5. Travel Strategically
With holidays come travel, and for some that means long bus trips or flights that can test your bladder control — and add a lot of stress to the season. The key to plan travel early and carefully; booking the right seat, plotting a smart path, and fueling appropriately can make a huge difference.
If you’re flying, book an aisle seat relatively close to a restroom. Pass on liquids during the two hours leading to your departure — cabin pressure changes and your seatbelt can aggravate your bladder, so the emptier, the better.
For any type of travel, divide your daily liquid intake into small portions so you don’t take in too much without realizing, and pack an extra outfit in case you do have an accident. If there’s a road trip in your future, print out a map of your route and mark rest stops clearly.
There's nothing like enjoying a cup of a coffee. Except, OAB and caffeine consumption can have some complications. Learn more here.
