I have two different wetsuits that I use depending on the water temp.

My 3mm is NRS grizzly suit, best part it has a "relief zipper" on the bottom. So you can zip the bottom zipper up and it opens the access area, which allows you to go without peeing in the suit.

My 7mm is Bare, its a farmer john style but doesnt have the relief zipper, if the waters cold enough for the suit the pee actually helps keep you warm. Kind of weird the first few times, but you get used to it and it does help to warm the suit.

I use a good shampoo that i got from a dive shop, was $7 or 8 for the bottle and you only use a cap full. I rinse down the suit everytime, and once a week, give it a good soak in the soap and warm water, never had a smell isuues.

This is more embrassing than your pee question. The issue is "chub rub"

The other thing you might experience is "chub rub". If your a bigger guy and walk any distance in the suit you might get some chafing around your groin, private and leg area, tends to happen in warmer weather. They sell special lotions and stuff, but its just a non scented deodrant stick, I use degree or speed stick, a little rub on the thighs and legs and your good to go. Will make those long walks more enjoyable, especially if you fish daily.

Hope that helps.
