Farasha, How about a bedpan? I'll bet them make them out of plastic and one could be carried for "emergencies".

return it after the trip.

hold it............ ..but I love the bedpan idea as a perfect idea.......once when
my mom and I got stuck in a line heading toward Vegas and mom used the flour pot we were happen to have in the car.....I guess anything big enough to
put you butt on.....so make sure all your weight limits will hold up for you should you need it....LMAO  as you can see the bouncing is not a good idea in this situation...

Two years ago we pulled over off the side of the road with our camp trailer about 1/2 hour south of Catavinia so our then 3 year old could go in the
back to do his stuff. As my wife dissapeared into the trailer with the little man, a car drove up and a man got in a hurry and asked "do you have a
bathroom my wife can use ? I'll pay."
Apparently his wife was a bit shy and in real need of relief;
she could barely walk !
We obliged for no fee.

Good memory Camote
I had a great Grunt Chevy van and my solution was to drill a hole in the floor near the drivers seat. I then put a transmission funnel in it when
needed. It was about the same hight as my seat, so, when needed, I would just slide my butt off to the right and take care of business. I'm a woman by
the way. It was so easy and un-obvious that I could still yak at the venders with them being non the wiser (unless the ground tilted their way, LOL).
Be sure to wear a skirt or sarong on border days. I also have a small rectangle trash can bungied next to the drivers seat, in an emergency, you could
just as easily slide over onto that. Now, as far as a #2 problem, the trash can would work, but it would REALLY have to be an emergency.
Not a very delicate subject matter, but, it's a fact of life and I was glad on a few occasions that I figured that problem out before it became a real
problem. Good luck,
M

And I thought it was a radiator leaking antifreeze.

Summanus,
ref: When in Rome
At least he got his shoes out of the way. Wish I were that agile.
Oh oh....looks like trouble coming in from the left of the photo.

I always thought it's from the Aircon- Hm, tells me how easily one can be wrong!!
Now I wonder how that guy on the bench manages NOT to stain his clothes once the pressure gets less ??

Something tells me he doesn't worry about that too much Farasha!
Edit: This was an insensitive post on my part, and I am sorry. There really is nothing funny about this person's circumstances.

From the looks of it Farasha,
I don't think that poor ba**ard is worried about ANYTHING let alone staining his clothes. From the other puddle behind him, I'm guessing he was there
for a while, eventually not even able to stand.

Since M posted HER solution, I have been tossing this problem - could I or NOT. Coming to the end - I simply COULD NOT - I envy M that she can. I
rather would have my bladder burst I guess.
Traveling a lot, I did have this problem couple times - and it gave me really some pain occasionally, BUT I just can't in public. 
Lets see if BNF will be able to convince his wife to give it a try.

I understand Farasha...
When I started dating my first husband, we used to fly every weekend in his Mooney airplane. That was a lot of fun, HOWEVER, the transit was a bit
taxing at times. Imagine being closed up in an old VW beetle, windows up, with narrower seats. Now, imagine you have to pee REAL BAD.
Being a new relationship, I was nowhere near ready to perform the required contortions to drop drawers, let alone PEE in front of him yet....So, like
you Farasha, I suffered...deeply.
Well, one weekend, on our way to Mammoth for ourfirstover-nighter together, I was faced with this exact problem. DAMN! I had drunk
NOTHING, not even my morning coffee, had gone before we took off, took every precaution. Well, I had no choice but to get over it. Luckily, Doug kept
a coffee can in the plane for just such emergencies. Works great if your a man, not so much if your a woman. Those are some pretty sharp edges around
that can, and I won't explain the visions running in my head regarding the outcome of a little turbulance. Anyway, while doing the deed, I could see
Doug in my peripheral vision trying to control himself. He was smart enough to figure out that if he laughed out loud, chances are good he wasn't
going to get real lucky that weekend, but then, if he didn't bust loose with some guffaws, he was probably going to rupture something important
anyway, so you can see his problem.
He wisely turned his head all the way to the left so I couldn't see his face and vice versa, but I saw his body shaking....
It's funny now, but believe it or not, I was still somewhat shy when I was 22.

Well Farasha, I guess you could replace the drivers seat with a toilet, water-saver type, of course. Get the padded seat for long distance comfort.

Well, this might have been the perfect border crossing car, the famous Louis Mattar's Touring Car. They drove non-stop from Alaska to Mexico city in
1954---could even change a tire while moving, and yes it had a toliet.
The chemical toliet went in where the washing machine sits. Heck, while one waits, they could do the laundry and ironing instead of waiting until
getting home.
Happy border wait
