Reply to "Going at work or public bathroom"

I have been using multi-stall washrooms including those in my schools (awkward) with students or other teachers in hanging around, for 38 yrs...

You get used to it but you can also 'eat for the occasion' meaning that I eat according to what I am going to be doing the next day or that afternoon...I avoid the heavy carbs (whites) or veggies that can clog if I am going to work (cannot take the chance at school)...you sort of get used to it and it becomes second nature...I won't say that it is ideal but it is a system that works better than being stuck for 1/2 hour irrigating or plucking stuff out of my cath.

There are balancing acts and set-ups to do...

I grab a couple of pieces of paper towel before heading in to use as lap covers and pre-fill my water bottle...sometimes, if the place is unknown, I check out the stall first, to see if there is a shelf for me to place things on or if the floor is 'clean' enough to put my purse down...I also check for coat hooks on the back of the door to hang my purse...I use a crossbody so the strap is very long and allows me to access my stuff while the purse is hooked on the door.

For those of you who are a bit squeamish, you can take disposable gloves with you, use them to do the plucking of stuff and then wrap your tube inside of them to wash out later.
