The answer? It’s called double voiding, and it helps your bladder fully empty without pushing. Here’s how to do it: 1️⃣ When you’re done peeing, wipe and stand up. 2️⃣ Then sit back down again and relax, don’t strain or force it. 3️⃣ Let your bladder release any remaining urine. It’s simple, gentle, and helps prevent pushing when you pee. Save this tip for your next bathroom break. 🫶🏻 | The Vagina Whisperer
