Thanks to Camerone I now have a quick disconnect with check valve on both sides AND an a "wee piece" for those "out of suit" needs.

I think I'll put it on a string so I don't loose it "gee L, nice necklace you have there, is that some kind of new age spirit totem?" "yeah... something like that.. It's my sheep amulet, I am a disciple of the goddess P, I wear it to ward off the evil spirit diapers..."


I will post pictures of

A) setup with the sheep

and

B) another option for those who don't want a quick disconnect... Utilizing a 5 in 1 connector and a piece of silicone tubing. In all honesty, this seems like a great way to go (as another disciple pointed out) to spare the sheep's wenis end from potential wear via many connects and disconnects.

Anyone know the cost of installing a p-valve on a DUI drysuit? Do you generally send it back to DUI to have it done? This looks like a pretty interesting idea. I avoid the drysuit just because I can't deal with getting out of it when I am in dire need. Also never liked the idea of Depends.......

The recommendation from a reputable source was to do my own install.... I purchased a Halcyon Streamlined P-valve, and did it myself. The direction manual for install is outstanding.

Here is a photo step by step of my adventure for my old suit. After doing one, I have no qualms about putting one in my new suit when it arrives

Yes, self-install works well and is much cheaper than the alternatives.

I think DUI wanted $240 2.5 years ago to purchase and install, whereas I got mine for $65 online and paid a buddy 2 beers to make holes in my suit.

I ordered my new drysuit, p-valve, and She-P Friday night. I wouldn't have bought the first two without the third. The DS/P-valve companies should be giving you ladies a kickback for opening a whole new demographic for them! Thanks for making it happen.

Uploaded a set of pictures showing things like tubing extension, Quick disconnects, how to tell a check valve from a non-check valve, taping it all together, etc...

It's at the end of the set...
