OK, someone answer me this: Let's say an astronaut is doing a space walk or moon walk or whatever and he/she suddenly gets the urge to excrete something - and he/she can't hold it.

Some one please tell me that astronaut, encapsulated by all this hi tech stuff in the hostile realms of space, is using something besides a diaper. Some one please tell me there's something high tech built into that suit to handle such situations. Please.
