when wearing a Drysuit for long periods of time...

How do you deal with relieving yourself?
When I go out for a paddle, I usually go for several hours. During this
time, I can get out on the shore, and do what I need to do.
With a wetsuit, its even easyer.
Am I right that I have to peal off all the layers to do what is nessisary?
Any other options besides dehydration?
Thanks

Despite Pete's comments to the contrary, I consider a "relief zipper" in
a dry suit to be a must-have item, along with booties and a double
tunnel. I find that the diagonal chest zipper is not positioned properly
to easily be used as a relief zipper and unzipping entirely can be a
chilling experience on a cold, windy day. Everyone I know who owns a dry
suit feels the same way and those who've owned suits without relief
zippers have either had them added (~$100) or replaced their original
dry suits with suits with relief zippers.
Buying a dry suit without a relief zipper is like buying a
non-breathable dry suit; it's a mistake you make once.
