A reader has sent in this link, also from Autoblog. OK, it’s not for poop, but I couldn’t think of anything better for the article title.
I must confess that I already knew about this (or something very similar) from a while back.
From what I can tell (Autoblog isn’t giving much by way of intructional advice), you stuff one of these in your underpants and just pee yourself whenever and wherever the fancy takes you! The material in the pad turns liquid to gel.
It claims that there is no mess and no smell – but I would suggest the things would need to be the size of a small beach towel, otherwise your car seat runs the risk of getting a little messy if you don’t place it right, or if it moves.
And that’s another thing: I like to be confortable when I’m driving, and the idea of having something like this shoved in my keks just doesn’t appeal to me. Even less so once I’d shaken the python and would then have anything up to a litre of warm (but getting colder) gel between my legs!
The advertising spiel goes on about not finding anywhere where you can “go”. You can always find “somewhere”.
Nope! Only the saddest of the sad (or someone with a serious medical condition) is ever going to want to use this. And at £4, it hardly passes as “spending a penny”.
