For me, I find it hard at times to go when lying down. My anatomy is such that I always end up pointing up, no matter how hard I try to tuck my private parts down, it just does not stay.
Me too. In fact it is often quite painful and I worry I'm doing myself an injury forcing myself to pee in an awkward position.
I'm still working on this but here are my suggestions so far. In turn these are based on helpful suggestions I've read here. I've tried all these but haven't perfected any of them.
I think the best answer if your skin can take it is probably a loose fitting cloth nappy - maybe double thick towelling pants - though I slightly worry they don't have enough capacity.
I think a folded, pinned cloth nappy would be better - but I'm not sure what fold to use. This would be better with plastic pants that were over-sized but still fit on the waist and thighs well enough not to leak - but I haven't found any of these yet.
Alternatively wearing a slightly too big disposable diaper the wrong way round (as the padding rises more at the back) and making a duct tape waist band just above where the padding stops worked for me - but is a bit of a hassle.
Finally a premium disposable nappy such as an ABU Simple is better too - but you need to make sure it isn't on too tight - and maybe use plastic pants.
For both the disposable options side-weeing is out of the question - but for cloth you can pee in any position.
I've actually given up night wearing for the moment as it gave me a rash / infection and I have to admit I actually sleep worse in a nappy despite having to get up during the night.
I'm going to wait a while and give it another try at some point though.
