This is my story of resorting to my FUD (lovingly referred to as my plastic penis). An overnight bus from Siliguri to Kolkata refused to stop for me to use the washroom. They had made multiple stops where men could line up along the side of the road to pee standing…but the last stop for a woman was sometime around midnight and I had slept through it. By 9am, I told the driver if he did not stop I would pee on his seats. Still, he refused, so I had to exit the bus an hour away from Kolkata to find a public toilet and arrange alternative transportation home.

I purchased the device after that instance.
