Xx4evRockerxX 702 Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 So, to start, what’s happening in the world right now with the virus is absolutely horrible. I have great hopes that everyone here and their families are safe and healthy. With that being said, I’ve noticed something recently that 6 months ago I would’ve found amazing. Now, however, I’m the midst of all going on, it’s more of an odd normal. What I mean by that is since people in my country started catching the virus and it started spreading, I’ve noticed that I tend to hold my bladder way more. Like WAY more. Usually well beyond what I would’ve used to for fun. However now, it’s much less out of fun, much more out of necessity. I’ve been practicing social distancing and staying at home as much as possible, as should all of you. So realistically, I only go out for work 3 days a week (yay for being “essential”), and grocery shopping once, maybe twice a week. I looked into delivery for groceries, but all those systems seem so overwhelmed right now, I’d rather not add strain to the system, and leave them for the older of sick. The reason I’ve been holding both more volume and for longer is two pronged as I see it. For multiple reasons, I’m refuse to go, or can’t go during the few times every week that I’m out of the house. Then, on the other side, I’m also holding way longer and having to get creative while at home. As far as why I hold it in public, there’s several reasons. Most stores and all rest stops are closed. Even a few gas stations in my area are closed. Pretty much, anywhere that doesn’t sell groceries is not open right now. And even out of some of those few remaining stores, the bathrooms have been locked, or switched to staff only. That takes A LOT of bathrooms out of the equation. But during my once or twice per week grocery run, I refuse to allow myself to go. Sure, the supermarket I go to has a bathroom. And they actually keep them open to their customers. Don’t even require a key. But I just can’t bring myself to use it. It’s too big of a risk as far as I’m concerned. Yes, I wear my mask while out. And yes, I wear rubber gloves. I’m careful not to touch my face, phone, keys, or anything else besides the cart and my groceries with them. To pay, I just pull one glove off, swipe my card, and push my cart out to the car / load my car with just my gloves hand. It takes quite literally forever, but when you watch the NEWS and see the number of positives in my area double overnight, multiple days in a row, it’s a necessary pain as far as I’m concerned. Which is why I refuse to go while in public. The logistics of it are too complicated. Do I take my gloves off when I get into the stall, or pull my pants down then remove them? Do I just not remove them and not wipe? Following that, then I wouldn’t be able to wash my hands. Gross. But then if they’re off in the stall, do I put another set on to pull my pants back up? I guess after that, I’d have a new pair and wouldn’t have to wash my hands. Except that only works until I pull them off to get into my car. Then I’m back to having unwashed hands for the ride home. I also would have to high squat, which I usually do in public, but what if I lost my balance? It’s all just too much to think about. So to simplify, I don’t pee in public right now. At all. Which has led to a few close calls, photo finishes, uncomfortably wet undies, and some creative solutions. That includes the days I work. Which is much harder, considering I work 12 hour days. Before all this started, I had tried several times to make it through a work day without a bathroom break. That was all for the fun of it, and just to see if I could. I could not. Not a single time. But, I think I know why. When it was for fun, I used to drink a lot more water. Probably even more on the days I tried to hold all day than any other time. Because it was for fun, so it didn’t matter. I also think I couldn’t Make it all day because I’d give up and just go before I got into the danger zone of maybe not being able to hold it. I was at work, after all, so not being able to hold it, even if I just lost a few spurts, would be mortifying. So at best, I could only make it 10 of my 12 hours. Now however, I’m consistently holding it not only the drive in and all through my 12 hours, but sometimes even through my drive home. How am I making it through the day now, when I couldn’t before? I think it’s largely because I don’t really have a choice. As far as I’m concerned, the shared bathroom at work is just too big of a risk. It’s unisex, so there’s just way too many people going in and out, touching the lock, sink, who knows what else. Maybe coughing while in there. Probably not wearing their mask while going. Yes, I’m somewhat of a germaphobe anyway, so I actually think like this. Knock on wood, it’s kept me healthy so far. So I drink a little less water on work days to help me hold it. I also allow myself to get into that danger area. To not be sure I can make it. Obviously I can’t hold myself, so usually I have to just cross my legs and focus. The other factor leading to me holding much more often is while at home. I’m not sure about other