PDF THINK TANK: ANALYST
How long is the average flight mission for a fighter jet like the F-15, which I believe you flew?
Another issue is what if you had "to go" very badly during one of the missions. I know that they had bottles on civilian planes where they can take care of the liquid waste. Astronauts also have built in urinals. Do the G-suits have such accessories?

Today pilots use a Advanced Mission Extender Device, there is a male and female version. The male version has a strategically placed cup and the womens version has a pad. To urinate simple unzip the flight suit, remove the hose and pump the urine from the cup or pad to the collection bag.
Our average mission was between 1.5 and 2.0 hours without refueling. With AAR, it can become indefinite. In my time, we had piddle packs, which were nothing more than a compressed sponge in a plastic bag. We avoided them... I've probably used them maybe a dozen times, max.
