Now here's a little story I've got to tell
About the man Maud'dib you know so well
It started way back in history
With Agamemnon and the Benne G

I had a little wormy named Shai Hulud
Just me and my mormy and a litrejon
Riding across the land kicking up sand
Baron's posse on my tail 'cause I'm in demand
One lonely 'tredies I be
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beating down on my stillsuit hat
The air is gettin' hot for this aristocrat

Lookin' for a girl I ran into a guy
His name it was Jamis, I said, "Howdy" he said, "Die"
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed
Four days from the sietch and i'd be dying of thirst
The blade was in my hand and he was on my tip
His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry and he asked me for a sip
He said, "Can I get some?"
I said, you can't get none!
Had a chance to run
He pulled out his lasgun
Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,

If the Stillsuit collects urine and feces, then there shouldn't be any reason it wouldn't collect other fluids.

Come to think of it, the stillsuit must have some sort of highly advanced cooling/breathing system as a function of it's fibers. Walking around the desert in a non-breathable full body suit? You'd heat stroke out in minutes.
So, you'd lose some water through sweat evaporation. There is no way around that

I said earlier in this thread that I choose to believe the stillsuit bathes the wearer and removes the filth in order for Dune to be enjoyable.

The stillsuit can be as futuristic and complex as you want to in order to make the story work, including cooling and aerating skin and turning feces into beef jerky

MAybe that is scientifically true, but the text says a thimble of water per day, mostly through the hands.

Liet Kynes says there's a way around that:

quote:

It's basically a micro-sandwich � a high-efficiency filter and heat-exchange system. The skin-contact layer's porous. Perspiration passes through it, having cooled the body ... near-normal evaporation process. The next two layers . . . include heat exchange filaments and salt precipitators. Salt's reclaimed. Motions of the body, especially breathing and some osmotic action provide the pumping force. Reclaimed water circulates to catchpockets from which you draw it through this tube in the clip at your neck... Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads. In the open desert, you wear this filter across your face, this tube in the nostrils with these plugs to ensure a tight fit. Breathe in through the mouth filter, out through the nose tube. With a Fremen suit in good working order, you won't lose more than a thimbleful of moisture a day...

"Oh, Paul had a deformed kid because his prescient vision was more like a prescient septic tank. Yeah, he was a coward so much, his son could only become a monster sandworm-person."
"Wait. Paul had a kid?"

Yeah, they make no bones that Fremen life is rough. I'm still pretty sure that spice is one of the few things that makes it tolerable.

And stillsuits are specifically advanced technology, and I imagine even the best ones still need regular maintenance and cleaning out. Probably something that Star Wars might have taken from Dune; super-advanced technology is still technology, it needs maintenance and repair, and can get old and worn out and obsolete. And there's mention of shoddy knockoff stillsuits that are probably more trouble than they're worth.
