This article from a couple of days ago (Is Peeing 'Just in Case' Bad For You? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/w...-bathroom.html) examines whether the habit of peeing just before you go to bed (so that you don't have to get up in the middle of the night, or so you don't wet the bed), or before leaving for a long car ride (so that Dad doesn't have to stop the car for a bathroom break) might worsen incontinence problems. I suppose that the phenomenon of "breaking the seal" might be related to this. I've "staged" (or caused) pee accidents by proactively peeing every half hour or so while drinking lots of water before a drive; that ensures that it isn't long after I get in the car and drive before I can't hold it anymore. I wonder how common a cause for accidents this might be.
The main reason I find this interesting is that it promises a novel approach to narratives about young women wetting. Mom instills in her daughters the fear of using public bathrooms. She also insists that they always pee before a trip so that they can get to their destination without needing a bathroom break in one of those dangerous public bathrooms. Over time, this leads to the girls' weakened pelvic floors. The girls (18 and 20) come home from college for Thanksgiving. They both already have become accident prone. It's time to drive to Grandma's house, which is 4 hours away. Mom makes them both pee before they leave the house. Within a half hour both girls need to pee again. They beg their parents to stop, but Dad says he just wants to get there and Mom reminds them there's no safe place to go. A double wetting in the back seat is inevitable, and it happens after an hour -- the girls have to sit in their urine-soaked panties and jeans. One of them wets a second time when they are a half hour from grandma's. The other tries to hang on, but loses it and wets as she gets out of the car. Mom is livid, Dad is apologetic. Grandma welcomes them inside before realizing that both girls have peed their pants. She says they're far too old not to be potty trained, but then chuckles and tells them that their mother had the same problem when she was their age. Mom relents and admits she put on a diaper before the trip (and peed in it several times -- it has leaked just slightly in a crescent patch of wetness around her left ass cheek) and tells them they'll get to wear diapers on the trip home if they want.
