My girlfriend has enormous holding power. We went on a long 700 mile trip for the holiday weekend. I stopped about every 200 miles to relieve my bladder. She never got out of the car except at one rest area to have lunch. When we arrived at my parent's house, after driving for 9 hours, she made no attempt to use the toilet. We stayed upstairs in separate rooms with a bathroom in between. I heard her brushing her teeth that night but never once used the toilet. When I woke up the next morning, she came into the bathroom to watch me pee. Then she sat down on the toilet while I shaved. I glanced at my watch, she peed for 4 + minutes. It was a gusher. I asked her why she didn't go all day yesterday. She said unless she has a lot to drink she only pisses once a day in the morning. She says that she like her mother had a huge bladder. It holds about 1500 ml. (or about a quart and a half). I never heard about anything like that.

It is true. Bladders DO come in a staggering range of capacities and genetic predisposition probably plays a good part of it. Having a "mega-bladder" has it's positives and its drawbacks. Like your girlfriend, I seldom if ever have to relieve myself except in the morning, but occasionally it can be a downright embarrassment if I have to use a restroom and an audience of women are witness to my 4 to 6+ minute waterfall. I have heard everything from "are you hollow" to "go see a doctor" which I did as a teen. 1500ml is very large but not extraordinary; my own bladder holds over 2 liters without difficulty.
If you want to read more on so-called mega-bladders, see a condition known as "Lazy bladder." And go easy on your girlfriend- that long of a pee is normal for her.

It's not very normal. I think most people pee about 5-7 times a day. But if it isn't a problem for her thn just let it be. If she is holding it all day then that is unnatural and she can get a bladder infection from that.
