How do I prepare my bladder for a road trip?
How do I prepare my bladder for a road trip? Prepare your bladder strength. Limiting urination to scheduled times of day, and not to when you have the urge to go, will help condition the bladder to wait for set pee breaks. The key is to gradually lengthen times between trips, so this process should be planned weeks ahead.
How often should you pee on a road trip?
A normal range of voiding (or peeing) is every 2-4 hours, so try to plan your stops accordingly. Avoid going “just in case” or stopping more often than every 2 hours.
How can I control my bladder on a road trip?
As soon as you feel an urge, quickly contract your pelvic floor muscles 5 to 10 times while taking a few deep breaths. Distractions, such as counting backwards, may also help you successfully postpone your need to urinate.