countries around the world, but mine has run out of toilet paper. For over a month now, I haven seen a single roll on a shelf, nor has any been in stock online. Fortunately, I usually always buy in bulk anyway, and had a big 48 roll pack downstairs when this all started, but that’s it. So I have some, but what I have is seemingly all I’m going to have for the foreseeable future. Which means using less. Which means peeing less. I’ve settled into allowing myself 3 pees per day. On work days, I go once right before leaving for work, once immediately upon arrival home (pending I was able to make it home and didn’t have to get creative on the drive) and once before bed. On my off days, it’s usually once when I wake up, once around dinner, and again before bed. Now when I say 3 pees per day, what I mean is 3 toilet pees per day where I actually sit down on my toilet and wipe when done. Obviously, that’s not always the case. I also take full advantage of other opportunities. For example, I’ll wait to shower on my off days until I’m bursting, then go while in the shower. As the weather gets warmer, I’m also utilizing wearing no underwear and a dress or skirt while out in the garden (though it’s a little cool yet, it is very convenient). And other things along those lines so I can relieve my overworked bladder without having to use my previous remaining TP. All told, I’m holding and sometimes wetting more now than ever in my life, but having less fun. It’s a weird world. LilMiss, DespAndHold, Tangosierra97 and 10 others 11 2 Quote Link to comment
SpaceWonderer 699 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It is a weird time indeed. I am sorry to hear that you're not having fun with newly opened holding and wetting opportunities but I have to admit limiting amount of times you relieve your bladder and waiting until you have a bursting bladder to use it, especially when it's in your control (like on days off) sounds really hot.

Aloe 580 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I’ve experience something similar. I’m the only healthy person in my household at this time, so I’m all geared up on a regular basis. I’m also still working, so that’s made me even more careful. Luckily, all staff has been vetted, and we have a private bathroom. We’re also not seeing anyone for in person appointments, so that mitigates the risk. But I’ve gone grocery shopping every other week since this all started. On average, I’m going to 2 different stores, and spending about an hour or more in each store, due to the massive lines, and waits, and shortages of supplies. That means I’m sometimes on the road for almost 4 hours at a time, and I usually leave right from work, to get a jump on the rush. But that’s basically the last time I can use the bathroom until I get home. I’ve had to monitor my fluid intake in the last hour or so of work, so I don’t get desperate while shopping. It’s happened once already, and I’ve had several sightings while at the grocery store and the bank. It’s been wild. Quote Link to comment
homeanddry 307 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It's all very odd and I'm not sure that I like it. I was thinking about it earlier. It hasn't made much difference to me in an omo sense, really, yet at least. I don't spend anywhere near enough time out shopping to have to worry about it, but then there's often quite long queues to get into most shops at the moment which might change things for some people. I still (carefully) use the toilets at work because I drink too much tea not to - I think the public toilets are closed in most places that we go to, but I rarely use them anyway as we usually have our own facilities available. In normal times, there's plenty of omo potential during the working day in between toilet opportunities, but even that's less of a thing at the moment because we're not doing anywhere near as much work and everything's generally much more relaxed. Strange times indeed. Quote Link to comment

33applepies 42 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'm not working right now but I'm trying to go less for that same reason. I'm just... not nearly as successful. There's no way in hell I could only pee 3 times a day, even while dehydrated. Tbh I am one of those people who normally have to pee every 1-2 hours, so I'm limiting myself to 7 a day instead of 8-12 (not kidding, I really do have a small bladder. This is me trying). I've actually managed to only pee 6 times for a couple of days, which for me is amazing. Limiting coffee intake helps. Buttt because I got horrible sleep last night and am thus awake longer, I might not be able to make it today and might need to take 8 bathroom breaks. Honestly for my last pee of the day I pee right before I shower and clean up in the shower. I've also perfected using less tp, which I'm not going to go into detail about because tmi lol. Honestly, though, peeing that infrequently and holding through 12 hour shifts just isn't healthy. Although I agree with you, the logistics of public restrooms right now do make it really awkward at best. Also, 48 rolls is a LOT. I don't think you need to be as conservative as you are. It's just not good for every day. Just being honest. It's honestly a sad and scary situation to be in. It's like every aspect of our lives is in danger, even basic needs like... going to the bathroom. It's a human rights issue. Quote Link to comment
