Default Waders!! A delicate question.

Why is it that manufacturers of waders fit waterproof zips that end to high for the average bloke to get his todger out to have a pee?? Especially if the water is cold!!

If your Calvins ain't showing then your waders aren't hanging right.

Self-catheterization perhaps!?

Just stick your hand down, and lift the "todger" up to hang out above the part that comes up to the chest, and do the bizniz....isn't that what everybody does??

My Dear Fellow!

Do you not have it hanging around your neck as a neck warmer?

I find it most pleasant in keeping my ears warm and certainly much easier to point downwind so as not to get spray back in my face.

Perhaps this is just the South African way - never do to get the old boy wet you know! Mind you, it does help if I have forgotten the wading staff at home.....

Oh don't be silly Ben, no one can get it around their neck as a neck warmer, heavens, I can barely get it to touch my chin when I crane my neck forward.

I have a feeling I am going to regret this !!!!!! but I am going to do it anyway !

Being of a certain age, and an old diver, I use a trick which naval divers who wore neck entry dry suits used to use (of necessity !).....

Introduce an empty bottle (yeah, large neck opening - I know) into the neck seal or chest of the waders, work it down to the appropriate area, do your thing and then (without inverting the bottle - important that bit !!!!!) work it back up to the neck seal or top of the waders and wallah !

that works but its far easier with a large heavy duty plastic bag to wrap around the old man inside the waders and much easier to store and carry than a bottle
