As a person who lives in a major city and doesn’t own a car, going pee “just in case” is part of my routine every time I leave the house. Getting stuck on public transit with a full bladder and nowhere to go<\/a> is a recipe for disaster\u2014and as moms know, pee-mergencies only become more common as you age. But surprise! We’re all doing this wrong. A pelvic floor-focused physical therapist went viral for her 2022 TikTok video about why you shouldn’t<\/em> go “just in case,” and the video is so universally useful (and counterintuitive!) that it’s making the rounds again.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas made the\u00a0video<\/a> as a stitch with another TikToker who argued that you should\u00a0always<\/em> pee when you have the chance, because in life (at least, in the U.S., where public bathrooms can be hard to come by), you don’t always know when the next opportunity will come along.<\/p>\n

“Pelvic floor physical therapist here, and I work with a lot of people with overactive bladders, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, the whole nine yards,” Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas explains in her clip. “And here’s why you shouldn’t go ‘just in case.'”<\/p>\n
