even better you can rig up a long hose (does this make your cath DIR?) and stick it out the window of the truck on your drive home.
The realities of adult diapers with dry suits?

*Actually.. with the mens Depends that go on as a baby diaper and secure with either tape or button at the upper front (not the full underwear set-in type), you can remove and replace after dropping your dry suit and undergarment to waist level...of course being 'aware' of your surroundings at all times--'practice makes perfect' , then dispose the used one in a plastic bag.

You can remove the incontinence pad in a similar manner as well, it is just not somthing I would encourage anyone to do in public.

pee slow.
in my few (ten or so) diaper dives, i have never had one leak. But i try very hard to pee slow.
i use depends pull ups. and the hardest part for me - is buying them.

You may not be able to remain in place, depending on current, although facing the correct direction or utilizing a back kick can help with that, too. But you should be able to hover at the same depth, no matter what you are doing. It does take some time to learn how, though, especially if you are adding the task loading of removing your regulator, drinking, and replacing the reg.
I like the pull ups if the dive site is closed and privacy is avlb......but if at an open site I find the method I described above (#32) works fine...course not standing on a beach or open deck of a boat with 'everyone' starring.
Buying them...I am sorta old so knowone looks at me funny I guess,,,if they did I would just ask them 'what you staring at-BOO'!! LOL

My ballarina pull ups fit me a lot better then the bulky depends, but if I'm really hydrated (which i should be) I find that even peeing slowly does not result in everything being completely contained. Do you have that issue?
Well I can't say I do to any uncomfortable sense ....but I fully understand your issue there and see it could be a problem....hmmmm....I have on rare occasion had a minor amount of leaking,....still better than springing a p-valve leak though as we guys can. Hope you can find a workable solution.
