Concerned challenger Sue Shellard asked what others do when they’re surrounded by nature, and nature calls. As ever, there was a stream of helpful tips from fellow members…
‘Walk with a friend and they can then be the wee-wee lookout.’
Fiona Hawkins
‘Very stretchy leggings – quick access, up and down, no zips or buttons!’
Lynn Groom
‘Buy a poncho. Nobody can see anything!’
Helen Walker
‘Wear a small Always pad for safety!’
Pamela Wright Brogan
‘I’ve found the most effective and discreet clothing is stretchy shorts or two-layer shorts with stretchy inner and baggy outer. You can make access for a wee through the leg holes and do one standing up without removing any clothing!’
Sarah Poppleton
‘Take a large bin bag – the ones with handles, not drawstring. Cut the base off the bag. You can then wear it with the handles as shoulder straps and it’ll cover your modesty. Make a cut up the back of the bag to enable you to squat comfortably. If getting back up after a wild wee is difficult, lean your back against a tree like you’re doing a wall sit.’
Jenny Mackenzie
‘Get a Shewee, practise at home, then take it with you. It’s an absolute game changer.’
