I have just discovered that my bladder will hold, 500ml without much bother.

How much does yours hold?

Come on, you know you'd love to know really!

5 litres.

FalafelAtYourFeet · 14/03/2010 01:13

How did you discover this exactly?

ShePoo · 14/03/2010 01:14

Well after drinking 16 pints of bitter i find i can always piss in one, so, a pint?

FalafelAtYourFeet · 14/03/2010 01:15

Yes but after that FFP (first fatal piss) how much comes out?

CamelBladder · 14/03/2010 01:32

I just wanted to know, it was a burning question.

So I peed in the bathroom jug

If it was burning you should be down the GP surgery I'm afraid

But surely it depends if you've had a drink. I once catheterised a woman who let 3 litres go.

anywhere from 250-600 is normal- evidently the urge to go comes at 250.

TotalChaos · 14/03/2010 09:34

wincing at the 3 litres! I had to be catheterised once after retention, I let a litre go, it was a pretty painful experience holding onto that litre....

i did 800ml one morning. had this teted in hospital when they were doing all sorts of hormone tests.

every time i peed it had to be in a jug so could not be bothered over night so waited. i think most other times it was about 500ml max.
