Less "tech" -- more KISS. Since I'm all right for up to 2.5 hrs without needing to "go" (even though I'd love to!) I might consider a diaper for safety without planning to use it. For multi-dive days the extra plumbing of a P valve might certainly be worth it, but then, how does the little guy enjoy being inside a condom all day? I suspect it might get a bit itchy. My main point was, women may have no other simple and reliable option. If they do, that'd be good news!
