	Hmmm.

	Given that backpackers have only just got around (in the last
five years) to designing a disposable, shaped, funnel to enable female
hikers to piss off trail without dekitting and micturating cul nu, it's
not that surprising that female techdivers (as you point out the MMD)
haven't got a solution yet.

	My understanding is that astronauts (the only folks we can
really look to in this) use a disposable nappy system with an automatic
air lock for waste removal; but it's never been used in hot blood
because no-one wants to risk depressurising the suit.

	A bit complicated for us.

	Apply your mighty brain power. If Rich can re-invent tech diving
from scratch, surely you can come up with a feminine p-valve. And let's
face it. No matter how liberated the man, you're still going to know far
more about the female anatomy than we are.

	You could still use an internal catheter; mount it in your
knickers rather than on a condom. That points you on a par with the
lads. If of course you wish to exceed them, you'll need something
designed yourself. Please don't get shirty.

	And don't forget that to be acceptable it must be hogarthian and
George must want to use it. :-)

	Jason
