---

Is it part of a device to enable the buster to pee without having to take off his pack? Because if so, I'm thinking that there'd be no comfortable or practical equivalent for someone who posesses a vulva. Ugh! You'd be better off crossing yr legs & holding it in! Or wearing a diaper, like astronauts do.

This is a rumor that really needs to just die already. It's not a pee hose.

it's part of the uniform. yes.

That's no pee hose. It's a space station.

It's a fart tube. But we all know girls don't fart.

sure they do, they mostly fart in their sleep.

If the girl GB is in a skirt, then I guess she cant have a leg hose can she?

MrsRayStantz did it. I think it looked okay.

Even if the leg hose was actually used for this, I don't think there would be a comfortable way to use it no matter what your anatomy. I'm assuming it would be connected via catheter, which doesn't sound enjoyable.

uuurkk... imagin the guys putting in a catheter every day,
propably helping each other hahaha, gross...

Well Ms Staypuft im going to say yes for uniform sake. I don’t think there is a practical use for the hose at least not one ive found (im voting for the fart tube idea) Taking pieces out do to gender seems more like a kind of segregation from the male counterparts than anything else.
I myself am a ladybuster and have a full uniform, hose and all.
If you want one cool if not that’s ok too. Its all up to you.

I wouldn't think that it would be an actual catheter, probably more like the space shuttle toilet where there's a hose attached to male / female adapter (in the GBs case, probably rigged up through some sort of modified jockstrap)... though those rely on suction... and the GBs probably aren't going to want to strip down to their underwear (or less) in the lobby of the firehouse, in order to slip on their adapters...

Yer overthinking it. Its a design element of a movie costume.

For female busters, it just becomes a choice if it can be added to a modified more femine version of the uniform.

Maryl-lyn did a great job incorporating that detail into a female version, I thought. Obviously for mini skirts though might be tougher, but I get that some girls want something sexier.

I agree that MrsRayStantz pulled it off well, but I think this would probably be an optional item.

I hate it when someone comes and just kills the fun of thinking what a part might be for in a snap. It's all a part of the make believe thing.

It might be fun to ask Dan or Ernie what their thoughts on this tube are...

It's not even present on the grey GB2 uniforms, so it's not per se a requirement.

We gave Jacqueline a Leg Hose. It velcro's up underneath the belt gizmo holster. No one USES the effin' leg hose for anything, so if you like the look of it put it on there, if you don't, leave it off. I don't think anyone is going to really be thinking you have that thing shoved up into your crotch, or anywhere else for that matter.

Thanks for your input, guys. I ended up buying a leg hose & connector from Multimedia Mayhem.

It is, as you said, part of the uniform.

If it's not connected to a condom catheter like a fighter pilot's waste hose then a female ghostbuster would presumably have one, and if it is then the implication that I might secretly have a penis is pretty lolarious.

After I sewed it on, I realised (too late) that it would sit flatter on the fabric, and be attached more securely, if there were a thin metal or plastic disc on the inside of the fabric with matching holes. The fabric wouldn't be able to stretch/crease between the holes, and the weight would be distributed a little more evenly over the fabric.

Not to worry, the technology has improved over the years and there are now, in fact, hoses for female pilots (see top portion of image posted below). As a bonus coincidence, please note that the hose is stored pointing to the left thigh (though, as I mentioned earlier, IRL the system requires suction to operate)!



The remainder of the photo is of the right thigh of Al Shepard's Apollo 14 space suit (and is to poke at the naysayers a bit ). See anything remotely familiar? That blue connector (again, located on the thigh of the suit) is called a "UTC". U.T.C. stands for "Urine Transfer Connector".

All this talk in regards to the leg hose is hilarious. The fact is, there has never been an explanation as to what that hose is for, but it is definitely fun to think about the possibilities. Like Cosmic-Riptide pointed out that same style of hose can be seen on fighter pilot uniforms, and space suits, which are designed specifically for long periods of flight when bathrooms are not available to allow the passing of urine. They have rigging inside the uniform that attaches comfortably to the male or female parts which are then attached to a suction type system by means of a U.T.C. and hose that allows the urine to pass safely to the outside of the cockpit without breaking the seal in the pressurized environment of a jet or space shuttle. Since our beloved Ghostbusters are in fact wearing flight suits, it is obviously assumed that those hoses are used for that specific purpose. However, since it has never been confirmed, please allow the imagination to run wild. Why?... because its fun. Thank you.

Ghosts are scary. I wouldn't want to piss my pants while out on a bust!

Thanks for all the love guys. I do have a flight suit now and I moved the leg hose to that. I did it cause I try to be as accurate as possible. I like your idea of the metal on the inside. I have to resew mine after every 3 or 4 events I do and it's such a pain.
