The Soothing Sounds of Running Water email this discussion to a friend?

Alright People, this is a Discussion about Bladder Control.

Do you find that the sound of running water causes you to have the urge to urinate, or not? Does the sound of running water bother you in this way at all, or not? Do you know anyone who is bothered by this?

Why do you think that running water causes some people to have the urge to urinate?

I don't know about other people, but in my case it is a trigger! I mean, I don't need too much so just go into the bathroom, since I can't hold it for long time. But a little cold feet, or running water, are like the perfect trigger for my bladder!

Really, cold feet does this for you as well as running water? I hadn't heard that one yet, berlinlife. Do your feet often get cold?

no, the sound doesn't bother me...
there is nothing better that i like than sitting by a waterfall or near a pond in someone's back yard.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

I agree that I also enjoy this type of thing, cher913. I find it very relaxing.

Running water make me want to pee. When I was a girl, we used to camp by this stream in West Va. In the morning, I was doing the potty dance. Yes, it is peaceful, but the bladder is something to think about.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

You've done a marvelous job of bringing together the practical with the emotional, cyntrow. I imagine the cold water of that West Virginia stream made you feel quite perky!


myLot reputation of 81/100. cyntrow (2699)   ranked 814 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

LOL. Ah yes, Transdisc. Perky indeed. More so nowadays. LMAO

Running water does not cause me to urinate. The only things that makes me urinate is drinking to much coffee. I drink coffee in the morning and when I go to work I have to go to the restroom a lot. In the evening time I also drink coffee nd when I am on mylot I have to get up a lot to use the restroom.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

Wow, it sounds like you DO drink a lot of coffee, babystar1. Do you ever drink too much while in the car and really, really, really, really need to go?

I used to commute to school with some guys who did that and we would inevitably get stuck in a traffic jam, and they were in agony!


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10433)   ranked 538 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

lucky you then. you don't feel the call of the toilet when touching water or hearing it run from your faucet. wish i was like you, too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. babystar1 (3159)   ranked 1,124 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

yes it happened to me before that is why if I go out of town I dont drink coffee because I have to take to many bathroom stops.

This has no effect on me (but it probably wouldn't as much anyway because I'm a girl). It really bothers my brother but he's young and will most likely grow out of it. I don't see how sounds of running water can make someone need to urinate! It doesn't make sense to me.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

I was also of the opinion that it was more of a guy thing, taymouse, but this discussion has tilted my opinion in the other direction, as mostly women say they have or are aware of other women whose bladders are affected by running water.

i am not sure about the real explanation to this. what i am sure of is that i get the urge to urinate when i hear the sound of the water or worse... when i had water running onto my hands. hehe. it's kinda weird. but i am glad to know that it does not only happen to me but to some, too.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

Yes, it seems to happen to a lot of people, maryannemax. I imagine that it gets frustrating at times.

You know my boss has one of those waterfall things in her office because she is trying to stay calm and relaxed. I think she is trying to create the whole zen thing. In my opininion it would just make me want to pee often. Nothing about running water says peace to me. When I was little and being potty trained my parents use to run the sink for me to pee.. So I guess that answers your question.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

Yes, I suspect that many parents ran water to potty train, and now look at the results. I imagine that you regard that waterfall thing in your boss's office as a torture device more than a mode of relaxation. Does your boss know what it does to you? Do you have to go in the boss's office often?

i'm not sure if it's exactly the sound of running water that gives me the urge, but im more certain about something similar to it-- the hiss sound. long sssssssssssounds. haha. i also wonder why.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

I take it that you don't have any pet snakes?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

Also, it must stink if you ever get a flat tire. As if you didn't have the stress of fixing the flat, but the essssssssssscaping air might cause a need to find a toilet.


arrowtooth (42)   ranked 3,321 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

it might. though the sound of escaping air somehow "dulutes" the s sound, so it might have a weaker effect.

there is definately nothing more soothing than to listen to running water .the sound of the waves crashing on the shore or the sound of a mounyain stream fruuning over the rocks it`s an awesome sound and so relaxing.
Mind you i do not have a bladder problem yet and hope i never will but for those who do it may be a very different story


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

Yes, I feel sorry for those who do have to deal with this, _hope_. It must be quite frustrating.

You know?I never though it would bother me...

I was in this lecture and was in the middle of a row. One of the presentations had this running water sound thingy in their powerpoint slides. Man...I realllly didnt want to go but well....when you gotta go you gotta go....


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 4 out of 7,091 in have discussion on day to day issues  3 years ago

That would be a miserable way to learn that lesson,vampoet. I wonder how many others in the lecture experienced the same thing! Was there a mad dash to the toilet after the lecture?