DespAndHold 337 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I agree it must take the fun out of the situation given what is causing you to wait so often. However we all need some release and some enjoyment during these times so don’t feel guilty if it comes with some benefits and you can enjoy the desperation and showing you are the master of your bladder i would love to hear about how you get creative On the drive home when you can’t contain yourself Quote Link to comment

Well, it’s been about a month of this now (since my state really started to shut everything down and go into shelter in place laws), so a few different ways at this point. I have no problem admitting I’ve wet myself on the ride home. Like full on no control whatsoever wetting. Twice. In all fairness, I pretty much knew it was going to happen. I don’t know about anyone else, and I’ve never really delved into looking it up online, but I have 2 main ways my bladder feels full - a more painful full and a more pressure full. Obviously, I don’t really mess around with the times my bladder is more painful full. I will always find a way to at least let some out. But I have noticed it’s less volume. I don’t know why, but every so often I just skip the full feeling and go right to aching painful kind of full. On the other hand, the much more common and fun pressure full kind is what I’ve had recently. On the 2 occasions I’ve recently wet myself in the car, both times I felt that pressure sort of increase exponentially while at the end of the day and realistically knew I wouldn’t be able to hold it. Fortunately, since this all started and I’m sort of germaphobic, I sit on a folded up towel on my seat to drive home. That way, when I get home, I just strip down in the garage, (which may or may not give my neighbor across the street a free show), throw my clothes and the towel right in to be washed, and shower in the downstairs bathroom. Easy. Ultimately it doesn’t really end up mattering that I wet other than knowing that I couldn’t wait. On a side note, I noticed that on both occasions, I was wearing those faux silky kind of panties. Honestly not sure if they’re satin or what they’re actually made of, but you guys know the kind. I’m not sure if it’s just coincidence, or just me, or what, but I seem to have a little harder time holding while wearing that kind of underwear vs. any others. Anyways, I’ve mostly successfully had to use an old coffee cup from my local drive through that’s been rolling around my backseat for way too long. Felt way better filling it up than it did emptying it. Unfortunately, pretty much all of them in my area are either closed now, or I just don’t trust that it’s safe. Too much contact. I make tea for myself in the morning now at home and bring it with me. I’ve also mostly unsuccessfully used an old water bottle to relieve some pressure. Fun fact about me - when I really have to go, my stream is wider than the opening of an average water bottle. That’s now a thing I know about myself. It was also another wet towel to wash. There’s a few things I’m really not going to try while all this is going on. I’m not going to pull over somewhere and pop a squat. Normally, I’d jump at the opportunity. But with so few cars out lately, one stopped on the side of the road raises more eyebrows than it once did. I’m not trying to put on that much of a show for someone. Even somewhere somewhat secluded just feels like a risk. I’m also not going to use diapers or pads. I have a few diapers still sitting at home, but I’m saving them for particularly special occasions. Not the ride home from work. And with the supply chain really starting to struggle, I can justify buying more. I’m a size 7 in the little kids types, and a small in the adult sizes. But the shelves are starting to dwindle and I can’t bring myself to take a pack away from someone who actually needs them. Something I will do though, I’d take my shirt off (I usually wear a cami underneath so no, I wasn’t just driving in my bra) and bunch it up around my underwear to slowly let a little bit at a time out into. It’s all getting washed anyway. As long as I’m at a point of fullness where I still have control and can stop my stream, this has proven effective. As we continue through this, I’ve got a few ideas for things to try. I have an old 1 liter water bottle downstairs sitting around with a wide mouth. I might just designate that my car she-urinal. I’ve also started looking into those things that let you pee standing up. Might have to invest in one so I can use regular water bottles too. Part of me wants to try something that would allow me at least some relief while at work without having to go into the bathroom, and obviously without diapers or pads. But I’m not sure. There’s significantly less staff there, a lot are able to work from home, so if ever there was a time to try new things, might as well be now. Stay safe everyone!

