WTFs a pergnant women?

I  may have exagerated a little but try holding out in cold water ie. not in the North East apparently..
But why have a bag fitted when the nice warm whizz whizz is serving a purpose.  I guess you could collect it and save it for later but it wouldn't be warm by the time you got round to using it, great for the compost heap mind..

i too am a happy wetsuit pisser but have noticed  that sometimes, when its really cold, i can get in quite needing a wee then lose the urge until after im out. Weird.
Might as well get some use out of this thread.
What do people have as winter wetties?
I wear a 5:3 e bomb (all year round tbh) with thick boots and gloves and a hood. With thermals underneath and a fleecy rashie its  feels just warm enough. Now its losing some if its elasticity it is letting more water in and im thinking about splashing out on a good winter suit. Answers on a postcard please.

For brutal cold (ie now until march)I've got a 5:3 XCEL O Zip, XCEL hooded thermal rashie, 3 finger mitts and Alder Plasma 7mm boots. A bit cumbersome, but I'm not really a high performance surfer and hate ending a session as I am too cold. Of all the above, i think the Alder boots are fantastic, and can't recommend them highly enough.

Have a 6/5mm Quicksaliva Ignite for particulary cold days, chest zip built in hood.. Worn with nowt underneath it is super cosey and stretchy...  + Boots + Gloves..

Otherwise it's 5/4/3mm of whatever I can get for a reasonable price.. At the moment a Billabong  Solution CT with a modula hood.  It's great with the hood but without out it flushes a lot (which helps remove the piss ).

I'm sure somewhere in the depths of the OFTS thread there is a discussion about this very subject, the Xcel jobbies such a\s AL has just sold seem to be popular/fashionable with the NE crew.  Although if you're looking for something super plush (and expensive) Patagonia or a made to measure from SNUGG would be nice.

I would love one of the pattaguccis but horiffically expensive.

I have a Cskins 5/3 that flushes in water in the arms and neck.  I really need a new one.  I should really wear a thermal rash vest under it aswell.  I have 5mm xcel gloves that get stupidly cold? again they flush water so im guessing a "small" size would be more suitable for my skinny fingers. 
My xcel  5mm split toe bamboo boots are super tho.  never cold and never flush water. 

So basically, I need a new wetsuit - im an awkward size tho, tall skinny and broad shoulders. 
For gloves im looking at:

5/4/3 hooded xcel all winter. 5mm gloves 5 mm boots. Nothing under it other than the suit o was born in

never get cold with that on and no flushing. I have tried most suits and have stuck with xcel for the last three years. Summer suits are rip curl or quicky as more flexy.
I always have a minimum of 2 suits in the winter so never have to put on a wet suit. Plus rarely more than ten mins from my house to get warm and dry.  We got the house from a mad keen golfer who had a drying cupboard installed it's amazing and drysout a wetsuit in about an hour.

Prep is key to staying warm up here.

I'm 5'11'' and 10st 12lbs. Currently sporting a medium infiniti drylock 4:3. More watertight and warmer than my old ebomb 5:3. Teamed it with xcel hooded rashie, 7mm xcel boots and 5mm xcel 3 fingered mits. Been ok so far this winter...

I love pissing in my suit by the way.
