In this episode, I address the challenges many women face when traveling with bladder issues, particularly around the holidays. With comprehensive advice on managing urge incontinence and stress incontinence while traveling. For those with urge incontinence, I offer three key tips:

• Identifying bladder irritants and avoiding them on travel days
• Practicing urge suppression techniques
• Consulting a physician about short-acting bladder medications

For women with stress incontinence, I suggest using over-the-counter pessaries such as Impressa or Uresta. Additionally, I highlight the importance of having a backup plan, like wearing incontinence pads or underwear and using bathroom finder apps to alleviate travel anxiety. The overall goal is to help women travel confidently and enjoyably without being hindered by bladder issues.
