    There's some mental component to it as well I suspect. I go right before a dive, but I still have to go anyway even on a 45 minute dive. I've had some pvalve issues that I've been trying to work out and everytime I want to test it the opposite holds trure; I suddenly can't go. I must be nuts

    Dial soap is anti-bacterial.....recommended by many docs for different skin bacterial issues (boils). Make sure you get the right bar.....read the label. No need to get something too invasive if Dial does the trick.

    There are 3 kinds of people in this world; those who are good at math, and those who are not.

    This stuff is awesome. I love using it in the summer. Funny story. Several years ago we were on a family beach vacation with my sister and BIL. I suggested he use my soap in the shower. About 5 minutes into the shower we heard screaming coming from the bathroom. He did exactly what I was hoping he would...and it wasn't his eyes he was screaming about! LOL!

    BTW, it doesn't necessarily need to get into any orifices. There are certain body areas that are sensitive to the effects of the peppermint.

    ditto! & take it off in the head spring, rinse completely, turn inside out & hang by the legs to dry. Then jump back in yourself, flush well, & exit the spring to dry off. No amount of kidney filtered fluids is going to hurt your wet suit, unless you do not rinse it off first & let dry ! Been there, done it many, many times....it never stank !
    You have got to be kidding me ! This thread should be given 5 stars for humor. Just too funny. thanks

    The hole at the bottom I can put compress air into and exits at the top to keep air flowing.

    There is another cross piece about where the crotch of the drysuit is. I also put a T fitting at the top with short piece of pipe to spread the load out over the entire foot area.
