Bathroomless Train Solution

If I had to, sure. Then again, there's always the fisherman's friend....

In a pinch, sure I would! Like the report says, the wee turns into gel within seconds... so it probably isn't sloppy. A bit more difficult for women, though. Harrumph! And the "fisherman's friend" is ONLY for women.

Kira said: "And the "fisherman's friend" is ONLY for women." Not true, but probably should be. I had the misfortune a few years back of being stopped at a stoplight in my little Subaru Impreza when a guy driving a Cadillac drove right into my back end at 30-35 mph. The reason? He was a bit distracted because he was availing himself of the convenience of the "fisherman's friend" - while driving! Fortunately, my car had airbags. His didn't. He was seriously hurt (steering column into the chest), and I wasn't hurt at all. Now, had he been driving a TRAIN, things might have turned out differently....

I can't see how the fisherman's friend could possibly be "ONLY for women". The description even says it's for men. I can't even imagine how a woman could use it. Guess I'll just have to "hold it".

I'd like to clarify some points regarding "The Fisherman's Friend". The example shown in the web link is in fact a male version, and is exactly the same as those that were provided in the Ambulances when I worked in EMS. There is also a female version, which has a different shape on the top section. Here's an example.

There have certainly been times when I would have paid $100 to pee in a plastic bag and been glad to do it. However, that's obviously not a good daily solution. How could they not put restrooms in a train? How do you handle digestive complaints or sanitary issues? How do you pee in a bag in a crowded train? Will you, will you, on a train? In a bag? In the rain? I will not, will not.

ACK! Kira said the WRONG thing! I meant to say the fisherman's friend is ONLY FOR MEN. Jeepers. That was stupid of me. :D

"Fortunately, my car had airbags. His didn't. He was seriously hurt (steering column into the chest), and I wasn't hurt at all. Now, had he been driving a TRAIN, things might have turned out differently...." Lee is again proved right.

Karen, these trains that will not have toilets (some are already running) are like local trains for short commutes. Subway trains and local buses also don't have washrooms!
