So am I to pee through this hole?

mikenberger · March 2015

I'm looking at shapewear for under my wedding dress. The salon and my alterations woman both recommended high waisted shorts. So I bought a pair. And upon inspection, I am expected to pee through a hole in the crotch. I've done some searching and have found plenty of other women that say that it's no big deal and you don't even notice and they never had any issues.

I have anxiety. Really? THROUGH A HOLE IN MY PANTS? While wearing a wedding dress? Calm me down. I've only worn the skirt type shapewear and I have gained enough weight where that's no longer an option as chaffing is a real possibility. And I just cannot be starting a fire under my dress.

I have never worn a pair of shorts where I had to pee through a hole. And I would probably be feeling like you, very anxious about doing so, especially in a wedding dress. I would suggest practicing, as silly as that may sound. I have heard that with this type of shape wear, practice makes perfect in the peeing department.

But is a high waist a must? Are you just looking for something to prevent chaffing? In that case you could get yourself a pair of running shorts and they would do the same thing, minus the peeing through the hole bit. But if it makes you feel any better, I was so busy dancing and talking to people that peeing was on the bottom of my list of things to think about. In fact I didn't pee at all once the dress went on until I got to my hotel room, so about 8 hours, and I had been drinking quite a bit too.

I have high waisted Spanx shorts with a little slit. Either I'm an idiot or there's something off with my lady parts because peeing through that tiny ass hole did not work for me. I didn't practice at home, but I did have to take the Spanx off after peeing all over them at my brother's wedding reception.

I definitely recommend practicing at home and if it doesn't work, maybe ask your seamstress to make the slit bigger? I feel like I've heard of women here doing that.

No way in hell I could do that. I'd pee all over myself. Or be afraid a bug might find its way into that hole

mikenberger · March 2015

Peeing on myself was concern #1. Now I have to worry about critters. Ironically, it's also why I refuse to sleep totally naked.

00kim00 · March 2015

It is totally possible to pee through that hole without getting it all over yourself. It does take technique, though, and would be tricky in a large dress. Definitely practice at home (start only the spanx on so you know you can do it before adding difficulty)!

Here's a technique (detailed description ahead,skip it if you're offended by tmi!): after you sit, use 2 hands to separate the gusset. Spread it wide around your labia to your thighs. Center your urethra in the hole, which may require moving the garment forward or back, not just to the sides. Keep one and holding each side open until you're done, keeping your labia outside the hole (that contains the pee protects the spanx from getting wet). The trickiest part is next: reposition your hands so only one hand is holding it open while you wipe with the other. One hand's okay because there's no spray to avoid, but watch out for drips.

If you have people holding your dress up for you, this should be fine in a wedding dress. I, however, was not interested in my bridesmaids joining me in the bathroom so i decided against spanx in favor of being able to use my own hands to hold up my dress and peeing independently

Good luck, and definitely practice!

BUT WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO POOP??

Just kidding. If you're nervous about it, I suppose you could pull down the spanx and have someone hold up your dress while you go to the restroom, then pull them back up. (Yes, I've had to do that for a bride before. It's not that bad.)

plainjane0415 · March 2015

I have tried peeing through the hole in my spanx and it worked for me, I didn't pee on myself, and it was fairly easy to do.

I haven't tried it in my wedding dress yet though, and I'm sure that will be a little more challenging.

justsie · March 2015

Remember, sitting on the toiled backwards helps to hold the front of your dress up and lets you not worry about the back!

theartistformerlyknownas · March 2015

LMAO at a bug getting in there!

I wore relatively high-waisted Spanx shorts, and they did not have a hole. When I've worn them other times, I just pulled them down to go to the bathroom. On my wedding day though, I didn't pee at all from the time I got dressed at about 1:30 til I got back to my hotel room at midnight. Mystery of science for sure, I had a LOT to drink.

I'm sorry but no undergarment should be that difficult to manage so that one can pee.

It really wasn't that complicated for me. Since I was using a public restroom when I tried doing this in my spanx, I was already "squatting" so all I had to do was squat and make sure the fabric was clear from my pee hole and then I just went. And it worked out. Not messy, didn't get anywhere, I was honestly very surprised, but glad it worked because it was a lot easier than taking those devil things off and getting them back on.

Yeah, but when I pee the last thing I want to worry about is peeing on my under garments and having to spread open a fabric hole. And yeah a lot of times you pee in a nice stream but sometimes pee tends to run off to the side and really you have no control how exactly you pee at any one moment.

mikenberger · March 2015

Yes. This is my concern. One, I will be intoxicated and that pulling a garment open enough to pee without peeing all over myself and/or my ivory lace dress OR someone helping me. Or two, pee is unpredictable. I've had to pee into cups plenty of times and let me tell you, sometimes, you just don't know which way the wind will blow.

This is also true, I guess I just got lucky.

ohannabelle · March 2015

Absolutely wouldn't buy it. No way would I be dealing with a pee hole in my drawers. God, no. There's shape wear out there without this weirdness.

MandyMost · March 2015

Anything high-waisted is going to be a pain in the ass, since you either have to get it on/off to pee or you have to use the hole. Do you NEED the spanx to be high waisted? If so, what about regular shorts and a waist cincher? Same effect as high-waisted shorts, but two pieces so you can take the shorts on/off to pee.

For shorts to prevent chafing, try Jockey Skimmies (I think that's what they're called). I love them...no hold or anything just smoothes everything out and prevents chafing. They're like 100 million times more comfortable than trying to wear spanx (or knock-off spanx) which squeeze you to make you thinner, or bike/running shorts which are just not made to be worn all day under other clothes.

And don't count on just not peeing. I think I peed like 6 times in my wedding dress between and 11pm.

Maybe - but that is bigger than the hole that's in my Spanx.

Also, I know I wouldn't remember it on the day of the wedding. "Hey, Bridesmaid - I have to pee - have you seen my plastic penis laying around anywhere?".

But that's just me.

That is what your garter is for. Just slip your plastic pink penis into your garter and you are all set!

Anxiety has lifted with the insertion of my plastic pink penis cup! Wahoo!

I'm just going to have to get naked if I want to pee anyway. My dress is trumpet-shaped and I doubt it will pull up over my hips anyway. Hopefully the Wedding Magic Dehydration will kick in and I won't have to go. I doubt it though. I have to pee like every hour.

plainjane0415 · March 2015

Yea, I haven't attempted it in my wedding dress, and I'm sure that will be significantly more difficult.

I'm not gonna lie - that thing intrigues me. One day my cubemate said "hey, you want to see my go girl?" and pulled it out of her purse - luckily it was brand-new and still in its little tube container. LOL

QueerFemme · March 2015

Seriously, practice. The first two or three times I tried to pee through the hole, I ended up with a buttload of pee trapped in my spanx. I still don't exactly know how it happened. I took them off, washed them, and tried again. Now I'm an expert.

Are you SUUUURE it was brand new? I was just researching those things, and apparently, you're supposed to store them back in the container. Roll it up in the little baggy and re-insert it in to the container.

Yes!!! She bought it to do a river race on the Missouri River but they didn't even make it a few hours so she never got the chance to use it. LOL!

christinemireille · March 2015

I have Rago shapewear (no rolling--I think they're more comfy than Spanx!), and the hole is less like two curtains and more like a flap. So when you gotta go, you just pull over the flap and hold. It's one handed and not as scary!

So am I to pee through this hole?
