Explore without limits: Incontinence-friendly travel tips to make your road trip a success

By taking some well-planned steps, like scheduling bathroom breaks into your itinerary and packing extra incontinence products, you can tackle any road trip discomforts and enjoy your travels to the fullest.

 If you're planning a road trip but are worried about traveling with urinary incontinence, we've got some tips for you. 

Prepare Now: Train Your Bladder Before You Travel

If you're planning a long road trip but struggle with incontinence, don't worry - training your bladder before you hit the open road is possible.

Keep Track of Your Bathroom Schedule

One of the best ways to prepare for a long journey is to train your bladder using bladder drills. First, start keeping a record of how frequently you typically need to urinate. By establishing a schedule for when you'll go to the bathroom, you can better plan for stops on your trip and gradually lengthen the time between them. Also, if you feel like you have to go, but it isn't time yet, try urge suppression techniques like contracting your pelvic floor muscles.

Get stronger pelvic floor & bladder muscles with Kegels

You might be surprised to learn that kegels, a type of exercise to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, can be performed by anyone, regardless of gender. By practicing kegels, you'll effectively tone up both your pelvic floor and bladder muscles.

Stop Unexpected Urge To Go: Use `Freeze and Squeeze`

If you suddenly feel the urge to urinate, don't panic! Instead, try the "Freeze and Squeeze" method where you pause and do a few kegels to give yourself more time to find a bathroom. So, next time you hit the road for a long drive, remember these bladder training tips to keep yourself comfortable and confident throughout the journey.

With these simple tricks, you can enjoy a road trip without the worry of incontinence.

Bathroom Breaks: Plan Ahead for a Worry-Free Journey with Incontinence

Using Along the Way, SitorSquat and USA Rest Stops apps to Stay Prepared

A great tip to keep in mind is to plan bathroom breaks along your route. You can do this by using helpful apps like Along the Way, SitorSquat, or USA Rest Stops to locate the nearest bathrooms.

It's also a good idea to prioritize finding bathrooms when you visit a new location, just in case. If you are going through multiple bottles of water a day, reducing your overall fluid intake might help too, but stay hydrated. Remember, dehydration can make your symptoms worse.

Enjoy Your Next Road Trip: Eat Foods that Won't Aggravate Incontinence

Making smart food choices is one way to make your travels more comfortable. It's no secret that some foods can aggravate your incontinence, making you feel like you need to use the bathroom more frequently.

To avoid this, consider foods that will bring you the least amount of discomfort. It's best to bypass caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, carbonated beverages, chocolate, preservatives, spicy or acidic foods and opt for foods that are high in fiber and low in acidity. Remember, taking care of your bladder while on the road will make your road trip a more enjoyable experience.
