Four hours is just not that huge of a thing and in fact it could be a sign if a person cannot go that long without needing to go to the bathroom as an indicator of a medical problem.

Four hours is not tough at all if no vaginal births and you are young. Menopausal and having had vaginal births, no C sections, is an entirely different story.

I imagine you can sleep through the night without needing to urinate. That's something else that stops at a certain age. It's one of the reasons the elderly have such poor sleeping habits; are frequently grouchy due to constant sleep deprivation, need to nap etc.

For me, this is something I can't do. Not won't, can't. There's no way I could permanently be successful anymore than I could flap my wings and fly if told to.

Kegels only work to a certain degree. They cannot give me back what age and lowered hormone levels and permanent damage has taken away.

Tha's unhealthy to have someone wait that long and if the blogger 'misses' at time, she has to wait until the next one or use a diaper or go on herself.  She is being treated like an animal and horribly at that.  Infections are just the tip of the iceberg for complications, serious damage can be done.  I hope her partner wakes up to reality before its too late and she ends up in the hospital; that can be considered a crimincal act, even bottom-types are entitled to use the restroom as needed, but at scheduled times, I would LOVE to sit on the jury.

Let’s have some reality and perspective here.

Four hours is just not that huge of a thing and in fact it could be a sign if a person cannot go that long without needing to go to the bathroom as an indicator of a medical problem. Most people though who cannot wait that long is not so much about their body but by their intake levels. Yes, it is important to drink a significant amount of water but this does not mean to always have water or a caffeine product with you at all times. Part of the control would be when you intake your liquids to time it.

Another thing she does have an option of wetting herself. That maybe not for many or most, but actually there are people into it. It is in the realm of humiliation play not exactly a way out there type thing.

I did not try to read the blog but yeah if there is an actual twelve hour that is dangerous but I am not sure I buy that as a fact or at least this as a theory for other people to explore with times that work for them.

6:30PM to 6:30AM is 12 hours.  That IS dangerious to hold that long.  {uses fingers and toes to count} I suck at math, but 630 to 630 is 12 hours and that is VERY dangerious, it's not good hygene. 
 
It's not my body, but personally, I still think humuliation is disgusting  beyond words as its the sign of someone who is ill.  Ask any medical doctor what the ramifications of 'holding it' for 12hours can be, it would scare you.
 
I enjoy bathroom control, but what the OP brings up is NOT safe. We all have limits and as a bottom-type our first duty is to keep ourselves healthy for our partners, this seems to have been something that was missed.

It always suprises me the number of negative responses that urine threads get from subs.

OK 24hrs into this and its a no brainer so far.  No discomfort.  I am getting 5 times allocated throughout the day to piss with the longest space 7.5hrs at night while I sleep, and physically its not even a challenge.  I am not straining, nor holding on, except for the morning one when the time comes to piss I am sitting down and forcing myself to go.  If anything, it is actually increasing the number of times I empty my bladder during the day.

What it is doing is making me conscious of my schedule.  It is making me aware of how my body feels.  It's like when you declare you are going on a diet all you think about is chocolate, well now I am preoccupied with the toilet, watching the clock, not wanting to miss my time... because I know if I do then it could become challenging.  It's become all about self discipline.

For those who think that Masters that would set this are cruel... my monthly cycle started this morning and the first thing he did upon finding out was to ask if I was in any additional discomfort due to being on a schedule during my flow, and if I was then I was to report it at once and we would make any necessary adjustments.

I am sorry Laurell, I didnt meant to imply that all the responses were negative ones (and be default including yours), merely an observation that after having read several posts over time on the theme of toiletting, it seems to be a subject that brings out a negative response from a lot of subs. 

I should add it was great to see responses from those who loved the idea or could see the merit in the exercise, and who have an open minded approach to new scenarios.

I won't speak for others, I'll just say that *my* only concern was the physical health aspect of it all. I don't usually put little disclaimers on my posts to make I don't "offend" anybody with my opinion. Especially if the OP asked for our feelings on it.

By the way... disagreeing isn't being close-minded.
