Embarrasing wet suit question.

[chefchris401]

Yeah the fish in the urethra thing was on river monsters, was down right distrubing.

some local guy pees in the water and this 4" long fish/worm thing swims inside his urethra and gets stuck and dies and starts decomposing, starts to stink, etc.

goes to the doctor and gets it PULLED out with tiny instruments and they save it in a jar. they had the actually footage of it!

they showed the damage these fish can do to human body carcass, was distrubing, amazing and unsettling all at the same time. People get dumped in this river when they want to dispose of a body.

really made me think twice about peeing in the water. F THAT!

Here is what urban dictionary has a def.

1. chub-rub
what fat girls experience when their inner-upper thighs rub together so much they get chaffed and rashes break out. It usually is accompanied by sweat and foul odors.

Used in a sentence:

That chick has such bad chub-rub that I can see blood marks on her pants between her thighs.

back in 1990 I lived in Florida and did some marine construction. We worked doing seawall repairs on the intercoastal. During the months of Jan and Feb we wore wetsuits.

When nature called (#1) we just peed in the wetsuit. It does warm you up but takes getting used to; letting the flow start.

Cleaning the wetsuit is essential. Urine leaves the body almost sterile but will leave a rash.

#2 is totally out of the question.

Luds, dishwashing soap is to aggressive for neoprene and will break it down in time. A freshwater rinse or soak is fine after each use or two but to wash it use either wetsuit wash or baby shampoo.

If you are gonna pee in it, which I do, don't do it when you are still dry and not when you get on your front seat going to another spot. That is just weird.

I never had done it prior to a Cuttyhunk trip last year. Tynan19 built it up like it was the best thing that could ever happen to me so I tried it while I was out there. It was fantastic! Since then I've started washing my suit every trip though! I just soak it in dishwashing soap and water. Works great. I have two suits so I always have one that's dry.
