Wider neck or more capacity . . . your choice. One of those apple or tomato juice bottles can get you a happy medium.

As a cabbie, I preferred the soda bottle because of the capacity and the fact that the lid would stay on tight. But, yeah, you had to unzip and hold both parts tightly together to finish your business. You never knew when you would have the time to drive to some secluded spot and empty the bottle.

had to temporarily use a catheter and bag around ankle. Actually that’s an easy thing to do and no one knows your situation.

I actually thought about getting a STADIUM PAL at one point. When I started on Finasteride, the results were not quick. It shrinks the prostate, but it takes about a year or more before results show because it works gradually. I realized that it was working when I and a carpool partner were marooned on the HOV/Carpool lane one evening after work. We sat there immobile for three hours and I was able to hold it.

PAE - which reduces the size of the prostate in men.

Botox is really just Botulinum Toxin in tiny amounts.
The unforseen consequences will be significant.

From the article “While the procedure can be covered by Medicare and insurance, Shusterman said some patients without coverage will shell out the $20,000 price tag out of pocket.”

I suspect those patients without coverage are rich enough not to have insurance. I believe Rush did not have medical insurance because he could afford not to.
The article makes it sound like some if these folks cannot afford insurance.

Reminds me of the private airplane trip from San Antonio, TX to Manhattan, KS about 20 years ago. The pilot, a fellow professor and his wife flew me and another prof down for some professional meetings.

The morning we returned, I stocked up on orange juice and coffee. About 2 hours in the air, I politely asked the pilot to land the plane for a pee break. He informed me that was not going to happen and I would just have to hold it.... for 8 hours

Well, it was the most horrific period of time in my life. I wanted to pee but I just didn’t have the nerve to pull my Johnson out with my colleague next to me and his wife in front of me.

Bad, bad deal.

The ever present reality of turbulence (in flight) vs the lack thereof in a car certainly does drive the choice between wide neck and capacity.

Correct. Different vehicles, different conditions call for different receptacles. The point is that cheap, low tech solutions abound.

For maximum time and turbulence, there is the space suit with tubes which carry bodily waste to a holding tank. But you will spend thousands of dollars.

It was amazing how quickly this solution was developed when an astronaut couldn't hold it in one of the early scenes in the movie The Right Stuff.

Shusterman said patients have told him about clashes in the car with friends when they needed to get off the road and find a restroom, to no avail. "Thousands of people are probably fighting about this every week," he said.

What about those groups that offer 'pay per use' bathrooms?
