Kathryn Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 There have been some poo threads on here, so I thought it was time to talk about pee! Regarding hydration: I've read that a good guideline to how much water to drink is to drink enough to keep your urine clear or very light yellow (and I personally think that if you eat a lot of ' watery" fruits and veggies, like celery, lettuces, tomatoes, etc., you don't need the standard 8 glasses or more necessarily). I also know (and have observed) that some B vitamins can turn the urine dark yellow. BUT, I've also heard that this is because those vitamins are not being assimilated, so are basically being flushed out of the body and are not doing any good (could they be doing harm by taxing the kidneys). What are your thoughts on the whole pee vs. hydration issue and on the B vitamins issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think it's a bad sign if it stings or burns when it comes out. And it's generally the dark pee that stings like that. Clear pee is the way forward I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think it's a bad sign if it stings or burns when it comes out. Indeed, as it could be a sign of venereal disease or a bladder infection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I've heard the thing about drinking enough water per day until your urine is clear or very light. Also drink water regularly, not only when you're thirsty as that means you are beginning to get dehydrated. I've never heard about the vitamin B thing before though -- I always thought eating alot of starches turned your urine dark yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I drink clear urine to keep my urine clear, it makes sense when you think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I've been able to pee about 5 or more separate times in a 20-minute period. I have a tiny bladder and fear buses, taxis, or other forms of transportation that restrict my need to urinate frequently. It has been that way for me since I was a kid. I used to pee in my pants a lot. I don't do that these days, but get very close a few times It is a joke among my friends and co-workers because I plan my day around my bladder..........even if I experiment and don't drink anything all day!!! We have had a few other pee threads in the past too Sometimes I can last for hours without having to pee and I'm seriously proud of myself, like I'll tell people about it because it is such a major part of my life. I know, kinda weird, but try having a bladder the size of a 3 year old when you are in your 20s -Rob (this is more like poo but I didn't see a more urinating icon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'd like to hear that in your marriage vows: "...And the day I met you... it was almost as amazing as the time I managed to go an hour without peeing. That was a whole hour. I mean, we're not just talking 45 minutes. A whole hour. Then I met you, and it kind of reminded me of a bladder full of piss. But in a good way. Now I have someone to share it all with, not piss obviously, but anyway. It's all so amazing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) I'd like to hear that in your marriage vows: "...And the day I met you... it was almost as amazing as the time I managed to go an hour without peeing. That was a whole hour. I mean, we're not just talking 45 minutes. A whole hour. Then I met you, and it kind of reminded me of a bladder full of piss. But in a good way. Now I have someone to share it all with, not piss obviously, but anyway. It's all so amazing" ------------- I long for the day. I dream about it until I'm woken up because my bladder is full and needs to be released for a full stream lasting well over a minute. I will work on my vows now. I'm hoping to meet that special someone to celebrate my joys of lasting a full 60-minute hour. Long live the king! Now, if someone would just take the piss......in the British sense...is it a British thing? I know the expression comes from somewhere over there (as we've talked about in another thread). -Rob Edited March 2, 2006 by robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks, I'll post it in Milestones and Personal Bests when I set a new record. Thanks for the support! I will take on the world, and try not to piss on it. -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I know, kinda weird, but try having a bladder the size of a 3 year old when you are in your 20s I swear I have a bladder the size of a walnut! But yours must be the size of a small pistachio if you can go several times in 20 minutes (I thought men had more ' storage capacity' than women, LOL!) I take advantage of restrooms wherever I find them, and have a 'nervous bladder," so whenever I'm in a situation that makes me nervous, I feel like I have to pee all the time (even though not much comes out).

I take advantage of restrooms wherever I find them, and have a 'nervous bladder," so whenever I'm in a situation that makes me nervous, I feel like I have to pee all the time (even though not much comes out). I am the same way, with the nervous bladder....those are the times I can go multiple times in 20 minutes. Usually I'm good for about an hour, but still that is like 16 trips to the restroom during my waking hours. Sometimes I can last longer than an hour, and other times I can only go for about 15 minutes, and then I need another rest-stop. I like to drink a lot of water but I cut back because it makes it really bad and I can't sleep well and it disrupts my day to have to make so many trips to the restroom. Drinking lots of water is pretty good I think I try to get my body to adjust to the increased amount, but it doesn't seem to adapt. I know there are a few others on here who are in the small bladder club, based on previous posts on similar topics. So we're not alone -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonC Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have a tiny bladder and fear buses, taxis, or other forms of transportation that restrict my need to urinate frequently. I have the exact same problem. Before I go on long trips I always plan my pit-stops ahead of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
