How can I avoid having to use the bathroom during a long plane trip?!


Question: How can I avoid having to use the bathroom during a long plane trip?
New York to Rio(Brazil)....I'm always in the window seat boxed in by sleeping parents and older sister sits in next row(shes in high school). I'm shy/embarrassed about having to make scene about going on the plane.

That is a long way to go without using the toilet. You will be in much pain.

When you need to go, then just nudge somebody, and tell them that you need to go.
And if they get cross, tell them you want to sit in the aisle.

Have a pleasant trip.

I've read that flight can take from 9-1/2 hours to twelve hours. That's just too long to hold it. I'm sorry, but you'd be causing problems for your body by doing this.

Ask your parents to exchange the tickets so that you can have a seat on the aisle. Explain to them that this is important to you. Explain that you become embarrassed. Ask that they consider your feelings about this. (Do so as calmly as you can.)

Definitely do drink beverages on the flight. Flying can make you become dehydrated more quickly than being on the ground. You need to keep hydrated to stay well and healthy.

If your parents won't get you an aisle seat, then try to remember that every other member of this flight also must get up and use the facilities, too. You're not weird, you're just human. Start watching all the other people on the plane. Notice that they're all just a little bit unique. They all do different things - but no one is standing in judgement over them and pointing a finger. :-) We just all have to do things like this. You're okay. You're just a normal human being.

Good luck! Hope you enjoy your travel.



It won't be good for you not to drink water and go to the bathroom! Ask one of those sleeping parents if they are going to sleep, why can't they sleep next to the window and let you on the aisle? Ask the attendants if there are other seats on the aisle. And mainly, don't be embarrassed. You are not making a scene. You are just getting up on a plane!!!!!!



you should let go of the shyness and use the bathroom.
because leaving yourself without beverage you will become dehydrated
and that is not good for your body at all. you will then arrive in Brazil
looking tired and dehydrated instead of pampered and refreshed.
Drink liquids and use the bathroom. Ask politely, most people dont mind.
Try to time it so you are of little inconvenience.



what comes out depends on what goes in. you ain't gonna die if you don't eat or drink for a few hours before your trip, and don't have anything on the plane either.



dnt drink alot of water and dnt eat things that makes you have to go
