In sure you can quite easily find a famous clip of Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard asking capcom whether he can pee in his suit, and being given permission. Shortly after the circuits for monitoring his heartbeat shorted out. His launch was delayed by hours while he sat strapped in.

Since then a catheter and nappy are pretty standard.
