I use stuff they make for runners to reduce chafing. One stick lasts forever. I use it for thighs and it works great— clear. Lasts all 12 hr shift. body glide
It's This Thing plus a tarp and washcloth. I soap up the washcloth, scrub nastiness, and off camera is a small metal can that holds about 2 liters of water. I sat on the arm rest and rinsed off. The tarp funnels out of the truck with the door slightly open and Ideally into a bucket but I only caught a little water--the rest is all down the curb. So, that'll take some adjusting. I have curtains on the window and a windshield screen. I have the curtain set up so that it blocks the little bit of sight from the door being ajar.
It all worked pretty well! My ass was sliding all over the tarp, but I managed Not to slide out butt ass naked onto the busy park field.
Many states have passed the Restroom Access Act (Ally's Law) for people with specific medical conditions to have access to bathroom. You can also request for a card here.
In any case, I too have a similar set up, but in my car in case of an emergency in the middle of a drive. It's a bucket but with a toilet seat that you can get on Amazon
I just use a jug for the tent, but when I'm out and about I keep a Travel John in my bag. It turns your pee into a gel.
I had to leave the man burn a few years ago cause I was about to pee my pants. I almost had to stop and piss on the open playa it was that bad (I made it to the portos somehow). They are cheap insurance and they make them for men, women, and kids.
If you have room in your vehicle I would suggest that you get a lugabaloo. It’s basically a five gallon bucket with a toilet seat as the lid. It’s awesome! I live full time in my vehicle and I almost never use public restrooms. Granted I do have a minivan so I have a little more room. I just double bag it with trash bags and I use kitty litter to kill the scent. Works wonders! And it’s very comfortable too. It’s about the average height of a regular toilet. I sh*t and piss in peace errday.lugabaloo
Can't go wrong with a bucket, cheap, easy and effective, plus its always around when you need it for other things. They even make toilet seat lids for a standard 5 gal bucket to make life easy.

Thos ones the easiest if you're put in the sticks.
I'm about to invest in emergency mess bags for this reason. For vomit and if I can't make it the bathroom. The ones I'm looking at turn the fluids to gel and you can seal the bag and toss it. They're called TravelJohns
1) I fly over the great lakes in my 1968 Mooney M20F regularly. I ensure that my altitude puts me at about no more than 10 minutes of "exposure" not being able to glide to shore, I ensure that everything is running very smoothly before I hit the commitment point, and I know the risk. The 10-minutes window in cruise is not typically where things go wrong.
2) LIMG to LFKC is 96nm. That's about 45-50 minutes over water. If you're in cruise, and the plane is well maintained, I see that as about the same risk as (1) above.
3) Get these, and an old bath towel for cover.
Amazon or any store that sells camping gear, Canadian Tire, etc.
I just got this one for camping: https://www.amazon.ca/The-Coleman-Company-2000014865-5-Gallon/dp/B0009PUT20
Seems pretty solid all around except the shower nozzle doesn't actually stay in a closed position... which is kinda dumb but you only are supposed to hang them up when actually using them and it was $10.
I am not expecting to actually use it as a shower at Shambhala because there will likely be nowhere to put it for that, but it'll be nice to have some warm/hot water available without having to turn on the camp stove.
https://www.amazon.com/Ivation-Portable-Outdoor-Battery-Powered/dp/B00IFHFJXI - I've used this for a few years now. Great because you can basically use it in any water source, and the pressure is pretty comparable to a shower. In a 5 gallon bucket you get about 5 minutes of water. You can find it all over amazon and at walmart for ~$30
I’m sure there’s some device you can buy for women but I can’t vouch for it !

Duh? Now you can pee everywhere. 😐
I have a camp shower that's perfect for this. It's USB battery rechargeable, sucks up the hot water from your SV tub and showers you with the hot water.

This was a game changer our 2nd year. I usually rinse off over grass to get the dirt off and then I stand in a dish washing bucket for the rest to get more use out of my water. My husband and both showered daily with this all on one charge.

They have free cold showers in the water park area and you can pay for hot showers. I’ve never tried hot showers, but I’ve never had to wait behind more than 1 or 2 people for a cold shower. You could also look into something like this https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000014865-5-Gallon-Solar-Shower/dp/B0009PUT20/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=KBFV3KNJ1YXH&keywords=camp+shower+bag&qid=1552399735&s=gateway&sprefix=camp+shower&sr=8-2
I personally didn’t find it too useful for our group of 18. Only 7-8 ended up using it. Went as far as to buy the shower head attachment for a more glamping type experience.
First problem is filling up water which may or may not be a line for that wait, especially in the mornings when others are also bringing their portable showers or kiddie pools to fill up.
Second problem is the water doesn’t last very long if you use the shower head attachment. It’s a nice luxury to have but carrying the water can be a bitch, especially when, with the attachment you only get three showers per fill. If you go without the attachment and just do this one you maybe get five showers per person. It does the job but never left me feeling truly clean. Wet wipe shower is only a notch or two below how I felt after that version of a camping shower.
I have all the same methods, except I use one of these for water delivery.
Urinals in the ladies would be a revolutionary idea. The queues I see coming out the door is always for the ladies.
You may have to add these to the dispensary machine for it to really make a difference though.

It's not necessarily a daily use item...because it will get damaged at some point, particularly if you fill it too high. solar shower bag 5 Gal
But it's a low cost solution to a human necessity, particularly after a day working outside...getting that shower outdoors under the trees was the high point of my day...every single day during this Summer.
Just need the proper adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Urination-Silicone-Portable-Standing-Activities/dp/B086YGFJNK Often used outdoor.
Have you all tried body glide for anti chaffing? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IBVUY6Y?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=tristanpope-20&linkId=558593447c81272b4693aaf5c5865ca1&language=en\_US&ref\_=as\_li\_ss\_tl
For those of us without a penis, they’ve recently come out with various types of funnel like devices that are primarily for use when away from restrooms (out for a hike, on a drive with nothing around for miles, etc.), that enable us to stand and pee, instead of having to completely pull our pants down and squat. I have never personally used one, but I can definitely see how it would work. Your anatomy is obviously different than mine, but I wonder if one of the flexible silicone styles with a larger cup would be a viable solution? Here is a link for what I’m talking about: LINK
As a hiker, this has been life changing. Now I pee against trees. And never have to sit on a public toilet seat.
If you are Canadian, you can get these off the shelf at Canadian Tire, or off of Amazon like the link I provided.
While I commend your ingenuity, the fabric makes this impossible to clean or sanitize. Even if it was only MY OWN shit stains on the material... I wouldn't be able to sit on this more than once.
