Oo la La !
All of us ladies should read about this newer, more ‘Convenient’ design, invention by Frenchwoman Magali Chailloleau. (read about it, at the top of page 10, June Connextion)
She says, the flexibility and different designs, will make it a success?
Evidently girls ‘when you need a loo, you use this handy gadget, STANDING UP!
The article follows up by saying, it can be used without undressing! (Phew)
Magali advises that we all try it out at home, until we are confident, before we are out and about with it!
Does any one know what it looks like?This Creases Me! especially when I think of Billy Conneleys ‘Incontinent knicker sketch’!
No offence to anyone, I ‘go’ much more than most, (because I am always laughing!)
Must dash off now, really need to spend a penny!
Here I sit, broken hearted,
Payed my Penny and only farted.
The ‘Shewee’ has been around for ages and I couldn’t be without mine. You need the extension tube to be able to pee like the boys though!

Well we have all been driving along when you see the male species looking at the ditch, but the poor French ladies have to park up, have both side doors open to have a private moment.
My most memorable moment was in Belgium, went into the ladies and Oh into the gents, met in the middle, each went into a room with a waist high ‘door’ with people going past. Weird !
Hi virago, thank you for the link.
I remember seeing antique blue and white smaLL china vessels in a museum. They where ‘used’ by ladies wearing huge Victorian Crinoline gowns, travelling in horse drawn carriages!
Hi Blue,
We use to visit France in the 1980,s when most Loos on the main services, where the old fashioned standing ones (feet on either side) The art of flushing, was to run as near to the door as possible, before the huge wave of water would swill the loo floor and everything or anybody in it,s path!
Better days now, when most large supermarkets have toilets.
Oh yes woody, I remember them well, desperate, I said to my OH I have to go, we dived into a bar, and I asked for 2 coffees and the key for the loo, out the back! I went, and OH came out after a while and asked if I was ok? I said there are two foot plates, I’m in trousers trying to wee standing up without wetting my trousers, hilarious! It’s an art form for ladies!
On the same subject, I happened to be in Zurich, beautiful city, went in search of the ladies, all stainless Steel, and clean so clean, I was observing all this,(seated) when, suddenly, the whole lot automatically flushed with ice cold mountain waters, I nearly went into orbit! Big surprise
Absolutely, Virago. Essential piece of randonnee equipment. It’s brilliant !!
Re the EU stay or leave “experts”. I think that is exactly what is happening. We are being pisse-debout!
When we were in Paris many, many moons ago we came upon an “automatic” loo which, at that time looked a bit like something very futuristic. Our daughter, a little girl at that time, when she realised it automatically cleaned after each use, I swear thought that a hand was going to come up the pan with a scrubbing brush while she was using it, I went in with her of course and when the door opened she shot out like a bullet!
Yes I remember those automatic jobs, I never dared to go in because I worried I would be locked in or doused in water!
I must admit they were a bit scary BV
There is one somewhere made of one way glass. Apparently sat inside you can see the passers by but they cannot see you!!!
I was in a nightclub in Mexico city back in the early 80’s when I was caught short by Montezuma’s revenge so I rushed into the men’s toilet. There was one potty and one alone. Not only was it not enclosed and therefore open for all to see but it had a spotlight shining on it. I had no option. I guess they thought it was trendy……….I didn’t.
I was just outside Paris with a coach load of kids and a few teachers and a couple of parents when they decided a toilet stop was needed so I took them to a small town which had a new fangled toilet installed, trouble was it took ages every time it was used it cleaned itself, SO one of the teachers decided that since they all only wanted a wee she would stop the door from closing brilliant 40 kids and 4 teachers and 1 parent later all went well so in goes the last parent and the teacher thinks that’s ok she can look after herself and lets the door close and starts to return to the coach when this loud scream comes from the toilet
Whoops the toilet now thinks at last the door is closed and does a full clean which involves not only the toilet but also rinses the walls, the poor lady now emerges from the toilet thinking white jeans and t shirt was not the best option for the day, she was soaked and 40 kids can be so insensitive at times !
Anne and I honeymooned in Zeralda, Algeria. I also got Montezuma’s revenge whilst in the village and I asked in the bar for a toilet and was waved through a door at the back. It led to a courtyard surrounded by houses and the toilet was a hole in the middle of the courtyard with a 45 gallon drum of dettol water next to it for washing afterwards! Needs must, so the rest as they say is history!
