6. Know Where You Can “Go”
Whether you’re packing up for a cross-country trip or simply hitting the shops to buy some gifts, you’ll want to know exactly where the bathrooms are in case the urge strikes.
Instead of waiting until you’re on the road or at the mall to see what your options are, try the app Sit or Squat. It makes it really easy to pinpoint exact bathroom locations wherever you may be, and you can see ratings, which should help you avoid the, er, less delightful facilities.
You can even look into the facilities ahead of time, and consider taking the first bathroom opportunity you come across. Even if you don’t think you have to go, emptying your bladder at the start of your trip will offer some insurance against leaks later on.
Less stress means less risk of incontinence, which translates to less oab embarrassment.