Ms. Tito 1,568 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I had to pee outside because all the rest stops were closed lol Quote Link to comment
Xx4evRockerxX 702 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I had to pee at work. I’ve tried so hard not to since this all began. So hard. And I thought I was starting to get into a rhythm with how to hold it through my day. I’ve even gotten into the habit of putting a towel on my car seat and unbuttoning / unzipping my pants and pulling them down enough when I get in. But none of that mattered earlier this week. I first realized something was off about 6 hours in. I just had more of a dull pressure feeling that I thought I should. Like I knew I needed to pee. If I was just at home and it was normal times, I would have. But this isn’t normal times and I wasn’t at home. I felt like I needed to go more than normal at that point in the day given my recent experiences. By eight hours in, I knew it wasn’t gonna happen. That I would have to go before my 12 was up. My legs were constantly crossed. Foot tapping. Mind wandering. Bladder bulging against my pants and undies, throbbing with any movement. I thought long and hard about what to do. Came up with an assortment of colorful solutions, but sadly, none of them were as realistic as what I knew was going to happen. I had to pee in the bathroom. I’ve peed in this bathroom hundreds, maybe even thousands of times over the years. I’ve peed in there when I really, really needed to go. I’ve peed in there when I barely needed to. I’ve even peed in there when I was trying to avoid someone or something and peeing was a better option. I have not, however, peed in there since Coronavirus started spreading near where I live. I have peed in bottles, cups, on towels and shirts. I’ve leaked and lost many a dribbles, especially on the way to the bathroom after getting home. I’ve even opted to completely wet myself. But none of that mattered as hour 9 rolled around. The time had arrived. My bladder stopped requesting relief and decided for me - it was time to pee. Fortunately no one was using it and I was able to scoot right in without delay. Just the sight of the toilet made me need to go so much worse right then, which I hadn’t even thought was possible. But I had work to do first. I grabbed my bottle of disinfecting wipes and wiped down the lock first so I could properly ensure my privacy. I’d wanted to do that immediately upon closing the door, but every single person who uses that bathroom (hopefully) touches that lock. I had to wipe it first. Then I pulled off my pants and underwear to hang up, which again, made me need to go so much worse. I had to stop, bend over, and dig my hand into my crotch. If I couldn’t hold it, I didn’t want the damage to be too bad. Actually, let me rephrase that. When I stopped being able to hold it, I didn’t want to end up with wet work clothes. i then set to work wiping down the toilet handle, the seat, and the wall right next to the toilet. Finally, FINALLY... I high squatted over the toilet and peed. And peed. And peeeeed. I felt bad if anyone was outside waiting. Also felt an odd mix of embarrassed and proud. Mostly, I just felt relief. To be fair, I only used the absolute minimum amount of toilet paper to get the job done, just like I do at home. So while yes, I did use the bathroom at work, I don’t plan on doing so again for a while. But who knows, my body and mind don’t always see eye to eye.

Violla 8 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I feel this. I’ve just been holding my pee for no reason. Like going back to sleep with a bull blather. To the point of almost peeing in my bed for no reason 😞 Quote Link to comment
