Very carefully. Space bathroom technology has come a long way over the years (there was a time when astronauts only had adhesive plastic bags as bathrooms), but it's still not exactly comfortable. Aboard the International Space Station, the toilets are designed with no gravity in mind—they use funnels, narrow openings, and vacuums to make sure the waste is contained.

Astronauts even go through special toilet training to make sure they can use the space potty properly, since it's kind of fragile and very expensive—NASA bought one for $19 million in 2008.

Early Mercury space capsule astronauts used diapers; later Gemini and Apollo missions collected the waste in plastic bags. On the Space Shuttles and the ISS, there is a special zero-gravity toilet that uses gentile suction to keep things moving in the right direction.

The thing about space is that no one has ever been in space. It is all made up.

You can look it up on YouTube! ;) I saw some astronauts show you a bathroom tour on the ISS. It is very facinating.
