Doctor Shares We've All Been Peeing In The Wrong Position

Peeing does not seem like a very hard thing to do, right? However, Dr. Irwin’s recent TikTok video will make every toilet visit you’ve ever made feel like a stupid mistake. 

The US-based vaginacologist urges women to 'loosen up' during their toilet visits and instead of going for a ‘prim and proper’ position, slouch forward ‘like a cowboy’.

Dr Irwin explains in her video that she wants to ‘revisit the basics of proper peeing.'

Dr Irwin has a whooping 85k followers on her TikTok and in her video, she explains to her followers the correct way of peeing in the washroom.

She explained: “I’m going to talk about the proper ways for women to pee. Did you know that there's actually more than just one way for us to pee? 

“Most of us are taught to pee ‘properly’, very prim and proper [Dr Irwin sits down on a chair with a straight back and her feet neatly placed in front of her].”

She continued: “But I call it prim and improper, cause you’re not going to empty your bladder this way. One third of the urine will still remain in the bladder if you pee in this upright position.

“So the proper way to pee, is just like a cowboy. [Dr Irwin pushes her legs apart and slouches forward.]”

Dr Irwin explained: “Lean forward, put your elbows right above your kneecaps, and pee. Make sure your feet are flat though, because otherwise it’s still not going to empty properly.”

In fact, it seems like her advice is the right one as many fans took to the comments section to thank her for correcting their peeing position: “This works wonders, thank you for teaching us.”

Dr. Irwin specializes in pelvic health and incontinence, and a few weeks back posted a video that wanted people to stop peeing in the washroom.

Many thanked Dr. Irwin for fixing their wrong peeing habit

Dr Irwin explained: “You don't want to do it all the time because what happens is every time you hear the sound of water your bladder is going to want to pee – because it's used to hearing the sound of the water in the shower.

“So whenever you're washing your hands, washing the dishes, your bladder is going to be salivating, so to speak, because it wants to go and pee.”
