I was little and found out it wasn’t possible for me to pee in the yard like the boys. I was so sad. :(

I peed in my shoes. So I was sad that I couldn’t do it and sad I had pee in my shoes.

It’d be no problem for me, either. If I gotta go, I gotta go. I’ll just squat & pee. Been there…done that.

Do you really have to ask this question?

Dear Bendrewim,

Please change the lurve rules, because I need to give @avvooooooo 2983928309834348 great answers.

Thanks :D

Lurve,

I’m a country girl. I have no issues with that.
Maybe finding a bush that’s big enough to hide me..

Of course I would. I’d never be in the woods on purpose though.

You can buy a woman’s helper contraption [!!] now for that tho I can only see it necessary on a looless boat maybe. I lived on a farm with an outhouse as a little girl. Squatting became natural as soon as you sat on the ice cold china pot midwinter just once.

A TAD jealous? Oh, just a TAD.

Ladies, meet the GoGirl.

I’m a country girl too, but I lack coordination. :D

Haha I got really good at in in Spain. At Carnaval all public restrooms are closed and everyone literally pees in the streets. So I got good at both doing it cleanly and holding it for hours.

There’s always this

The only time it was ever really a problem for me was when I camped in -15 degree ice and snow. The guys could just roll over and pee into a pee bottle. Not so with the ladies. Talk about freezing your ass off…

GA to @Facade & @Les – I like Facade saying she would never be in the woods on purpose, heheh, you are a city girl through and through!!!

I spend a fair bit of time in the woods and I wear only shorts with loose legs, for ease of movement and also if you have to go, you just pull the leg over and there you go. No need to squat, just spread your legs a bit. You might get a little bit of splatter on your shoes, but hey, that happens in the squat position too. That is why you should never squat on anything that is non porous.

The go girl looks good, I have used a funnel when all bundled up in ski clothes. They should make one that is one use then pitch, I could be like those old pointed dixie cups that we got snowballs in as a kid. Amazing some smart female hasn’t marketed some such gizmo.

@rooeytoo They do! http://www.femalefreedom.ca/product.htm

hahaha last time i went camping i learned how to squat, drunk.

they still have to wipe. my limit is two nights out, then its a hunting lodge or some motel now matter how primitive

@sliceswiththings – I am going to order some now! They are pretty expensive though. I hope it is a woman marketing them! lurve to you!

@sliceswiththings – It was difficult to figure out where to put the bookmark for those things, hehehe!

Haha @rooeytoo indeed it is. Let me know how they work out, still saving up for some of my own:)

Next time I’m in a waiting room with those pointed water bubbler cups I’ll nab some and make some of my own.

@sliceswiththings Those pointy cups are kinda flimsy. Might wanna use two together.

@avvooooooo Good call. Not as strong as shoes:)

Ah crap… I’m gonna hear about that for a while, aren’t I?

Absolutely.

@Val123 Oooooohh, don’t be impersonating the mods! They’ll do unspeakable things to you! UNSPEAKABLE THINGS!

they might pee in your shoes!!

:D

I’m jealous of men until they have to poop. Then I simply laugh at them.

Haha.
Okay on topic:
My trick is to find a hill and find a low, strong branch. Get a good hold on the branch and lean as far back as possible. The pee will (hopefully) go down the hill and not into your shoes. Feel free to do a few pull-ups on the branch while you’re in the position, good for your arms:)

@avvooooooo A FUD!! Wonderful idea! Gotta get me one! How can anyone do unspeakable things over the computer??

After one memorable stint of four straight days primitive camping I said, “This just can’t be happening any more!!” We had a 20 gallon (I think it’s 20 gallon) orange Rubbermaid cooler like what construction workers use. I cut the bottom out of it, made a trail to the loo place, strung a curtain., dug a hole, put the ex-cooler over the hole, put some TP on a stick, and presto. High class a terlit as you’d ever want! Complete with cat litter on hand. It was like a dream!
Isn’t this beautiful? loo You can’t really see it, but there is a nice, natural trail leading back there. There is a beach by the water with pretty white rock, and I hauled buckets of white to lay down on the trail. Rick says I’m the most lady-like camper he’s ever known!

