No More Piddle Packs?!
- Thread starter Bolter

I'm not getting the female intentional dehydration thing. Yeah, I've used a piddle pack a couple of times, but on a percentage basis, it works out to a very small problem, something that could be solved by forgoing a preflight Coke vice actually intentionally dehydrating. It's not as if I'm whipping it out every flight. If they took piddlepacks and Gatorade bottles away, I'd grimace and bear it. Am I missing some female bladder detail here?
-60B's I think is what they decided on. Not sure how it ever worked out, though I have to say it was brilliant.
from extensive road trip scientific testing, girls are anatomically and physiologically hard wired to pee every 100 miles, regardless of the length of time it takes them to go that far.
Relief tubes are like guns. You may not need them often, but when you do, you're glad you have'em....
Ok, I was being facetious with my earlier comment, of course I have other reasons for thinking P-3 selection, etc, but ease of peeing is a definite plus.
And for phrog, it's not a bladder issue, it's an aiming issue. I don't know much about fluid dynamics, but I know enough that if you think about the outward makeup of the female body, it's not exactly easy to make the pee go where you want. Hell, even squatting in the woods has its risks (sorry if that's TMI, but it's true!). Have you ever wondered why women get a larger cup during a urinalysis? This is why.

Instead of the "Lady Jay" insert/adapter....why not just use the old O2 mask???

Living the dream
I've flown with chicks that can get in the P-3 head and get done faster than me. Don't ask me how they do it, I don't know, and I don't want to know. All I know is just don't grab the coke bottle cut in half tucked in the corner of the head.
I'm in flight school, so the longest I fly is a two hour hop - no problem. Drink water, hit the head before I walk, hit the head before I debrief if necessary.
Piddle packs/AMXD - that's more of a concern for later in the fleet when I might spend 7-8 hours in the jet - getting dressed in all that flight gear, launching off the boat, executing a mission, refueling, flying, refueling, flying, landing on boat, getting out of plane, getting out of gear, finally seeing a head again. Can you be well hydrated and go 8 hours without peeing? If guys can do that, I'm impressed, but I can't.
Are you for real? When your sea stories start with the underlined, save yourself the trouble.
Yes, I've passed the age of 6, understand the "girls squat to pee thing," and have actually seen a couple vaginas in my day. My point was that I could easily forgo the convenience of a piddle pack. The couple times I used one, I could have waited.
I resisted the relief tube for a while because my on wing had me convinced it would give me gonnasyphaherpalitis. Then I realized lots of other people avoided it for the same reason. Soooo, I figured if everyone is avoiding it. . .
and since then I've enjoyed peeing on many things from a few thousand feet above them. Sometimes, I like to try and aim for cars in the parking lot when on downwind for 13L.
Although the best was the other day when my copilot asked where the relief tube was. . .in the T-44 sim!!

Wait... are you saying that when I feel random "water" drops when I'm outside that it could be a plane flying around Miramar? ... I'm not going outside anymore
