How long can you hold it in before you pee your pants while being on a road trip? I can manage for about an hour or hour and a half. Then I really need to go to a rest stop or pull over. I think I need to tone it down with drinking water while driving on the roads for a trip.

Totally depends. (No pun intended!!) There are times when I drink a little bit and have to go in 30 min, other times when I can go a couple hours and be ok. Usually I stop about every 2 hours or so to stretch my legs and get off my butt. I'm 6'9" and don't like being folded up in a car for too long. Usually try to match those with a tinkle stop.

The hell with holding it. Why not just piss in the wind :biggrin: ! Just make sure your driving in reverse with the cruise control on...

I'm good for a tank of gas. Eat salty snacks it will retain the water and reduce the needs.

^^what he said, i drive 900 miles somewhat regularly and a couple times i only stopped when i needed gas.(3 fill ups, and not a whole lot of fun)

i drink sports drinks and juice for the first 6 hours or so, then switch to soda and dont drink energy drinks till i feel sleepy... GPS says 12.5 hours and i normally make it in 13.5-14



i know its not safe to drive over 8 hours, when i graduate in june im never doing it again, lmao



luckily im not the kind of person to get tired driving but idk about carpel tunnel in my wrists; they always hurt by the end..



take care of yourselfs cause holding it in isnt good for you either; its not worth problems later in life!
