Cindy,

Most women who need the information probably know this site already (so I gather from the X-country women in our club):

http://www.freeflight.org.uk/plumbing/.

A number of alternatives are listed but the cross-country women who fly at our club seem to find the last option listed the most satisfactory - under the heading "In-Flight Toilet for Female Pilots". The German women's Team solution. I understand the gadgets are available from the email address given. Not sure if the price is current. They can be used with bags as discussed or can be connected to a pee tube - dealer's choice.

Generally, this is very much Secret Women's Business (Oz joke).

This thing should whistle Dixie, Battle Hymn of the Republic or your downloadable choice - Rain by Beatles? Have You Ever Seen the Rain Fogarty?

They were extremely quick in answering my email.

I know the male version has been used in gliders. Probably the nicest thing
I can say about it is that the container is not transparent. They probably tested it enough to be assured it functions well(for the F-35. etc.). The thing that concerns me the most? Another set of batteries to charge, or get cold and fail. And there's something creepy about electrical contacts that close to me. Probably less creepy for you fellows, again.

Their literature suggests that with good hygiene and peroxide, you can expect to get about five flights or fifteen days from the pads. That backs out to $100 per Aaaaahhhh, at 15 uses.

This thread just won't wilt.

Happy New Year,
