Can't go in car

I was going on 2 hour car trip so I decided to wear a diaper and not have to use a travel stop along the way. I figured I could just pee in my diaper while I was driving. When it came time to go I couldn't. First I tried while driving and I couldn't go then I stopped the car and tried, still couldn't. I had to get out of the car and stand up to be able to go in the diaper. Since I wear diapers around the house and can pee in them at home, I'm wondering what might have been different. Is this just a matter of training.

Yes dana it is a matter of training i find it easier sometime to go in a car

I haven't tried in a few years, since I had my old toyota pickup. I blamed the vibrations, seeing as I was going 75-80mph hehe.

I think its either the vibrations, or the fact that its somewhere you aren't used to going

I've noticed similar. I apparently cannot pee while driving. I guess at some point it would happen, or I might get injured fist. I can be extremely full and desperate and not able to actually pee while driving.

When I'm really desperate, I start uncontrollably wetting as soon as I stop the car and turn off the ignition. The loss of control is kind of cool, except for detail that diapers sometimes do not work all that well when you completely flood them whle sitting down!

I assume this is all because whatever part of my brain has to work my bladder release muscles is too distracted with driving issues. Someone here pointed out once that "letting go" is physiologically complex - you have to relax some muscles and tighten others at the same time.

I have had similar experiences in a car. I have used an external catheter and a leg bag several times while driving. It is very difficult to go while in the car. I have to be in pain before I can go, and then it isn't easy. I guess it is the vibration and the distraction of driving that makes it difficult.

A few months ago I was on a six hour trip and had to go about two hours in the trip. When I finally started to go the external catheter let loose and I wet myself! Fortunately, I had on plastic pants and some absorbent underware that kept my pants dry, but I was wet underneath. By the time I got to my destination and checked into the hotel, by bottom was starting to get irritated. When I took off my plastic pants, the smell was strong. To their credit, the plastic pants did a good job in keeping me dry and the smell contained (I hope).

I have been able to pee in my diapers while i was driving. this is the trick. kind of arch your back to lift your bum off the sit a little then just try to pee, i think that has someting to do with the prssure on your bum or i just got lucky

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how others see it, I have no problem wetting sitting down in a car,on the metro or in a restaurant.

I can pee just fine sitting down in a nappie. I am intrigued by the fact that I can not while driving a car. No problems at all if I am a passenger!

It is very hard for me to pee in a diaper while sitting in a car, but strangely, I can do my business when in a reclined pose (like at the movies).

I can wet any time, anywhere. I dribble more or less constantly, and would have to wear something even if I didn't like wearing them.

If you are able to pee sitting down otherwise, but have a problem in a car, part of the problem of "letting loose" might be a concern that a leak would damage some expensive seat upholstery.

Using a good pair of plastic pants over the diaper and an incontinence pad to protect the seat might help overcome this.

😁 😁 😁 😁 set cruise control, plant your feet on the floor board,and lift your butt off the seat then pee. 😁 😁 😁 😁

If you're driving you're so focused on the road that subconsciously you hold it. As a passenger your mind has a chance to wander. While simply sitting down there is no shaking that would bother you. I've found that after wearing diapers long enough I can wet or mess in most any situation, walking, driving, sitting, laying down in all wacky positions. Although anything a bit more active is still difficult to get myself to go, running for example I don't think would happen anytime soon.

I too have trouble going while driving. I have to lift up my butt to pee but only some comes out. Towards the end of the trip I am leaking out a little at a time every few minutes. Its neat just letting a little out at a time but it can hurt too.

I have to raise off the seat using the arm rests just alittle and i can start a flow,once it starts i relax and sit down and the pee keeps trickling out until i am done.

I agree one 100% with Hagar. The main problem is: "Ooooh, what if I soil my seats?" Well, you know why they invented plastic pants? I know from experience that 3 x 1.5L of Coke is NOT a broblem driving 400km - as long as you are tripple diapered (Abena- X-Plus) and remember those wide crotch, tight fitting plastic pants ;-)

I never really had any issue with this, with the exception of being in a bad sitting position to go.

Whenever I go on a long trip I like to diaper up first, Usually by the second hour I have already started wetting. I don't seem to flood while driving, but that is probably a good thing so every thing can be absorbed. So it's a little at a time for a long time with no really uncomfortable pressure build up for me.

Bucket seats are tougher than bench seats\, but I still seem to pee ok while driving. I do sometimes have to lift up a little or really super relax all involved muscles. beats stopping and the vibrations seem to make the need to pee more urgent for me. If I am traveling more than a few hours and don't pee, I am in agony by the time I stop.

Following surgery in '01, I was diaper-dependent for several years and

learned to pee virtually everywhere in every circumstance of necessity.

For a non-stop drive from the Tampa Area of Florida to my home in

Muskoka, Ontario, I once wore a thick cotton diaper with thick cotton

insert and, inside those, used a toddler-sized disposable (with holes

cut through the plastic liner). No change was required enroute, though I

limited my intake of liquids to less coffee than I'd preferred!

Needless to say, the diaper(s) were thoroughly saturated at my destination

and a mere drop away from torrential leaking.

Yes, it does help to use your legs (or an arm) to take a bit of weight off the seat.

I've worn diapers pretty much every where, and have no problem in any occassion except for the car. If I'm a passenger I have an easier time of it, but I still really have to think "I'm going to pee now." The only way I can release while driving is to consciously lift my butt off the seat slightly and let loose. Like a lot of people have said, driving is something requires a part of my mind that prevents me from relieving my bladder.

Once I was in an awful back up, and desperately need to pee. I tried to pee my pants, but couldn't do it.

Use a enema before you leave you wont have a problem using them

Try using a diaper while strapped in to an over-sized care seat! It can be fun bc of little wiggle room

I have used a diaper to limit rest stops on long trips but find I can't go while driving. Once I pee'd into the diaper while checking into a motel I had to go so bad, overflowed and left a puddle on the lobby floor. I didn't say anything and no one else was there to see it.

Like a lot of people have said, driving is something requires a part of my mind that prevents me from relieving my bladder.

It took some getting used to, but I have little difficulty now.

I still struggle with letting loose in the car sometimes. It's easier if I'm not the one driving.

I've always had to wear diapers during car trips train trips and even plane trips.

It is the one place where I find it really hard to pee, but I am slowly getting more able to do so

I find it almost impossible to go whilst driving. Even the stimulation of an enema is suppressed. I can't pee or poop which leads to a very uncomfortable full bloated feeling. Then as soon as I get out of the car the enema takes over and I uncontrollably flood and mess my nappy. I loose control in the arm chair at home, in public places, but not in the car. It has to be psychological. I can't think of any other explanation
