The problem is not so much flopping Percy out, as flopping him out in such a way that the entire
length is pointing down. I'm sure you're familiar with what happens when you fail to get your fly
down all the way and end up with JT forming an inverted 'J' as he leaves your trousers - you always
get a little bit left in the urethra that just leaks out as soon as everything is back in place. So
the trick is to avoid that situation.
Lift the bottoms of any upper garments covering the bib (the shirtlifting stage is, unfortunately,
an essential part of the procedure). Reach inside said garments and pull the zip of the bib down as
far as it will go. Now stand in an "I've just got off a horse after a week in the saddle" pose, and
pull the lycra at the bottom of the zip down as far as it will go. Lean forward slightly. You should
now, with practice, be able to answer nature's call without removing any clothes.

I used to do that, at first. If I hadn't figured out a way around it, I would never have bought
another pair of bibs.
