Bathroom for girls on the road. What do you use or for things to buy or bring with you if you have to go and can't make it somewhere?

I always carry emergency supplies. I have tried the "She-Wee" and the ability to pee on yourself is really really increased. I keep a stack of plastic soda cups.(32oz works well) That I pick up whenever I find a truck stop that has them. I also keep an empty gallon water bottle (from the dogs daily water) to transfer it to. There are times and places where you don't have facilities overnight, so I keep supplies that can make it a full night if I have to.

As for the other, I always always always carry gallon ziplock bags, and scented trash bags. One of the small bins I store flip flops in, is the perfect size to line with double trash bags if it's an emergency. I also keep baby wipes and paper towels. Use the "makeshift" facilities, seal in the ziplock, and dispose of in the next actual dumpster (not the fuel island trash cans. People have to handle those.) luckily I have only had to use this option twice in 3 years.

Some women carry camping potties, and elaborate kitty litter systems. For me, I can't justify the space based on how often I need to use it.

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

As for the gallon jug, take it into the next rest area, and pour it down the toilet, collapse the bottle, and dispose of in the trash. The goal is to not make another person handle your waste.
