[Paddlewise] The call of nature?

Reading the description of "the trip that nobody wanted", the author, a
male, describes relieving himself in a bag. While canoeing we are never
too far from shore and so I am regularly able to pull over and find a
place to squat. But what do the female sea kayakers do when they are on
a trip and can't pull over? I remember flying around the north with bush
pilots who would either pee in a baggy and drop it out the window (I
know, I know, who wants to find burst baggies lying around in the
wilderness, or worse still, be hit by one!) or just pee in a jar. I was
so envious of them as I wiggled around in agony trying to figure out how
to copy them without 1) exposing myself to a stranger, or 2) peeing all
over myself or the plane. I would really like to know if any of the
women on this list have come up with a workable solution to this problem
since my husband is in the process of getting his pilots license and I
am envisioning having to relive those old, painful, memories.
