Hey guys!

I know this might be a bit TMI for some, but I was curious what you guys think, yet again. I did some minimal research and most sites said 8 times a day TOPS but I think that seems a bit low, especially since I drink at least 8 cups of water a day (along with some tea, and sometimes diet soda - which I'm very aware I should quit).

How many times a day do you guys go number 1?

    It varies, but really you just need to pay attention to the colour of your pee if there isn't any obvious fluid retention.

    Clear...drink a little less, pale yellow just right, dark yellow drink more.

    At least 7-10. And I truly don't feel like I'm that person who is running to the bathroom a lot. In fact, sometimes at work I don't go from 8 am to 11:30 when I eat lunch, but I guarantee I ALWAYS go at least 6-7 times every day.

    Really!? This surprises me so much. Most women I've worked with go at least hourly to the point that I think wow, that's quite a lot (assuming they also pee at home before work and in the evening).

    Although...I once worked in a pharmacy where people didn't take meal breaks or restroom breaks. I have no idea how in the world they did it. I'd need to take a break 2-3 times during the nine hour shift and would get side-eyed by them! hehe

    A lot! 10 to 12 times probably, maybe more.

    She posted in another thread that she rarely drinks liquid and is often dehydrated and passes out. :huh:

    I'm with her. I've never counted but I drink a gallon of water a day so that leads to many a times I go to the bathroom. I'm sure I pee AT LEAST 4-5 times at work and probably AT LEAST another 4-5 times the rest of the day.

    I drink a ton of water (at least 9-10 cups a day) and I don't pee more than maybe 5 times a day. I don't really pay attention to it but that's what I'd estimate. I've always had a pretty hearty bladder though :glasses:

    You are really, really overthinking this. Pee when you need to pee. Drink water until you're sufficiently hydrated and when you're feeling thirsty.

    caffeine makes you pee more along with some health problems (diabetes). Get checked out if this is a new thing for you.

    As much as you need to pee! I don't measure my intake and output on a daily basis, lol.

    If you think something is off with your pee, call the doctor.

    I never really count how many times I go but I feel like it's a lot. I drink about 14 to 17 cups of water a day, depending on my needs. I was just curious cause web.md scared me because it said if you go more than 10 times a day you have a problem lol.

    I think 8 is a lot, but I only go 4-5 times a day on average. If I went 8 times, I would feel like I'm constantly in the bathroom.

    I drink at least 72 oz of water a day, so it's not because I'm dehydrated. I just have a big bladder I guess.

    People count how many times they pee a day. Should we also count how many times we blink?
