Method 1 of 3: Pee in the car

1. Bring an aid to urinate. Before you pack your things for your car ride and hit the road, buy something to pee in. A disposable urine bag or bottle is the best option because it is the easiest to use. If you have never used such a tool before, it may be a good idea to buy different types and take them all with you. You can also just pee in a bottle.
   • There are a ton of different urination aids available for both men and women.
   • If you don't want to spend money on a single-use device, you can use materials you may already have at home. Many men use a milk carton, but it can tip over in the car.
   • Water bottles have a large opening and so many women prefer them.
2. Bring supplies to clean your hands. Since you use the same hands when you urinate as he drives your car, it is important to bring something to clean your hands with. A hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and paper towels that you have already soaked in soapy water at home are all suitable for this purpose.
   • You can buy hand sanitizers and baby wipes in the supermarket and at the drugstore. If you don't want to spend too much money, opt for a travel pack.
   • If you want to bring wet paper towels with you, grab a dry paper towel and run it under the tap until it is wet. Pump one or two drops of liquid hand soap onto the paper towel and rub the soap into the paper until you see foam. Squeeze the excess water out of the paper and fold it up whatever is most convenient for you.
3. Keep the urination aid somewhere near you in the car. When you're ready to hit the road, place or place your urination aid where you can easily reach it and have it ready for use in case you need it in the car. Don't have to search for it.
   • You can put it in the center console, door pocket or glove box.
4. Park your car on the side of the road. When you have to pee, put your car in a safe place on the side of the road. The roadside, a freeway exit, and other areas away from traffic are all good options. For safety, do not pull over your car when driving on a highway or busy road. Do not use the urination aid while driving.
5. Pee in the device. Take the tool from where you kept it. If necessary, remove the lid or cap. Tilt the aid towards your body so that the bottom is at a 45 degree angle to the floor. Pee in the opening of the device and aim at the bottom.
   • If the device has a lid or cap, don't forget to put it back on when you're done.
6. Clean yourself with the items you brought. Grab your wet wipes or hand sanitizer and clean your hands before moving on. You can throw away the urination aid if there is a waste bin nearby. If not, keep the resource with you. If you think you need to urinate again soon, put or leave the aid near you. You can also pick up another single-use device if you brought several.
   • Do not just throw the toilet aid out of the car. You can be fined if you throw a bottle or bag of urine along the side of the road.
7. Get back on the road. Continue to your destination now that you feel a lot more comfortable. Make sure you drink enough water. When your body is dehydrated, you get tired. That is not a good combination with driving.

Method 2 of 3: Pee outside the car

1. Bring supplies to clean your hands. It's generally a good idea to clean your hands after urinating wherever you are. A hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and paper towels that you have already soaked in soapy water at home are all suitable for this purpose.
   • You can buy hand sanitizers and baby wipes in the supermarket and at the drugstore. If you don't want to buy a large package, choose a travel package.
   • If you want to bring wet paper towels with you, grab a dry paper towel and run it under the tap until it is wet. Pump one or two drops of liquid hand soap onto the paper towel and rub the soap into the paper until you see foam. Squeeze the excess water out of the paper and fold it up in whatever way is most convenient for you.
2. Put your car somewhere. When you need to pee, put your car in a safe place where no one can see you. Make sure you choose a spot that is far enough from the road so that you have some privacy. It is preferable if you take a turn off the main road. To stay safe, do not park your car on the emergency lane along the highway.
3. Get out of your car. Get out of your car and look around. Make sure there are no people near you who can see what you are doing. If there are people, choose another place. It's also important to make sure you're not peeing someone's yard or soil.
4. Find a quiet place to urinate. If you are in a remote place (near a forest or bushes), walk a few meters away from your car and find a place that is partially or completely hidden. This way, people walking or driving by cannot see what you are doing.
   • Good options are to stand behind a tree, behind a large shrub, or in the middle of tall grass.
   • When you find a good spot, you do your thing. As a woman, pull your pants down so that they hang on your ankles and crouch behind a tree or bush.
   • If there is no place where no one can see you, open the door on the right side of your car and stand behind it. Don't look at the road. As a woman, pull your pants down so that they hang on your ankles and crouch behind the open right door of your car. Squat as close to the car as possible to have as much privacy as possible.
   • If you, as a woman, cannot squat because you have a problem with your knees or the place seems dirty, then you can pee standing up is described. Remember that you have to practice to be able to do this properly. So start practicing right away if you have a few days left before you travel with your car.
   • Don't let anyone see you, as you could be fined for urinating in public. The amount of this fine is 140 euros.
5. Pull up your pants and get back in the car. When you're done, pull your pants back up and get into the car. Leave the used tissues or toilet paper where you urinated. The paper is biodegradable and will disintegrate quickly. Before you continue driving, it is a good idea to clean your hands with the items you brought with you.
6. Get back on the road. Continue to your destination now that you feel a lot more comfortable. Make sure you drink enough water. If your body is dehydrated, you will experience fatigue. That is not a good combination with driving.

Method 3 of 3: Stop at a grooming area

1. Bring supplies to clean your hands. It is a good idea to be prepared in case soap and water are not available at the grooming area. Hand sanitizer and baby wipes are easy to carry and quick to use.
   • You can buy hand sanitizers and baby wipes in the supermarket and at the drugstore. If you don't want to buy a large package, choose a travel package.
2. Look for the nearest rest area. When you need to urinate, check for a rest area nearby by looking for a blue sign with a white letter "P" on it and the name of the rest area. The signs usually indicate how many kilometers you still have to drive to get there.
   • There are apps you can download to your phone that will find the nearest rest area for you. When you know that you have to pee, you can simply open the app and find the nearest care place.
3. Drive to the rest area. When you have found the nearest rest area, drive there and park your car. You can stretch your legs, take some pictures while in a picturesque setting, or just go straight to the bathroom.
   • Many rest areas have a petrol station with vending machines, places for pets and sometimes free Wi-Fi.
4. Go to the toilet. Whether there are toilets for men and women or there is a separate toilet, most rest areas have a toilet area with several toilets and / or urinals. If the toilets are being cleaned, you can wait a few minutes or drive to the next rest area.
   • If you are a woman, hopefully the toilet will be clean and you can urinate while sitting. If it isn't and the toilet is dirty enough that you don't want to sit on the toilet, you can still pee. Hang over the toilet to urinate. Do not stand on the toilet seat or it could break.
5. Clean your hands. If there is a sink and soap in the toilet area, clean your hands with it. If not, you can use whatever items you brought with you.
6. Get back on the road. Continue to your destination now that you feel a lot more comfortable and make sure you drink enough water. If your body is dehydrated, you will experience fatigue and can fall asleep at the wheel, which is dangerous.

Tips

• As a man, as a passenger in a car, you can try to pee out of the car window. Know that you run the risk of being seen by the police and fined for urinating in public.
• If you don't want to stop the car and put it on the side of the road, you can also wear an adult diaper.
• If you, as a woman, squat by the car to urinate, be careful not to wet your pants or shoes.
• As a man, if you urinate behind the door on the right side, make sure you aim the jet at the ground instead of peeing with an arc. This way the beam will not light up in the headlights of oncoming traffic and you will attract less attention.
• As a woman, make sure that you open both doors on the right so that passers-by cannot see you.
• Make sure to let the driver know you need to pee before the emergency gets too bad. You may not be able to stop so that you wet your pants.Of course you want to avoid this, so make sure you urinate before you hold your groin with your hands and wiggle to avoid having to urinate.
• You can cover yourself with a blanket when you wet the car. However, make sure you can see for yourself what you are doing. Most importantly, others cannot see you.
