As a busy mom of three, my life often revolves around fast food stops and frequent trips to Target. Let’s be honest, after having three kids, my body isn’t what it used to be. My bladder? It can only hold out for about 20 minutes on a good day. If I feel the urge to go, there’s no holding back.
I’ve become quite resourceful when it comes to finding a restroom. But trust me, I have zero interest in soiling my favorite skinny jeans or floral underwear.
This wasn’t always the case, though. Back in my school days, I avoided using the bathroom at all costs. I’d squirm through classes, holding it in until I got home. In college, living on an all-girls floor, I’d wait until the coast was clear to do my business, even lifting my feet to hide my shoes if someone came in.
Once I entered the corporate world, I mastered the art of stealth bathroom breaks, taking the elevator to different floors just to avoid anyone thinking, “There goes Katie, she must be in the bathroom.” Oh, how times have changed! Now, I embrace the freedom to poop whenever needed, and it feels liberating.
After spending a lot of time in public restrooms, I’ve noticed a peculiar trend. Whenever I enter and see a closed stall, there’s almost always the unmistakable sound of toilet paper being rolled. It seems many women feel compelled to halt their process, squeezing everything back in rather than letting it flow. This is not only unnecessary but can also lead to discomfort and health issues.
Let’s face it: Women have bodily functions just like everyone else. Society is smart enough to understand that, yet we still feel the need to hide it. Why? Enough is enough! It’s time to stop the shame around pooping.
I see women carrying air fresheners in their purses as if they need to justify their time in the restroom. Meanwhile, men stroll out of the bathroom with little care, while we rush to mask our natural processes.
You can be stylish and still take a dump. You can be a powerful executive and let one rip. It’s time to stop worrying about who might be offended by our natural bodily functions.
Every mother I know has juggled a child or two while managing their own bathroom needs. We’ve earned the right to prioritize our comfort and well-being. Holding it in can lead to all sorts of issues, including discomfort and messy accidents.
So please, let’s allow our bodies to function as they were meant to. If you’re interested in learning more about home insemination and related topics, check out this great resource on pregnancy.
