Thank you! So I'm not alone! I hate using public toilets. I have a fear of bowel accidents, as I have IBS. Sometimes, I have a sudden urge to go. If I feel at risk, I wear a sanitary towel and change of pants etc. This helps. Camped round NZ and Australia and coped. Ju Ju

If I am having an IBS episode then I take my herbal drops and can go out with a certain amount of confidence.
It's not so much using a public toilet, it's others hearing what I am doing. Or not getting there in time. Sorry if TMI.

You are not camping CLKD. You have a posh van. I know you don't want to use your chemical toilet but if needs must. It's being caught short that is the problem.

Relax and enjoy.

I heard Michael Ball talking recently: saying that he went to an awards ceremony one evening and in the gents' there was Michael Caine and a few others (can't remember names  ::) ) and he was unable to 'pee'  :D
