    Can you tell me how you deal with #1 & #2 breaks? I drink alot of pop and can pee 10 times a day easy. Do I cut back on pop or can I pee as I drive?

    it would be a good idea not only to reduce #1 breaks but also for your heath to cut back on your pop intake.

    Cut back on 'pop' find something else to drink.

    But might try to drink a little less anyway.
    For long haul 10 times a day will be little much.
     
    Jeck Thanks this.

    Your right. It's diet pop which is also bad for you. It is the caffeine I am addicted to

    I am diabetic and am on a medication that causes me to have to urinate every 3 to 4 hours. You do when you have to stop. Since I have to stop every 3 hours as it is for a load check, well that's when I go

    I drink a LOT of water for optimal health; and pee alot too.
    Purchased a Duro-Med Portable Men's Urinal from Amazon.
    Very uncomfortable. Sheath is too thick and skin couldn't breath.
    Will try another portable urinal brand.
    Looking at Stadium Pal. Skin not breathing issue still a concern.
    Worth a try though.

    You will have to cut back on the drinking. I'm in the same boat. So I will just sip water every 30 minutes