But a FUD would be great if, like, we just go to the lake for the evening.

I’m okay with peeing outdoors when I’m camping. But, it’s the fact that bugs and ticks might get near my ladybits that freaks me out.

I’ve been places where the campsites had bathrooms…of course when you have to go when it’s pitch black and try to find the way, only to discover you’d rather pee outside…ugh, what a disappointment.

@casheroo Unknown plants is what bothers me and my ladybits.(Love that word!!) And maybe a snake that you missed or something. And bugs. Makes my ladybit backside tingle.

Snuck in, and I’m peeing while standing.

LOL! Well I can too now, so there!! http://www.go-girl.com/

Nah, I just squat and pee behind a bush or tree.

@jmah For me the problem is, especially if you’re with a large group of people, getting to a spot that will afford some privacy. It’s usually pretty far a away, and in the grassy areas of the woods. Whereas a man can just wander over to the nearest tree, lean on it and pretend like he’s just admiring the lake! He can do it it full view, too!

I have a friend who can pee off the back of a moving 4 wheeler. Some people are just better at peein’ outside than others!

AHHHHHH!!!! YOU GUYS!! I JUST REALIZED THERE’S A MAN IN HERE!!! THERE’S A MAN IN THE LADIES ROOM!! Get him out!! screamings and screechings and wailing

@avvooooooo A moving four wheeler? Well, I can pee of the side of a boat. Does that count?

resounding yes…i hate wilderness pee’ing….i fear it ..is there some technique involved? i always prefer to hold it as i am worried i’ll pee on my shoes or something

Well, if you’re out there for days on end, ya might have a problem….

@Val123 I see what you’re saying. Doing the nonchalant pee whilst checking out the Loons on the lake. Yeah, I wish that I could do that.

When I’m with my girls (friends), though, we don’t have a problem peeing in front of each other when camping. It’s just when the boys are around, we then have to sneak off and do our thang.

@jmah Me either. Or with just my husband. And as I get older, I’m actually a little more casual in mixed groups. I used to feel like I had to get as far away as I could, but now….I don’t have a problem with announcing, “Don’t come back here!” and going behind a car that may only be 10 feet away.

Camping? I get freaking jealous of this just on a night of bar-hopping. It takes a long time to drive from the suburbs into the city and find a parking space. If you pre-game with a couple beers before heading out, circling around to find parking can be reeeally frustrating. All the guys can just jump out and pee in the freaking alley, but I have to wait until I’m in the bar and then get in line for the girl’s bathroom. Bastards.

@Haleth Yup!

We all stilll have to poop in the bushes. Unless you can do that standing up, then you get my applause.

@ShiningToast There is that! But, I left that part out. I was pushing my lady-limits as it was!

Sometimes I’d rather find a spot in the woods instead of using a public restroom. Some of them are just so nasty. Just breathing in the fumes makes me feel like I need a shower!

@ItalianPrincess1217 Got that right! so gross, you literally hold your breath when you go in, but even so, the first few breaths you take when you come out and get into the fresh air….frow up!!

Hmm, with a FUD, I might be able to actually write my name in the snow….take that, all you Y-chromosome-owners!

Also, with a FUD, if I understand it correctly, you wouldn’t need to worry about wiping as much. Maybe.

This reminds me… I need to pee in the yard to maintain my spot in the pecking order with the dogs. There’s been some pups that have been gettin’ uppity and I reckon they need remindin’ that there’s a sheriff in this here town.

I use a disposable cup and sprinkle here and there after I pee inside. Its cold out there! And I like my shoes the way they are!

@evegrimm Wiping would still be an issue…if you let it!
@avvooooooo LOL! Just pee on their heads!!

@avvooooooo or on their feet

Have you ever seen the movie Doc Hollywood? It seems that peeing in the woods to foil the hunting of animals was more of a problem for Michael Fox than it was for Julie Warner.

Wanna help me here, she asks?
