Drinking only water and lots of it, will flush the electrolytes out of your body. Electrolytes act as sponges to help keep fluids in your bloodstream. If you flush them away, and then drink more water after that...that water has nothing to hold onto and it rushes straight out. You must have electrolytes in your system while you're drinking your water. Think sodium and potassium. That's way over-simplified and probably not 100% accurate, but I like visuals and it's good enough.

This is interesting. I wonder if drinking Smart Water would help solve her problem. Doesn't it have electrolytes added into it?

I tend to agree with macr0babe above. I grew up in India where it is really hot. People drink a lot less water, and pee a lot less frequently. The OP must consult a physician to check whether she has any bladder control issues.

I've see the smart water, but haven't tried it. Will definitely give it a go. I will also talk with my primary doc on my next visit about my "issues" just to rule out anything serious. Thanks!!

Just drink more and your body will adapt. I drink at least 3 litres on a typical day, up to 4 sometimes, but don't go to washroom any more than an average person would. Even while pregnant, I drank that much and still only had to get up once per night to pee. Just start slow. Increase gradually, rather than trying to drink a ton all at once.

Just pull over and pee on a tree

For all your peeing on a tree needs.


My husband got this for me as a gag gift last Christmas and didn't understand why I though it was kinda awesome.

thissssss and there are also FtM devices too for a more realistic STP experience

I'd actually suggest seeing a doc to make sure everything is good 'down there', too. Peeing often can be an indicator of an infection, etc [many others exist besides STDs, so don't worry, not saying that. xD].
