pee

You're asking and I'm answering . . .

Dear FitSugar,

I know I'm supposed to stay hydrated and drink at least eight, eight-ounce glasses of water a day, but if I do, I end up peeing at least once every hour or more. Is this normal? How many times should I be going to the bathroom?

Yup, totally normal — I also go to the restroom a lot during the day. There is no real set number of times that you should be running to the loo, because it totally depends on your fluid intake. You drink water to replenish the water that gets lost through perspiration, excretion, and other bodily functions, and you don't necessarily need to be downing eight glasses of water each day. The amount depends on your lifestyle, whether you exercise a lot, or if you live in a warm climate. Check out Fit's Calculator to figure out how much water you should be drinking each day.

Everybody pees, but baby boys pee more. Or, at least it seems that way. Maybe because they can't control the urine and it doesn't just run down their legs, but shoots across the changing table, up in the air and sprays the unsuspecting.

It doesn't matter if they catch a draft while you're changing their diaper or if they're just getting in or out of the tub — the shower begins. And, it pays no attention to the fact that you just put them in a fresh diaper, are in an incredibly long line at Costco, or having a conversation with someone that you've run into on the street and can feel your sweatshirt being to saturate.

My son has peed around his diaper so many times, it doesn't faze me anymore. I say around because I don't mean through, though that also happens on occasion. Often times, I rush to the car or a public restroom to find that his diaper is completely dry! And, no matter how carefully I pull the diaper tabs so the sides overlap, my lil houdini still manages to make it escape.

My little girl loves bath time, especially all the brightly colored squirt animals that come with it. She splashes, giggles, squirts, and plays the entire time.

We always do a count down before she gets out, "1, 2, 3! Bath time's over!" and scoop her out of the tub. But, last night she decided to give us a little extra show. Just as my husband finished the countdown, she stood up and peed.

As a parent you try not to encourage naughty behavior, but sometimes you're just dumbfounded, and all you can do is laugh. So we did. It took us a minute to realize she was probably cold and not so clean (anymore).

Dear Sugar--

During intercourse, when I get ready to orgasm, I feel like I have to urinate and I have to stop because I'm scared I'm gonna wet the bed. Is that a normal feeling???

This never aired on TV. Gee, I wonder why. In this clip, Tyra gives a tutorial on toilet squatting etiquette in public restrooms. She even demonstrates, and then coins a catch phrase that will forever change the way you take care of business. Classy.
