How to pee as a woman on kili
For my ladies, how did you pee mid-hike without getting pee on your ankles/pants? Kind of an embarrassing question lol but I haven’t read much about this topic on the subreddit. My current strategy is to:
-
Tuck any extra fabric around the ankles into socks/boots
-
Drop pants above knees
-
Squat as low as possible and spreading the knees as much as possible
-
Slow controlled stream lol
I am also planning on bringing 2 kula cloths and washing 1 every night as per another redditor suggestion.
The 3-4 lower layers I’m planning on wearing on summit night is quite constricting and does not allow for great knee spreading, which adds to my concern.
For those that hiked kili before, do you have any tips? Or should I just mentally prepare to embrace some pee-splattered pants now 🤷♀️ also, how easy is it to just drop da pants and go mid-hike? I think I’m going to have to do this often because even without Diamox I have to go pretty often :/ Thank you in advance!
