I think this is going to get boned to hell but I'm going to post it anyway. A retractable hose that coils around beneath the bedframe, hooked directly into the household plumbing, with an optional personal attachment to make it useable by women. At the end of the hose, or the attachment, are tiny holes
through which water flows by pressing one of two buttons.
The sleeping user gets an urge to pee but is too lazy to leave bed. He or she reaches around the edge of the bedframe, grabs the hose which is securely clipped out of view, pulls it up and around and depresses the button starting the flow of water. He or she relieves his or herself, then depresses the second of two buttons to send through a burst of sanitizing solution, lets the hose retract into it's underbed hose receptacle, and clips the end of the hose back into it's holder. Next to the underbed receptacle is a small box of proprietary wipes which can also be disposed of down the hose, like all wastes, directly into the sewer system.
The major downside I suppose would be the need to have plumbing in your bedroom. For the ability to pee in bed I think I'd be willing to make the investment. Perfect for hospitals.
In the morning when the bed is made, the apparatus is completely out of view, lest visitors realize you're too lazy to leave bed to pee.
halfbaked?

So it's an external catheter then ? |
|
|
i would not call it an external catheter since the tube diameter is completely different. think more along the lines of a vacuum cleaner hose. |

Alleviating oneself in the bed may be a
dangerous thing to get used to... |
|
|
Too fancy a word to be used in
conjunction with bodily fluids? |

strange idea to be attracted to after 2 years, placid |

welcome back. which word were you alluding to? |

//Alleviating oneself//
// Too fancy a word to be used in

|
|
Not at all. Just not entirely the word I
think you may have been looking for. |

[po] I've been timidly hanging around
for a couple weeks actually :) Thanks for
the welcome though! |

[MB] Indeed, looking it up, I realise it
doesn't mean quite what I thought it
did... My french-speaking mind seems
to be laying Latinist traps for me at
every step of the way. |

Origin from late Latin <i>allevare- to
lighten</i> |

Your original point was a good one [placid_turmoil]. |
