Old people's problems

Jarred Diamond on the danger of taking showers That Daily Shower Can be a Killer via 3quarksdaily where the suggested solutions by commentators are using stools or grab bars.
A less dangerous problem is with the bladder. According to Sadat Manto ""Out here, many Mullah types after urinating pick up a stone and with one hand inside their untied shalwar, use the stone to absorb the after-drops of urine as they resume their walk." I have not heard of modern solutions. May be some sort of diapers.
