When you have to go, you have to go. And when you can’t, you want to even more. Weng Chen (aka Messy Cow) just illustrated the time she got caught in this vicious cycle. Her comic is intense, vivid, and so painfully real, you almost feel the struggle, too.
To our delight, we at Bored Panda featured quite a few strips by the universally beloved artist. These include the difference between having the first vs. second child and the painful ways in which a 2-year-old can hurt you.

Even though it’s about a person’s bodily functions, this comic doesn’t seem yucky or inappropriate. Just like the fart guide Weng created earlier. “It’s only gross if you think it’s gross and I didn’t think so,” the artist told Bored Panda. “It can happen to anyone.”
Some internet users questioned why didn’t she pee in the forests surrounding the apartment complex. “They were further away in real life,” Weng explained. “I couldn’t take my daughter with me or leave her in the car for that long.”
“[Also,] I’ve been told that even the adult-size diaper wouldn’t have worked. So keep at least 3 with you, and a plastic bag.”
In the end, she doesn’t regret peeing in her car. “It’s a small incident and didn’t cost much.” For anyone who can’t get past some dreadful memories, Weng suggests taking full responsibility and just try to do the right thing in the future.
I almost snorted out my tea, while having breakfast with my 3 year old. I had a similar experience, but with number two. On my way to work i noticed, that i should have used the bathroom while riding the train. 'naah, i' m good. I'll just walk a little faster.' (still had to walk about thirty minutes) Oh the irony. As soon as i left the train my bowels screamed for release. Still 30 minutes to walk. Do you know the sport walking? Add huffing and puffing and profuse sweating and you have an idea of how i looked on my agonizing way to the toilet. Thank god no one was there with me when the gates to mordor opened once again
OMG. Poor soul. I have had some extreme peeiness moments but she was worse off. Tip for next time, it is tricky but possible to pee in a bag if you got one, or a big plastic bottle if you cut the top off (and poss burn the worst edge off)
I feel you lady. It is difficult to hold pee as it is, but especially after a delivery, the scenario changes a lot. It gets more difficult, I don't exactly know the reason. But this post is super hilarious.
Pelvic floor muscles are weakened by pregnancy and childbirth.

I was asking myself that too. Here: "Some internet users questioned why didn’t she pee in the forests surrounding the apartment complex. “They were further away in real life,” Weng explained. “I couldn’t take my daughter with me or leave her in the car for that long.”"

That gave me a good laugh but same time I feel with her. 90 points for finding a solution event it was working only half ways. It was worth the car wash I am sure
Omg I can so relate to this. At age 50 this became a huge problem :(
With practice it is actually possible gain enough pelvic control that you are able to stop peeing midstream.
Doesn’t quite make sense. If she overestimated her bladder she would have had more than enough diaper capacity because she would have planned for more absorbency than was needed. What occurred here, based upon what was told in the story, was that she UNDERESTIMATED her bladder. Cannot help but commiserate though. I have felt that same sense of absolute desperation. Nothing else in the world exists other than the need to empty that screaming bladder.
I have no shame, I would have picked a bush. I've always has a low tolerance for having to pee. When I was a teenager and my buddy and I would stay out all night, he started carrying toilet paper in the car for those types of moments.
Lol. Forty apartments. Should've knocked on a random door or visited the office. They all have toilets.
She should have just peed behind a tree. It looks like there was half a forest behind those apartment buildings.
I usually don't find these comic strips funny but this one got me good! You see my bladder and her's could be related!! I have been in her shoes most of my life and now thank goodness they have a pill for that, which I take every day faithfully at 3:00 pm. Thank you for the good laugh and refreshing view on an awful problem so many women face.
I have IBS. My urges are of a different nature, but I have driven home more than once with my butt clenched so tight it isn't even on the car seat anymore. Why? Because I knew I could make it home and who wants to go anywhere else?
Uuugh I just went to the bathroom and now I have to pee again after reading this
How is this worthy of a story? One of the reasons I deleted a Facebook friend was because of her incessant stories about peeing or leaking.
Was that comment really a necessary and helpful addition to the discourse?

Men can hold it in longer, it’s easier to pee in a bottle, it’s easier to pee in public as you don’t have to pull down your pants.
