Pilots at an Air Force base in North Carolina are the first to test out a new system that would make it easier for female aviators to urinate during long flights.
A long-standing issue for women in the service has been not having a practical or safe way to relieve themselves, often having to rely on dehydration, diapers or simply holding their urine during training or a mission.
Holding in urine for extended periods of time can lead to a variety of health complications, ranging from headaches, infections and an overall weakening of the bladder muscles. One method referred to by aviators as “tactical dehydration” involves not drinking liquids at all for hours before a flight, which can lead to a variety of safety risks, according to the Air Force.
This method can cause fatal errors and health issues, such as lowering the aircrew’s ability to withstand high g-forces by 50% and increase headaches,” the 4th Fighter Wing said in a press release.
But female pilots at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, are ground testing a new bladder relief method.
The system — called Airus by Airion Health — was awarded a prototype contract by the Air Force last year, according to the 4th Fighter Wing. It uses a cup liner that is docked to the body and worn under the pilot’s underwear. A pumping system then pulls the liquid away from the flight suit and doesn’t require pilots to remove their harness. MORE
Yah. Jam a PureWick up there. Been around awhile, available for hospital or home use.
Quit reinventing the wheel to give money to your political allies.

My Dad was stationed at Seymour Johnson in the late 50s.
Female pilots’ pissing wasn’t an issue then.
What are they gonna do about the trans-whatever perverts?
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Just have them install a catheter every time that they fly, with a pee bag strapped to their leg. Problem solved.
Didn’t some looney astronaut wear a diaper when she drove cross country to attack a woman a few years back?
“News of the testing comes as the Air Force has worked to amend numerous long-standing policies aimed at improving the quality of life of women and pregnant service members.”
Women AND pregnant service members.”?? Welcome to the fully woke Biden Air Force.
First power steering then electric starters why are we wasting time and dollars developing drones and battle bots? Stop living in the cheap dark ages whats a few billion here and there bled out from the dumb tax slaves pockets? What war are we in this week?
Here’s a cheaper solution: The “women” you send on long missions should only be men who self-identify as women. How can the progressives complain about that?
Not too sure why they’re worried about a little pee in the cockpit, since she’s gonna put it in the ocean anyway…

“…the service has… is developing a maternity flight suit and a wrap-style dress for pregnant airmen.”
Pregnant “airmen”?! Is that just a generic term for male and female pilots? Or is this referring to mentally ill trannies?! And, Idk about other women but when I was pregnant I was working graveyard shift and was getting hormonal, nauseated and extremely tired. I hid it as best I could but finally was found out by my sergeant and had to work behind a desk instead of patrol. Just as well.
…soo, there’s studies about how G forces affect gestating infants?
Do we know for sure foetal brains do not get concussions from high speed manoevers?
They’ve proved that the mother’s flight suit squeezing the blood out of her lower regions into her head isn’t detrimental to the developing organs in the mother’s lower regions?
…I bet they did the same studies Pfizer did for the vaxxx.
None.
New tech meaning a pair of Depends is now thinner and more streamlined. Won’t bunch up during barrel rolls.
The new army! The Maternity Platoon, the Monthly Period Platoon and the I’m mad at Sally Platoon!
What’s the National Stock No. for kitty litter?
Now all they need to do is solve that age old problem of writing their name in the snow..
…a late-term baby will certainly add something extra to a high-speed rocket-boosted bailout…

Heh.
I’m still in favor of Rush’s fabled All American Amazon Brigade.
Now they can bitch and pee at the speed of sound.

Hmmm.
Still no jokes about Flaps?
Go ahead, I deserve whats coming…
Go piss up a rope, as they say.
Why do you think they call it a cockpit?
