How To Avoid Bathroom Trips On Your Flight: Top Tips From A Pelvic Floor PT

HI FRIEND,

Today's episode is inspired by one of my patients who travels frequently for work, spending hours in airports and on planes.

Traveling by plane can be stressful enough without constantly worrying about bladder leaks or urgent trips to the bathroom. In this episode of Stop Peeing Your Pants, we dive into expert strategies to help you manage your bladder while flying.

Learn how to set yourself up for success on the morning of your flight by wearing non-restrictive clothing, avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine and artificial sweeteners, and making sure to poop before you leave. Once at the airport, simple routine changes—like walking around before boarding instead of sitting at the gate—can help reduce the urge to go. On the plane, choosing the right snacks and drinks can make all the difference in preventing urge incontinence, and knowing how to handle your first urge mid-flight can keep you from making unnecessary trips to the tiny airplane bathroom.

Beyond travel-specific strategies, this episode also covers key bladder health tips, including daily bladder norms, the impact of medications, and how to retrain your brain and bladder to reduce overactive bladder symptoms. Whether you experience leaks when sneezing, running, laughing, or jumping, or just feel like you're always searching for the nearest restroom, these practical techniques can help you take control.

We really shouldn’t have an issue with holding our bladder and there is always a deeper cause. For example, when I was dealing with urge incontinence, my root cause was the food/drinks that were in my diet because there were so many bladder irritants I was consuming. I lead you through all of this, the education, workouts, and have a plan on a calendar, a 1:1 session with me, private facebook group for Q & A’s! Check out both tier options below!
