Episode 33: Wait, Why Can't I Hover?
Joy Noble • March 18, 2024
Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 33, I give you the facts on why you shouldn’t hover over the toilet when you go to the bathroom. I get it! Toilets can be dirty, especially in public bathrooms. But I promise you will be okay. Just make yourself a little nest of toilet paper or use one of the toilet seat covers!
Tl;dl (too long; didn’t listen - but I mean come on, this episode is less than 15 minutes long!)
- When you hover your pelvic floor muscles cannot fully relax to let everything out.
- This is true for both urine and feces!
- Not fully voiding can lead into other issues like retention or urgency - don’t let this be you!
- Buy yourself some travel toilet seat covers
- Here’s the
Free People IG post that I reference about the pockets - go for the photos, stay for the comments!
