Not a joking matter if you're stuck in a small jet where you can't move around for many hours. Could be even worse if you're in a two-seater aircraft.

MOTW agreed. It is called a Polymer sanitary pad, or "diaper".
Infrastructure Bill probably has whole joint resolution regarding "Briefs" vs. "Pull-Ups".

I'm sure they're very comforted in the knowledge they now can pee using only one hand.

Soon NASA will want all the credit for developing dependable seat covers.

AAAAAHH!!! I guess that's the cigarette lighter."
