Preferred Piss Vessel

[201er]

Bottle, bag, little john, tube, depends, or land every time? Do you shell out for professional products or use household items (ziplock, gatorade bottle, etc)?

[A64Pilot]

I’ve had a little John forever, rarely use it, but carry it.

We removed piss tubes from Army aircraft in the 80’s, reason was corrosion.

Depends? really?

Anyone found a solution for women in Mooney cockpits?

There’s always the Lady J adaptor under accessories for the Little John

Gatorade bottle is the bomb.

The ex wife had no problem with the Lady J. The current wife won't even try.

The opening is not big enough.

I prefer the urinal in the FBO. But having been raised primarily on I-95, I don't have bladder issues. 

Then again, I also don't have fuel for your 10-12 hour flights, and I start getting restless much after 3 hours anyway. I've gone 4:45 twice, really needed to stand up, stretch and walk around!

750 ml?!?  The minimum volume should be at least one liter.  Travel Johns fit the bill, and they solidify to avoid spills.  Also available from Amazon.

You are getting too excited about the whole process! Besides you just need to get the tinkle in there, not the whole thing. Perhaps a Mayonnaise jar would work for you?

Extra large diameter “a necessity”

The 64oz Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice bottle has a large opening and works great.

I recently moved away from my antifreeze jug and went this nice update of a classic hospital design - high capacity, wide neck, opaque (less ick factor), broad stable base (low spill potential).

 I did find this pilot relief tube-like design intriguing though when shopping:

There's also one that serves all the possible combinations of biological sex, gender identity, pronoun preference, political ideology etc.:

I second the Travel John. No worry about spills.

my wife found that a smallish zippered insulated lunch bag (water tight) is most comfortable ....she is than responsible for cleaning the thing ...also states in a emergency it would also work well for #2...thank god havent had to test that out!!!!

Apply sauce jars.  Big volume, big opening

[TTaylor]

I have images in my Photo Album from back in 2013 for the same subject.  Quart Slider Zip-Lock bags with a Depends maximum pads.  The pads absorb the liquid and make it solid so it does not spill.  I use them in my glider, but carry a few in my flight bag as well.

Where is Piloto ???

Now here we go, a good classic to add to our Mooneyspace banter.  I nominate this thread for thread of the month.

If you have to bad enough, you can pee in a coke can, trust me

Mom used a Folgers crystals coffee can. It had a plastic lid to seal it up when done. 
 

[carusoam]

I carry ziplocks and paper towels for generic purposes…

Once or twice, they got used for this purpose…

The kids have filled them after a bout of turbulence…

 

I like the ziplock because it is an extruded product… compared to the blow molded bottle… lots of flexibility…

The kids like the ziplocks because they learned what food looks like after it has been eaten…

Best regards,

My plane can only hold seven hours of fuel, so this has never come up.  Do you all have long range tanks or just really small bladders.

It's probably due to the aging pilot population . . . .

Staying awake and hydrated is more important than trying to hold it in. I usually take a leak an hour before landing so that I can plan the approach with a clear mind and not feel rushed. Let everyone else make a run for the bathroom the moment the propeller stops and I can take my time tying down.
