    Thank you Shay. You summed it up nicely and did so in a tasteful manner. Much better than I would have done. I basicly picked up the potty training the same way I did sitting...by watching women that have been doing it for years. And no guys and gals, I am not a peeping tom. You don't get to be over fifty and have spent over 20 of those years in the Navy without seeing one or two along the way.

    Shay, if you were anything like my wife on our wedding day, you had an entourage in there holding the dress up for you.

    Don't think I'd be able to get a bunch of bridesmaids to help me.

    Well, if you ask nicely enough...

    But no, I could get it gathered and manage it myself. I only needed help bustling it up to dance.

    Maybe it's because we were raised wearing dresses, & you just learn to handle how ever much fabric there is in the skirt. As a woman, I don't think too much about it. Slacks, now, that's another matter. You gotta make sure they don't touch the floor. <shudder>

    My 20 yo does the pull it around thing.

    Right. I am better off in a skirt beause it doesn't have zippers and stuff- and heaven forbid I have to take a baby in a bathroom and am wearing pants- it's moider to hold the kid and get them back on all zipped up and stuff.

    See? Another reason kilts make more sense- you can hold babies while you go to the bathroom. I don't know that I'd put it on a t-shirt, but there ya go.

    I've done the "flip the pleats up in the back" technique many times, and it does work ok. But the problem I have is that eight yards of heavy woolen cloth is a bit harder to keep up and together than the signifigantly less material you are likely to find in a woman's skirt.

    Having done it both ways, I just found it easier to take the whole darned thing off. Removing the sporran gets that out of the way, and then all we are talking about is undoing two straps. And then you don't have to worry about it while you do your business.

    I need both hands free to read the newspaper, anyway. :-)

    Test Results

    Been trying out the various methods. Here's my conclusion. Wearing Utilikilt Mockers and Workman's this week so based on them only.

    Best way - At home, take it off and put it somewhere.

    Next best way - Not at home, take it off and drape it over shoulders like a cape. Serious, this works well.

    Next best way - Not at home, take it off and drape it over thighs.

    Toughest way - Not at home, flip up the back and do whatever gymnastics are necessary to keep the kilt from becoming soiled.
