Do you know anyone who still uses a chamber pot?

I hate walking to the bathroom at night. Would much prefer to use a chamber pot.

Adult nappies and you wouldn't have to even look for the pot.

If you have to piss just use an empty 2ltr milk container.

It'd be much more convenient to have the pungent aroma of urine and or feces fill your bedroom than to make the short trip to the toilet alright OP.

What about the satisfaction of not crawling out of the blankets at all?

What about the annoyance of being awake having to go for a piss and no chamber pot to hand?

Eh that's a bed ban you're looking for, not a chamber pot.

I'd give him a bed ban if he started pissing in it.

Reminds me of a story.
When chamber pots were the in thing and the telephone was fairly new, two old boys were having a chat, one says, these new phone yokes are mighty, last night I talked to my son in new York. The other old lad was sucking his pipe and replied, that's nothing, last night I woke up to the sound of herself pissing in China.

In the camper-van, we use a small bucket at night rather than fill up the space in the toilet cassette with simple liquid. Pour it out carefully under a hedge in the morning.
It's actually handy, doesn't smell and saves the loo for serious business.
Same principle.

This is probably a weird question, but any idea how long it takes for the urine in the bucket to start smelling? On average, assuming it's not insanely hot at night and that no-one's dehydrated or otherwise passing concentrate that smells straight away.

What makes urine smell is bacteria: the liquid itself is virtually sterile when it leaves the body (so I'm told)
So, being left exposed to the air - it would begin to whiff after about 12 hours, depending on circs.
Also, the container should be well rinsed daily after it is emptied.

Unless you have a rip-roaring UTI in which case it stinks straight away.

OP there is a thing called a conveen, ideal for lazy people (and the sick and infirm). It's like a condom with hole in the end you attach a bag to. So you could probably get 24 hours in bed before emptying.

I don't think they even have to do that in Mountjoy prison anymore

Life really was grim in the olden days.

Mine didn't smell at all. It just looked a bit grey. I through it down the kitchen sink after.

Not for me, in the 60s, when I was a brat the loo was in a shed outside, you wouldn't be too on for going out:there in the middle of the night, we had a pisspot, three of us in one room, some job trying to carry that down the stairs and out to the loo to tip it without spilling it sometimes?
Do people still use pots for training children?

Can't beat a slop bucket. Just make sure you don't step in it the next morning and clean it at least once a year.

Directly out the bedroom window solves all these problems and provides some much needed fresh air.

I prefer a 2ltr milk container. Small bottles don't have a wide enough opening to stick your dick in. Also you don't have to worry about over flowing and you can close the lid to avoid spillage or any unpleasant odors.

Don't you know after the bubble burst no one had a pot to p*ss in.

That's it. I'm out. I'm physically retching here.

In my college days I stayed in a room that had a sink. Was very handy for pissing in at night, rather than making the long journey to the bathroom. I realise that now it's unacceptable but then, it was like having my own ensuite!

I empty mine out the top window when the inspector of television documentation calls

Thats so gross, my bathroom smells absolutely awful if somebody doesn't flush after they piss during the night. So why would you want to make your room smell by leaving a pot of piss in it overnight

I suppose that back in the olden days they did not wash themselves or their clothes too much so everything must have smelt rank.

As recently as 1981 15% of Irish dwellings did not have an indoor flush toilet. Go figure.

I was one of those....A bucket in my bedroom as the toilet was at the end of the garden....Heaven help me, I fell down the stairs carrying said bucket one morning...Not a pretty sight...Or smell ....

I know three that still don't, single bachelors.
One guy, back in 1979 his mother got builders in to install a bathroom, was on as far as installing the suite and the mother died. I swear the bathroom suite and fittings are still sitting there waiting to be installed but never will be. Very sad.
