As a busy mom juggling three kids, fast food stops and shopping trips to Target are part of our routine. And let me tell you, after three pregnancies, my body isn’t quite what it used to be. On a good day, my bladder can hold out for about 20 minutes. When nature calls, there’s no holding back, no matter how tightly I squeeze!
I’ve become quite adept at seizing any chance to use a restroom, especially if it’s a public one. Trust me, I have zero interest in soiling my cute floral undies and skinny jeans.
But it wasn’t always this way. As a child, I was the queen of holding it in during school hours, waiting anxiously until I got home to finally relieve myself. In college, living on an all-girls floor meant I’d hover on the edge of my seat, lifting my feet off the ground when someone entered the restroom to avoid detection. Fast forward to my corporate days, where I would dash to another floor to avoid anyone suspecting that I might be taking too long because, heaven forbid, they thought I was in there doing my business.
Now, I’m a different woman. I champion the idea of pooping freely, and believe me, it feels liberating!
During my many bathroom visits, I’ve noticed a curious habit among women: the sound of toilet paper being rolled while in a stall. It seems like women feel compelled to hold back their bowel movements mid-way, opting to squeeze instead of letting it flow. How’s that for tough? It’s as if we’re conditioned to hide our natural urges!
Let’s be clear: trying to hold it in when your body is signaling you to go is not only uncomfortable, it’s bad for your health. Nobody enjoys being backed up! Plus, holding back can lead to unpleasant issues like hemorrhoids or fissures.
It’s no secret that women have to eat too, and let’s not forget we all have bodily functions. Society needs to recognize that. So, why the shame when it comes to relieving ourselves? I see women carrying air fresheners in their bags like it’s a badge of honor. Meanwhile, men stroll out of the restroom without a care in the world, often bragging about their visits.
You can be a polished professional and still take a moment to drop a deuce. Moms everywhere have mastered the art of multitasking, sometimes even attending to their kids while handling their own business. Why should we feel embarrassed about it?
We focus too much on how we might offend others with our natural processes instead of prioritizing our own health and comfort. When you cut a bathroom visit short, it can lead to discomfort later on, and trust me, nobody wants to deal with that mess!
It’s time to embrace our bodily functions. If you’ve got to go, let it happen! Women have enough to deal with—whether it’s tampons up our sleeves or holding in a fart—why add the stress of hiding our bathroom habits?
Let’s stop worrying about what others think and start prioritizing our own well-being. After all, women take care of everyone else’s mess; we’ve earned the right to let go of our own.

In summary, it’s high time we normalize bodily functions and free ourselves from the stigma surrounding them. Embrace your needs and prioritize your comfort—because we all deserve to feel at ease.
