This high schoolβs new rule is going viral: π« students can only use the bathroom 3 times a day / 7 per week during class.
Hereβs the catch β¬οΈ
School hours are usually 8β3, so yes β 3 trips might cover a healthy bladder schedule if timed around breaks and lunch.
BUT⦠it depends on:
π Distance to the nearest restroom
β° Class transitions & extracurriculars
π
Extracurriculars & keeping up with friends
A healthy bladder typically empties every ~3 hours (6x/day: 7, 10, 1, 4, 7, 10).
And for female teens π©Έπ©Έπ©Έis sometimes unpredictable and heavy requiring more changes in feminine products!! (Not addressed in my video.)
Limiting access could force kids to hold it longer than ideal, which isnβt great for bladder or pelvic floor health long-term.
π If you (or your teen) notice urgency, frequency, or excessive flow during a teenβs period thatβs your cue to reach out to a pelvic floor PT. Your bladder should fit your life, not the other way around.
