So here is the thing. Little mermaid is set some time before 1840.
Under garments for women were not used till 1860. There was no:
Pants
Panties
Petticoats
Bloomers
Or
Any form of undergarments. It was just layers of dress and bare ass.
So she would of not been "shitting her pants" she would of let it fall as may.
But mermaids seemed like intelligent creatures so I doubt they thought it right to poop/pee next to one another. So she more than likely would excuse her self and go poop/pee in a corner.
