Can you pee standing up .....not entirely kidding here.

At the very least you might be able to use something like this

www.tripneeds.com/shewee-portable-urine-...for-women-p-171.html

It beats the hell out of having to peel down the drysuit exposing yourself to the elements.
They are not ideal, and may take some practice to use effectively, but it is an option

Playak ladies, answer please! :)

Until then, let me add my $0.02:

Palm and Kokatat have drysuits for ladies. Palm has one with a 'front relief zipper with modesty panel', and Kokatat has a 'drop seat'.

As for stand-up-p , don't forget go-girl www.go-girl.com/ . Any ladies out there who actually tried it?
If you're happy, you're successful.

to be honest the hole relief zipper thing plus shewee would be messy. Companies make woman models for a reason but if your a woman who can pee like a man go for.
I don't own a drysuit but if i did i'd either get a two piece. ie dry cag and trousers , or id get the womans model...

Most all the females that are boating here in North Eastern Wa. and North Idaho use the Female version from Kokatat with dropseat.

I use the Freshette--most 'devices' for women are generally the same idea: cup with a tube/hose for the urine. I like the Freshette because it has a REALLY long tube. (Sheesh--that could be interpreted in more than one way :ohmy: ) The tube length (okay, now I'm giggling) is important because you want that pee to get far away from your body--it's also easier to direct than if it were a molded part of the device like most designs. Yes, I have written my name in the snow :woohoo: Living in snowy climes was actually the reason I decided to get the Freshette--I've had to bare my bum in negative degree weather more times than I like. With the Freshette, it's just zip, stick in the cup and bam--insta-guy!

These devices are also great for the modest person urinating in mixed company. Just make sure the cup empties completely--I did have one 'accident' on a climbing trip. Luckily, I'd made friends with some campers who had an RV and I could shower up. Embarrassing, though.

That being said, I'm a huge fan of these things and recommend them to all women! Quite often, I've seen them come with drysuits.

(Lord help me--after reading through this, my mind has completely fallen in the gutter) :S
