Autumn is here! (…Almost)

It’s September. Which means it’s basically October. Which means it’s FALLLLL. What do I love during this season - my pumpkin spice lattes. If you’re in the same boat - or maybe you prefer the apple cider taste … or the year round vanilla or mocha flavors - you may notice that you seem to have to pee a lot more in the time after drinking said bevergino.

Did you know that caffeine is considered a bladder irritant? It makes your bladder more talkative and you may find yourself in and out of the restroom after enjoying those decadent sips!

I’m a firm believer in us being human and indulgences being lovely and necessary. If you are having a really hard time managing your bladder, or you’re in a context where getting to the toilet is tricky, you may consider decreasing or making those latte treats less frequent. However, we’re all human here and sometimes your taste buds are running the show! In that case, just pay attention to your bladder’s signals and make sure to “honor the urge.” If you have to go, and especially if you experience leakage, make sure to get your booty on the toilet when nature calls!

And maybe even comment with your favorite fall drink options! I’m always looking for recommendations!
