Spectator9 953 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Doctors who treat daytime incontinence will tell you not to do precautionary pees as a habit because it trains your bladder to empty when it contains little urine. Instead, unless you're going someplace where there will be no toilets available (like on a car trip), wait until you really need to pee before using the toilet. And then, try to add five or ten minutes beyond the point when you would go. Even at my age, once a day I hold my pee until it gets really urgent. Quote Link to comment

Consequently, when trying to become one I never passed a bathroom without stopping to let out a few drops. Don’t know if it helped, but something or combination of things sure did.

Guest K95F Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Living with this bladder I would consider myself a precautionary pee-er. But I'm also a shy person and have some issues with anxiety so I really don't like attracting attention. It can change situations. Quote Link to comment
Imabedwetter 316 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I would say that I take precautionary pees most of the time. But there are times where I take some risks too. The risks end up with wet pants sometimes though. For example, a few weeks ago we ate at a restaurant and I didn't pee before we left the restaurant. We stopped at Walmart on the way home. I went to use the bathroom at the store but they were closed for cleaning. We headed home and my wife grabbed the groceries while I ran into the house. I ended up peeing in my pants on the way to the bathroom. I didn't make it in time and was standing in a puddle of pee in front of the toilet. I told her I didn't make it and she helped me clean up after my accident. I help my wife clean up when she pees in her pants or if she wets the bed too. We help each other out like that.

Stanley79 636 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Age 14-17 I loved holding for hours. But college called for coffee with study-mates and a different schedule each week day. After some embarrassing squirming and wetting a dorm bed, I became a preemptive peer. Since the prostatectomy, preemptive pees became essential. Quote Link to comment
Holdimax 215 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It depends... (Not a very helpful comment, I know) Usually I like to take the risk and run into trouble: starting a road trip with an already very full bladder and getting caught in a traffic jam. Getting up and skipping my morning pee, driving to work and erroneously assuming that there will not be a meeting before lunch time. Going to bed with a bladder loaded since early morning, just curious to see what happens. Attending a saturday night party and remembering a last piss 16 hrs ago. But on the other hand: I pee before I board a plane or before festivities like weddings or funerals.......... Quote Link to comment
Cristiano97 300 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I never had problems using a public bathroom, I usually take precautions such as going to the bathroom before going out wherever it is because you never know how long you can be without being able to use one again, however, I have found myself in situations of using toilets emergency on more than one occasion in supermarkets, train stations and even in open fields and trees. In addition to the fact that I have always been a person who thinks less about where he goes to the bathroom, but rather about doing what I need to do, it is not as if I was going to get a killer plague from using someone else's toilet, in any case my emergencies were in mostly because of pee and in case of a number two I always carry disposable tissues because it is easier to find a toilet without paper than a clean toilet.
