My mom always holds it in until she can barely walk and she says it's because it makes it come out smooth and easy, but I think it's unhealthy.

mmmmm I think that's okay. I mean theoretically speaking as soon as you feel the need to go you are suppose to go. but I do that to because sometimes it will come out so squishy (sorry for the tmi). but if you wait a little while it sort of compounds and comes out nice and smooth like you said. i'm w/ mom. i mean i don't propose holding it for several hours or a day. but i say 1-2 hours is okay.

it is unhealthy, she just likes to hold it in until she absolutely has to go and doesn't have to spend any more time in the bathroom than she has to. water is absorbed in the lower bowel and if you hold it long enough, you will actually be constipated because all the water from the bowel movement will absorb into the bowel itself and then into the body. that causes toxins to be in the body, blood, and tissues which is HARMFUL.

Well, you aren't supposed to hold it in... except of course until you get to the bathroom. Holding it in too long can actually cause constipation.

Think of it as trash. And ask yourself how long should trash be kept in the house, and you will get the idea. You
get rid of it as quickly as possible or the quality of life in the
house will become very bad.

1) You're not supposed to hold it in at all, that's keeping toxins in your system the body is trying to get rid of.
2) Your mom is gross.
