LOL.

I can give you a pirep on the Tropicana 96 oz orange juice container, at
least for men, which I used on two across-the-US flights: In two words,
highly recommended. Wide opening,

Okay, quit bragging.

large reservoir for multiple uses during
one flight, white jug keeps contents private.

Be sure to label the jug as not for further consumption.

One tip, though: Don't bother hooking up a funnel and hose to the jug. This
will result in a most undesirable backflow.

How true.

If you were to use a small vent tube in addition to the flow tube, that
would eliminate the backup problem. It is just another point of leakage, so
to speak.

Of course, some of have aircraft with canopies, so theoretically, all we
need to do is slow to an acceptable speed, slide back the canopy, and pee
off the side... grin

Come to think of it, drilling a hole in the floor and running a tube
through there for a relief tube is starting to sound a lot better...

There was a hilarious article in one of the aviation magazines some
years ago with two big guys in a 152 testing the various products.
I remember the line about swooping low over a lake for inspiration....

There was also the story of the ferry pilot, taking a Pawnee
to South America. He drank a bottle of wine and then used
the bottle for relief. At the next border, the customs
inspector was demanding some bribe until he saw the wine
bottle. Confiscated it and let the pilot go. The pilot
departed post-haste.

If you've ever seen the John Wayne movie "The War Wagon", recall the Indian
chief drinking the nitroglycerin.

Carry water to sip and either a gel bag or Little John container and
learn how to use it in flight - removes the stress and solves the
problem. According to Sporty's, they have documented proof that the
Little John has been known to extend the range of a Piper Malibu by 500
miles :-)

A zip lock bag works. We had a few really long legs on our flights in
AU and that's all we had. Worked great. Here in the US we just land
somewhere, but we do have piddle packs, just in case.

A diaper in the 2-gal ziploc bag helps prevent spills. Then the whole thing
goes in a plastic grocery bag and it can be discretely disposed of at the
FBO.

How about cat litter? That stuff will absorbe more than it's own
weight in... ahhh...water. That and should an accident happen it won't
spill and it smells half way decent. If you don't need it you can
always use the excess for cleaning up leaks... Oil leaks!.
